Asus ROG Strix Scar

Forged for champions, the 2025 ROG Strix SCAR unites an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX with an NVIDIA RTX 5090 Laptop GPU inside a matte, mini-LED canvas available in 16-inch or 18-inch proportions. Every surface is finished in stealth black, the magnesium-aluminum frame meets MIL-STD-810H resilience, and tool-free latches invite instant access to memory and storage—engineering that respects both aesthetics and ambition.
A 16:10 QHD+ mini-LED panel radiates 1100 nits, 100 % DCI-P3 color and 2000-zone local dimming, while its 240 Hz refresh partners with G-SYNC to deliver fluid, tear-free motion. Factory-calibrated Delta-E < 1 accuracy grants creators HDR reference quality, and a hardware MUX switch ensures every frame travels the fastest possible path from GPU to glass.
Vapor-chamber cooling, tri-fan architecture and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal sustain peak clock speeds in near silence, shifting from 35 dB for focused work to 52 dB for record-setting overclocks. Per-key opti-mechanical switches respond in 0.2 ms, a glass-topped touchpad expands to 150 × 90 mm, and an embedded Keystone instantly recalls personal lighting, fan and performance profiles the moment you appear.
Despite desktop-class power, the SCAR remains under 28 mm thin and travels with a 90 Wh battery that delivers up to six hours of playback, recharging 50 % in thirty minutes via the bundled 380 W GaN adapter. Thunderbolt 5, HDMI 2.1, Wi-Fi 7 and a 1080p IR camera keep you connected, creative and ready to broadcast—whether you are in the arena, the studio or anywhere ambition calls.
