Last year's Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 wowed us in testing, posting some blitzing benchmark results while packing a massive 18-inch form factor to truly take over the desktop. 2024's iteration sits a little differently. The newer model has seen few upgrades, the biggest being the addition of Asus's Nebula HDR Mini LED display up top. Minor alterations include Intel's newer 14th generation i9 processor and some design switch ups, but overall this is an iteration on last year's model. With some performance dips it might not be the best buy for those chasing framerates, but that screen could still sway anyone upgrading to 18-inches this year.
I took the 2024 Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 out for a spin, using the machine exclusively for one week and then alongside the new Zephyrus G14 for another, to see exactly where the latest beast sits among the best gaming laptops on the market.
