Customer Ratings & Reviews

I just replaced my Alienware with this Beast and do NOT regret it! I have been playing Baldur's Gate on it and it is just stunning. I like the fact that it weighs less than my other laptop, but it is just as powerful if not more. Very impressed with ASUS...great purchase.

This thing is crazy fast! Games run super smooth at 240Hz and the big 18" screen looks amazing. Tons of storage, plenty of RAM, and the RTX 5080 handles everything I throw at it. Stays cool for a gaming laptop and feels solid. Definitely worth it if you want top performance.

For an open box item, it seems like new. It still had the original packaging. The computer is good quality. I think for the price of the open box deal it was worth it. The only thing that I find lacking on this laptop is the the sound and the screen is not that premium but can be adjusted to look good. The screen has a bit of a yellowish tint that can be adjusted out and the blacks could be better. The sound is a quite thin but is loud enough. Other than those two things, it's great gaming laptop. I've gotten open box items from Best Buy before and they did an excellent job at handling and rating this one. Sometimes excellent isn't really excellent in my opinion but they seem to be improving in that regard.

First time gamer, haven’t played games in about 6-8 years. got this laptop so I can occupy some time when on the road traveling for work. I love it so far the quality is amazing graphics are really good. The only down fall that I seen and again I’m new here so I don’t know if this is normal, but the battery only lasted about an hour and a half while unplugged and watching Netflix. Not a big deal for me cause I’m going to have it plugged in at a desk anytime I use it. Other than that I love it so far!

The graphics card is choice! 2 TB is a good amount of storage. It's a heavy laptop and the battery runs down quickly when gaming.

Was looking for a replacement for my ASUS ROG Flow Z13. Years go by and I'm not young anymore. I chose to have a big screen and not to bother with settings in games (I checked “ultra” and played). So far so good, I really liked the fact that I can quickly clean it or add SSD: without twisting the nuts on the cover, the back cover comes off quickly with a click.

I got this as a desktop replacement, and it has more than handled everything i have thrown at it. Build quality is excellent. Didnt really have much bloat on it, just Amory Crate and thats not to bad to use, could be better I guess. I would have gotten the Stix Scar with a 5080 for the mini-led panel that I wish this had. As I could care less about all the extra RGB that isnt just keyboard. Overall i am very happy with this thing. It is indeed a beast and worth the extra $400 over the 4080 version for future proofing alone.

After puttong in lots of research into gaming laptops, it really comes down between the ASUS and Lenovo lines with both the Strix G18 and the Lenovo 7i being on a similar playong field. ASUS is typically a little more adorned for it's performance, while Lenovo has OLED and better build quality. Lenovo customer support is the absolute worse, though I do not know much about ASUS. Price at the time of this review is the same for both models durong Cyber-Monday sales.

I got this about 2 weeks ago and so far I have no issues or complaints. The cpu is extremely fast and my the gpu is a monster and my temps have stayed nice and cool. Only things I say could be better is 64GB of ram rather than 32. I could probably add another ram stick or two, but I’m not sure if it’s easily upgradable. The other thing I think could be better is if it had 4TB rather than 2TB but that’s not really an issue because I can easily add another 2TB or even more if needed.

The programs I use run so much better with this laptop. I us a lot of programs for work that it was dragging down the speed of uploads and downloads. The ASUS ROG Strix makes it so much quicker that I can complete work at a faster rate than on a normal laptop. Only issue was finding a laptop bag that fit it.

Wow. Just, wow. The ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 delivers an unparalleled laptop experience. The 18-inch display is absolutely stunning – vibrant colors, smooth refresh rates, and an incredible amount of screen real estate. Beyond the visuals, the raw power under the hood handles everything I throw at it with ease. It's an investment, but one that truly pays off in performance and immersion.

I went in looking for a power house of a laptop that I would have no issues with, this laptop is just that. I play games on maxed out settings and runs everything better then smooth. It is pricey but more than worth the price in my opinion. 10/10 would do again.

Excellent, runs everything well. Got it to play total war with some rad mods and it kills it.

The laptop arrived on time and in perfect condition. Performance is great, design is sleek, and packaging was very secure. I’m very satisfied and definitely recommend this seller

It's been only a few months, but so far the laptop has performed smoothly. I use design softwares like CAD and Sketchup and my son uses it for playing with Roblox, Scratch and any other game he finds on Steam, and no complains from him either.

Laptop is very nice don’t regret it at all, it’s strong at anything you throw at it, only problem I’m having is the cpu it get very hot like a little bit above normal cpu temps which causes bottle necking sometimes even with a laptop cooling pad. That’s the only reason this is 4 stars

This thing is an absolute monster! Pyhsically and performance wise! I was afraid that it wouldn't keep up as well as the 7940hs/4090 G14 it replaced, but wow, does it. I've seen framerates rise across the board, but where it really shines is in CPU heavy tasks... and boy does it shine! Very happy!

I was very satisfied with the purchase, everything was done. I was very satisfied with the purchase, everything was done quickly and very professionally. I was very satisfied with the purchase, everything was done quickly and very professionally.

Screen quality is good, overall performance is excellent in my opinion, good for professional and gaming use. Definitely worth the investment.

It is super fast, crystal clear picture with tons of storage. I was just going to use it for school, but it has so much room I loaded tons of games on it. It still handles it like they are nothing. I love this computer.
