I love a powerful gaming laptop with a gorgeous display. That’s what the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 (2024) offers, plain and simple. What I don’t like is the price.
For the gasping amount of $3,899, you get a big shiny gaming laptop with a 14th-gen Intel CPU as well as the strongest Nvidia GPU you’ll find. Top that off with a vibrant display and a bouncy keyboard. Those are all nice features, and you can argue that you get what you pay for, but that’s not the case here. The performance factors into the price, but I’ve seen better displays in cheaper laptops, and I’ve seen better battery life in similarly strong gaming rigs.
