AMD's new range of Zen 4 mobile chips are the finest number crunchers you'll find in a gaming laptop. That makes this Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 one of the most powerful gaming laptops I've ever tested. But some of the shine has been taken off because I can't shake the feeling AMD machines still seem to be tier-two in the eyes of their makers.
In fairness, you do still get these new AMD chips in the excellent Zephyrus G14 machines, which haven't just been relegated into the less popular form factors.
