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!!!

The best laptop tech in 2025. Period.
I've owned 4 flagship laptops in the past 4 years, this by far has the best features: 1) The miniLED display in this beats OLED and Apple's MacBook pro's MiniLED for HDR content. 2) The easy to open bottom panel is the best feature your laptop can have. 3) I love using Thunderbolt 5 and gen 5 nvme with this. I also upgraded the laptop to 128GB ram!! 4) The anime vision led in the back panel looks so good along with 360° rgb strip!!

Rog Scar 18 inch
So far I really like this laptop. The Scar model display is very brilliant. My only complaint to date, is I cannot turn off the border lighting on the bottom without turning off all the lighting. Of course, than I cannot see the letters on the keyboard keys.
