Q: does this model have the Mini LED display?
A: According to the "Features" list found on the Best Buy page is seems so, see below: Exceptional visuals with the 18" ROG Nebula HDR The Nebula HDR badge means you are getting the highest tier panel, featuring Mini LEDS with up to 110 nits brightness, 2000 dimming zones, QHD 240Hz/3ms, 100% DCI-P3 color with Pantone Validation, among other premium features.
Q: i have a simple question is the SSD TB space expanable? if so how much
A: Yes, the SSD storage space in the ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (G834JZR) is expandable. The laptop comes with an M.2 2280 PCIe, Gen4x4 Performance SSD, and it has two slots. The maximum capacity of the SSD that the laptop can support is 2TB per slot.
A: Latest is 834, previous was 814. Difference is that 834 has max capacity of 64GB of RAM while 814 has max capacity of 32GB of RAM. You are welcome!
A: No, RAID was not implemented on this laptop, it is preinstalled with 1TB SSD.
Q: Is the battery replaceable if it goes bad?
A: Yes, the battery is replaceable.
Q: What is the minimum brightness? Like, can the screen be seen at minimum brightness in the dark?
A: The minimum brightness for the display may vary and it can be setup manually inside Settings > System > Display.
Q: How easy is it to clean the three dust filters?
A: For the air filters located on the bottom plastic panel on the Strix Scar 18", any soft bristled brush such as a clean and dry paintbrush can be used to swipe away any visible dust. If you want to clean inbetween the fans and heatsink, you will have to remove the entire heatsink as the fans are placed underneath the heatpipes. This makes the whole process very tedious and risky since both the GPU and CPU use liquid metal TIM and is not recommended. There is the danger of the liquid metal dripping onto the motherboard and shorting it out if the heatsink removal process is done incorrectly.
