ASUS - ROG Strix SCAR II 17.3" Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16Gb Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 - 512GB Solid State Drive

It came with a entire row of dead pixels. I had to go to the closest Best Buy for a new one and I had to wait one more week to delivered the new one. Besides the problem with the first one, I love it !!! Best screen ever and it’s super fast!! I can play my games in ultra graphics with no lag

So it's taking everything I throw at it and more and not even batting an eye. Games, programs, movies, etc. All run and look buttery smooth. The screen is amazing. Never thought too much on 144 refresh rate but it's super nice. Everything in this machine is awesome but I only have two faults. It can get pretty loud (to me) when a demanding game is playing. Pretty hot too. That and there is some screen bleeding. Hard to notice unless you really look for it. Seems to disappear for me every now and again. Other than those two (three-ish) complaints it's an amazing laptop and I'm so glad I got it.

first off I got this on a price match sale. was $300 off which made it a great deal for a new laptop. has everything you need for gaming. Has a small Intel 512gb M.2 SSD drive which is only downside. I only added a 2.5" Samsung evo 860 2TB SSD drive. Asus supplied the cable and screws to install extra drive. nice touch! Has 144HZ monitor and GSync . I have had it almost a week now and no complaints. runs fast and no crashes. only other thing I may add is 1 more 16gb stick of ram to boost it in future. they give you 1 stick and a free one open. bottom case comes off easy with about 10 screws. I highly recommend this laptop.

This is the most expensive laptop I have ever purchased, but I have not regretted it. I bought it initially because I wanted to play VR games on it, which it does with no issues. I also play other casual/single player games on it and have not found any game that gives me any trouble. It has one of the nicest feeling keyboards for a laptop for my preferences. The screen itself looks very smooth and color quality looks good. However, I do use other monitors at home mostly because of screen size. One thing I really appreciate is that if I'm using it as a normal computer, on battery, the battery saving performance really tunes down the performance and does not get warm. While plugged in and on full performance, the computer does run warm, but no hotter than I would expect.

I purchased this laptop because it had everything I wanted for $1500. It was a 17" 1080p 144hz screen with 16gb ram, a RTX 2070 8gb video card, and i7 9th gen Intel processor. It claimed to have a unique cooling feature and it basically it was the best you could get for the money during Black Friday. Unfortunately, this laptop failed to perform to its expectations. First, let's talk about the video card. Across various games such as WoW, Conan, Overwatch, Apex Legends, Resident Evil 2, and few others, the RTX 2070 performed on-par with my wife's RTX 2060 in her lower-end Asus laptop. Simply put, unless you plan on doing a lot of 3D virtual gaming, don't waste your money on the 2070 for just 5-10 FPS more. Secondly, and this is on Asus or MSI, the video card and processor would overheat. Playing some games caused the CPU and GPU temps to reach over 100 degrees celsius! This was in a cold basement with fans on max on a flat table! Those temps damage components and reduce longevity. I suspect it was poor thermal pasting when it was manufactured and Geek Squad agreed. Apparently, according to Geek Squad, its a very common issue with Asus and MSI laptops. So when I brought it back to Best Buy, not only was it OOS everywhere, but there was a 4 week lead time to send it to Asus for them to fix! When I asked for a comparable laptop, they wanted to charge me $100 more for a laptop with the same specs! In the end, I returned it very disappointed in Asus and dissatisfied with Best Buy's handling of it. I give it 2 stars because the screen looked great and it played great when it wasn't overheating.

If you can get this or any version of this on sale, it is hard to beat. Piwerful than most gaming laptops for a fraction of the costs. Cant go wrong with Asus.

I love this laptop! Its super fast and I have yet to find a game it doesn't handle well (60+ fps with ultra settings).

Very impressive and good performance for gamers . Nice look.
