ASUS ROG Strix SCAR II Gaming Laptop, 17.3” 144Hz IPS-Type FHD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 8GB, Intel Core i7-8750H CPU, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD + 1TB SSHD, RGB KB, Windows 10 - GL704GW-DS76

Pros: - Seamless performance for gaming - Great display - Good audio quality through speakers - Lightweight, not bulky (compared to my previous ASUS ROG laptops)

Cons: - Even on the lower end of graphics settings, the fans are loud and sound like an aircraft getting ready to lift off

Overall Review: If you don't mind the loud fans, it's a solid gaming machine. Settings need to be tweaked in order to play games when it's not plugged in or things get choppy, but that's pretty typical for gaming laptops from my understanding. Less intensive games run fine on the battery without adjustment. I had decided to go with a gaming laptop as opposed to a desktop so I could have something portable, as my medical condition sometimes has me stuck in bed or the hospital and so far this laptop has served its purpose very well. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a reliable machine for gaming on the go!

Pros: Plenty of storage

Cons: -The RTX 2070 didn't perform as well as I've hoped, graphics weren't on par with what I expected for the card, -System runs hot without overclocking, I have to isolate the AC Adapter to avoid burning the table/desk top. -The 1TB SSHD hard drive gave out in less than a year; the laptop wouldn't run until the drive was replaced. -Bought a replacement gaming laptop much cheaper that performed much better overall even outperforming the graphics card (Preditor Helios 300 15,6" with GTX 1660TI) -Plan to avoid ASUS for future gaming laptops.

Overall Review: Try another brand like Acer, it's cheaper and outperforms the ASUS.

Pros: Its sleek smooth and runs amazing , I have no complaints .

Overall Review: Great lap top built sturdy, and if you gameing it's not a bad lap top to pick up I'm in love with mine.

Pros: This laptop is exactly as described and a powerhouse. I'm able to push everything on ultra without it missing a beat. The laptop looks fantastic and is much thinner than you'd expect for the hardware it has. The screen is exceedingly crisp and sharp. I normally have a larger monitor setup so I can run dual screen but now I realize how bad my old monitor is and have no desire to use it.

Cons: Struggles with heat and fans can get loud The display has severe backlight bleed in numerous spots. This results in never getting a black screen and is very distracting when you are working with a dark background. This is my biggest con as it really takes away from the quality that the rest of the laptop has. Lack of RGB per key control for the keyboard. It only deals with zones. Pretty much every other laptop in this price range gives you full control.

Overall Review: For the price it is a great purchase. I would recommend this to others

Pros: when i think gaming laptop i think big loud power house. now this thing has a little weight to it but very slim an quiet. 144hz display ..... yeah thats nice also a big up grade from what i had.

Cons: havent owned long enough to find any yet.
