ROG Strix Scar 15 (2020) Gaming Laptop, 15.6” 300Hz FHD IPS Type, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super, Intel Core i9-10980HK, 32GB DDR4, 2TB RAID 0 PCIe SSD, Per-Key RGB, Windows 10 Pro, G532LWS-XS99

I bought this laptop for sheer hardcore gaming. The RTX 2070 SUPER paired with the i7-10850h gives amazing performance with good cooling for the specs. My GPU usually hangs around 72⁰ while the CPU gets more toasty, at about 84⁰. I haven't noticed any thermal throttling yet, so that's a plus. The build quality is pretty good, metal lid, hard plastic interior. Doesn't feel cheap. I would recommend this for anyone who has the money over other branded laptops with similar specs.

The audio jack stopped working. I only purchased this laptop 3-4 moths ago. To make a long story short, Asus support had me do everything from reinstalling drivers to factory resetting the laptop and nothing worked. The only option they gave me is to send it in for a minimum of 2 weeks plus shipping. Not really an option as I use this for school and work as well. So I'm stuck with a broken laptop and there is nothing I can do about it as Asus has exactly ZERO authorized repair centers. I cant even return it at this point. As far as performance goes, the laptop's thermals are straight garbage and throttles under moderate load. Dont get baited by the specs

Awesome machine. Great laptop for the money. Especially the 2020 model. Mine is the 2070s with 1tb ssd and it does not get hot at all. Very surprised with how quiet the fans are and how little heat it puts out. My only complaint is the speakers are weak.

After over 10 years of using ASUS Motherboards, components, laptops, and routers, my trust in ASUS is at an end. On July 3rd 2021 I shipped this unit (purchased 12/20/2020) to ASUS for repair under. This was the first time I have ever had to send in an ASUS product for repair. After a little over 2 weeks in their hands they claimed to have sent it back but it never arrived. It took two months of calls and emails to finally get them to send a replacement, and that only happened after endless calls and emails to FedEx myself because ASUS refused to actually take any action beyond simply looking at tracking information. Responses to emails sent to ASUS took several days each time. At one point I was promised a brand new replacement would be sent, but they sent a refurb ; so I get a used product that I have no way of knowing how it was used/treated by the whoever originally had it or why it ended up as a unit available to sent as a replacement to another customer. When all is said and done, I feel ASUS has grown out of touch and no longer cares about it's customers so after somewhere between 10-15 years of almost exclusively buying ASUS when I was purchases an item that ASUS makes I am done, I will not be buying ASUS again.

Just realized that my laptop doesn't have a web cam. Um $2,000 for a laptop and there's no webcam? Asus you are slacking. But it's still working 8 months later

Laptop is as advertised. I bought it at Prime Day Price and well worth the money. Battery life is very limited if playing a game but all the reviews mentioned that so I was aware before purchase.

Easy setup with the provided tools. Performance is even faster than I expected, reboots only take 35 seconds making the initial installs really quick. Graphic quality is amazing with NVIDIA GeForce Experience making configuring game settings simple. There is some fan noise when they kick up to full speed but it is easy to get used to. This is my 3rd Asus computer, I highly recommend them!

Little dent on back. Effects nothing. Works great. High end. I have no issues. I take care of my equipment well. Backlighting works correctly and looks good. 10 months in, still going strong. It’s not fragile, or built poorly. Either those people who rate it poorly due to it breaking don’t know how to take care of their stuff properly, or the deliveries were messed up.

Wanted this laptop for a vm experiment and to run some rtx games; the rtx games ran great could be a little smoother but again it’s a laptop. The fans get loud when running games and the body gets hot so a cooling stand is recommended also a head set so you don’t hear the fans. Can handle audio and some video editing but nothing extreme.

This laptop is an amazing beast. It can run basically all games on high settings with no problem and it’s perfect and more than powerful for everyday use.

The computer is just what I wanted. It takes short time to turn it on. In general it has good specifications but can be a little bit heavy if you need to carry it often. I usually just use it at home, so it's perfect.

Great laptop

I bought this laptop 2 years ago and since last year I've been getting blue screen all the time. I know it is not overheating because I also installed an external fan that sucks the air out and monitors its temperature. I got a new SSD and still have the same problems as before. I'm not even using for gaming, it happens when I work with spreadsheets too, its insane. My previous laptop from LG took me 10 years to cause me any stress and Asus couldn't last 2 years. Now after the warranty I only have a pretty expensive piece of crap. THANK YOU ASUS!
