G835LW
Getting through the preliminary stuff and all the agreements where you sign your life away to everyone was a slow painful process. It took forever before I saw the Windows screen , which with W11 I'm not impressed.They have to make too much of a visual show rather than just giving a simple list. They are getting to where people can't read anymore. Some of the process just to get this far was "Wait, don't turn off or unplug your computer" and so you take a nap while waiting for this high performance computer to get the job done. Is there a hand crank on the side that I missed? Finally after all the duress of giving up your privacy you can finally install your first piece of software. You know, the one that's supposed to protect you. A little late for that. Now that I've spent hours getting this far to see how the computer will run. I'm worn out and it's bed time. Maybe tomorrow.

ROG Strix Scar 18
A long time ago I used all different mother manufactures and those boards only lasted less than two years. I tried Asus motherboards, I still have the first Asus motherboard running and it works great, 5 years ago I purchased two Asus laptops, I used mine for gaming and my wife used hers for family tree research and writing books, Both are very stable and very fast. I only have this new Rog Laptop a couple of days and it is very fast and stable, so far it loaded and runs the old and new games very fast with no lag. The graphics on this laptop is amazing. So far, I really like this laptop.

Very good laptop
The laptop is incredibly beautiful and eye-catching. I haven't fully adjusted it yet, but even with the little use I've had, I've noticed a huge difference compared to my previous Asus TUF Gaming laptop. The laptop's performance is undoubtedly amazing, and it's super efficient for my tasks and gaming.

GPU problem. Use recommended optimized
Its a beefy laptop one problem it has is if you want to play heavy games like arc raiders or any steam games make sure to have your GPU performance at optimized and not ultimate. If your gpu performance is at ultimate the laptop will freeze when you start playing a game. I found this out after reseting my BIOS and updating the BIOS, windows, asus drivers, and graphic drivers, nothing helped till I put the GPU under a stress test.

Dear Jojie, Thank you for your feedback. We do understand your disappointment with the lappop and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing system freeze playing Steam games while the GPU was set to Ultimate mode. To resolve this, ensure Windows, drivers, BIOS and games are up to date. Updates for this laptop are posted at: https://rog.asus.com/us/laptops/rog-strix/rog-strix-scar-18-2025/helpdesk_download/. Additionally, check if you are running the most current Armoury Crate utility software. The most current version is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/armoury%20crate/helpdesk_download/. While accessing cloud games, ensure the device has access to an established router and internet service is working properly since poor and unstable internet connection will affect system stability and performance. Furthermore, ensure the laptop's ventilation is free from obstruction for efficiently air flow to prevent overheating. Furthermore, disable " GPU accelerated rendering in web views" within Steam settings. If these steps were performed to no avail, please try to run a diagnostics or optimization test using the "MyASUS" utility software or application. If this is not pre-installed on the device, please download the application at the Microsoft Store. For details on how to use "My ASUS", please go to: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1041686/.

This thing is a BEAST
WoW what a BEAST!!! This thing rips through games (and benchmarks) like nothing I have ever seen. I upgraded the memory to 64G and added a Samsung 990 4tb NVME for my games. The Scar 18 blows through all my games!!! Even the poorly optimized ones (like Ark Ascended). I'm having soo much fun with this laptop and I'm glad I got it!!!
