ASUS announces the new ROG Strix SCAR 17 laptop

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) announces the availability of the new gaming laptop ROG Strix SCAR 17. By combining the powerful internal components with an updated Intelligent Cooling thermal solution, this laptop is ready to conquer esports professionals and gaming enthusiasts. The endless design customization options also allow anyone to make their laptop unique, and to fully immerse themselves in the gaming or streaming experience without distractions from the outside world.

Asus ROG Strix SCAR 17: CPU and GPU of the highest level

The gaming power of ROG Strix SCAR 17 is unleashed thanks to Windows 11 Home. The most aggressive gamers will be able to take on any foe with an AMD Ryzen 9 processor, paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU with an incredible 175W maximum TGP. A MUX Switch dedicated with NVIDIA Optimus support allows SCAR 17 to automatically prioritize gaming performance or battery life. No more long loading screens thanks to PCIe Gen4x4 solid-state storage. With the memoria DDR5 offering bandwidth never seen before, the SCAR 17 is ready to conquer any challenge.

Asus ROG Strix SCAR 17: Intelligent Cooling Solution

Powerful components require a robust cooling solution. The ROG SCAR 17 2023 uses liquid metal Conductonaut Extreme di Thermal Grizzly for both the CPU and GPU. A very high performance thermal interface material, Conductonaut Extreme is able to keep these components up to 15°C cooler than traditional thermal pastes.

When paired with a custom vapor chamber and four dedicated vents, this thermal solution transfers heat away from the system incredibly efficiently. ROG’s Intelligent Cooling™ technology allows critical components like the CPU and GPU to maintain higher boost frequencies for longer periods of time, keeping framerates smooth and consistent even during extended gaming sessions. Finally, the SCAR 17 also keeps noise under control: when it is in Performance mode, the car does not exceed 40dB.

Mind-blowing screen and audio

The Strix SCAR 17 has a panel ultraveloce for each scenario, to ensure that each user never misses a moment. This 17-incher offers a QHD panel. With a fast refresh rate and response time as low as 3ms, each IPS panel delivers stunning colors, Dolby Vision HDR and Adaptive-Sync for an amazing viewing and gaming experience.

Speakers with technology Dolby Atmos create an authentic soundstage for all games and environments. Hi-Res audio lets you listen to music in the same quality it was recorded. L’AI Noise Cancelation bi-directional processes incoming and outgoing audio to filter out background noise, ensuring your calls, chats and streams arrive without distraction or other noise.

Designed to win, built to win

ROG Strix laptops were designed for gamers who demand the very best in performance portable, as well as a spectacular design and infinite customization. Armory Crate’s performance modes allow users to choose between quiet, low-power processing and turbo gaming, or to manually adjust voltage and fans for a completely personalized experience.

Abundant RGB lighting adorns the chassis of the new ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 17, for a unique style full of personality. With Aura Sync, users can keep laptop lighting coordinated with peripherals, or even create complex lighting effects with Aura Creator.

Spacious keyboard layouts make gaming more comfortable, while customizable hotkeys control volume, microphone, or toggle performance modes to play on the fly. The glass touchpad, larger than previous models, ensures greater precision, while the anti-fingerprint coating on the chassis ensures a clean look, regardless of the user’s active lifestyle. The semi-transparent keyboard piano by Strix SCAR combines the sporty design with a new customizable Armor Cap design that allows users to create their own style.
