Customers commend the ROG Strix Scar Edition 17.3" Gaming Laptop's performance. However, some customers note that the fan can be quite loud during operation. This noise level is a point of contention for some users. The overall experience appears to be positive despite this drawback.

I have been searching for the best laptop that I could get despite how much I would be paying, after more than 20 days of searching and comparing different brands of laptops, I decided to choose this brand since I have 3 ASUS laptops at home. I paid $33 for fast shipping in order to get it before Christmas and because it would take it two weeks to be delivered with the default delivery option. It was delivered within two days, and when I got it, I was so happy but not for long. I started to set up the windows, and it in the first minute, the laptop shut down without a clue, and turned it on again and let me choose the language, log in into the Wifi, and shut down again. I turned it on again and it asked me not to turn it off, it updated the BIOS and then it shut-down again, In addition to that, the sound of the laptop was very very loud for some reason that I don't know what was it?. Finaly, I got a message that were asking me to do a recovery for the windows, and when I tried to do becuse I thought that it might word, I got another message stating that it can not continue and the ther are some errors in the recovery. After all these incidences which just happened more than 8 times where I decided to put it back in its box and return it in less than 24 hours. I'm extremely disappointed with this laptop and I was thinking that it would be the best of the best. this is just the beginning. I might go with MSI.

Great Gaming Laptop Pros: Price Graphics Card CPU Con: Fan is Loud but still bearable So far no temperature problems comes with a lot of ASUS bloatware that I recommended removing makes the PC run smoother

I only had mine for a few days, but I like the look of the pc. It arrived in the same week i ordered which was amazing, and two days after the it began shipping. Haven't seen any issues so far, and i love the detail that asus put into the box and the ROG themed items, like the stickers and keychain clip. Other reviewers would say the fan gets a bit loud but you can control the fan speeds, and a laptop cooling pad is a good idea too. Would buy another asus rog computer again if i need to in the future.
