I purchased this laptop a couple days ago and from a screen junkie perspective, with screen display and image quality being the highest deciding factor for a purchase for me personally, I can say that I have never seen such a beautiful display on a computer before. I am more impressed with this display than the $5000 apple XDR display. I cannot describe how great the screen is. Highly recommend

Are you insane? The screen is awful when in HDR mode, there is ghosting on the moving image, you can see halo's around everything... and when you compare it to an OLED, you realise it's showing you a very dishonest image. The 'dimming zones' thing is a real scam, there needs to be 4000-8000 of these 'zones' before it can be used as a HDR screen. You can disable the 'multi-zone lighting effect', but then you don't have HDR. I am returning my unit for a Lenovo Legion Pro 7, long time Asus fan, but this experience, especially with the awful 'Armoury Crate' software, I can not tolerate being ripped off so badly

I have been waiting for your review since your Reddit post, thanks for uploading!

Very informative and usefull review. Well covered all the key aspects. Thanks Sean

The blackout “issue” that is described is NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL, it happens when the display changes it refresh rate from 240 to 60Hz or viceversa, when you plug the AC adapter the energy mode changes to “turbo” and uses the fastest mode, and so on.. is not a problem and you can disable that behavior

Thanks !! What an amazing review.

I love mine, more power than I need but it does make a lot of noise and is super flashy, you might be better off with a new high end MacBook Pro but be ready to shell out $$$ for that. The Strix Scar 16 was built to be a compact gaming machine, no one will take you seriously if you show up at a meeting with this bad boy LOL But if you turn off the LEDs, its got enough power for you to do anything you need to on a laptop for about half the price of a Mac that still can not play games like you can on an ROG Strix Scar 16.

Bought this laptop, and its amazing. Gotta update all the drivers properly and setup all. Even without that it was running perfect just was missing options. Now after all night setting this up properly its amazing. Only 3 things could make this laptop perfection is to be aluminium not just the top, a better camera and more dimming zones. Also for gaming on high refresh rate please buy a good cooling pad otherwise the temps are gonna go very high.

I've also got coil whine coming from the screen when scrolling\dragging web page with video, but on Rog Duo 2022 :| Asus QC sucks

I'm having the exact same issues with the coil whine and black screens. The shop has sent me an RMA for sending it back, but I think that's just for a replacement and I fear that I'll get the exact same problem returned. Also I'm getting HORRIBLE "IPS Glow" "backlight bleed"

I have been trying to decide between this laptop and the Asus M16 4080 model with mini LED. Will you review the M16 at some point? And what will the performance difference be? If it's only 10% less for the M16 I think I could live with that. As always great content!

You definitely want to get the scar 16. The reason why is because this processor and this graphics card produced so much heat. You really don’t want a system that’s been designed for lower heat production retrofitted for the specs of the I-9 and 4080. Instead I think it would be a better idea to go with the system that was deliberately designed to withstand the heat. Don’t forget the power the 4080 gets in the system is 150 W versus the M 16 which only get 125 and that makes a big difference

I definitely get that buzzing sound coming from your mic lol

I have the 4090 model and the fans (mainly the left) emit a slight whistle noise that varies in pitch and volume depending on fan speed. This normal? Any one else getting this experience? Not sure if an exchange will be worth getting a unit with coil whine, dead pixels, etc.

Do your own research, look at the specs, read the reviews of people who own them. Make your own decision based on your specific needs. This is the best advice I can give you. I did the research for myself, money was not an issue for me so it came down to best performance (tech) best cooling, best display, best size, the ROG Strix Scar 16 checked all the boxes for me. Sure there are some things I had to sacrifice, like a metal enclosure, crappy armory crate software and BIOS that does not post if hardware goes south and a mouse that gets stuck occasionally on the enclosure LOL. It takes longer to boot than my MacBook Pro or even an old i5 laptop with SSD but it plays games better than I had expected coming form a PC desktop gaming setup. You can game on a laptop now with graphics still better than a PS5 and it is small enough to take with you (as long as you can plug that brick in LOL). The Strix Scar 16 is the best gaming laptop. In its size. In the world. Perhaps you do not require playing games that demand so much power and a cheaper MSI laptop may check your boxes, its all up to you. Don't let other people make the choice for you, make it yourself, like I said read, compare, choose, that is true freedom, exercise your freedom, that's MERICA. 😁

Diablo IV runs awesome, Cyberpunk has never looked so good, and RTX Minecraft is really awesome! Be ready for some fan noise, it is loud but this laptop packs a punch like none I have ever seen. The 330W brick gets really hot too so best to place it on its side for better cooling, I would not recommend putting in on your bed unless you need a bed warmer ;) The neat thing about the cooling system is if you hold it up when its hot you can feel the cool air being sucked into the bottom and the hot hair dryer output on the sides (makes a nice mouse warmer too) ;) First time I ever felt cool bottom of the laptop and lava coming out the sides, this new cooler system they have really works its butt off, I can tell you that! The liquid metal heatsink compound and 3 fans this laptop comes with, really work awesome!

Coil whine is not an issue, if it happens for RTX 4xxx, it means it'll happen on any laptop with that GPU series. That's due to high power of coils to get enough juice for the GPU. Nothing a laptop manufacturer can do about it. It's the same story as has been for desktop GPUs once they got powerful enough to create a hearable coil whine. Good thing is that noise is covered by fan noise once you get performance/turbo speeds. It really only sounds so clear when a microphone records it, not when you actually hear it live with your ears. Another example is PS5 when it got released, people uploaded videos with coil whine going crazy how the console is loud. I got the console and you know what? I can barely hear it or not at all. You need to be extra quiet, audio off and close enough to the console to hear it. While on a video it sounds like it's really loud and annoying. So I suggest to hear it live on your own and then decide, don't take YT videos under consideration. It's misleading af.

I've never understood why they chose that ugly default wallpaper

I just bought this laptop. it is not perfect, it has some flaws. screen is very bright it is good. but colors look little bit odd, cant explain. keyboard is awesome. it almost feels like mechanical. I didnot play game a lot but I tried it with New World. with high settings it produces 60fps. I think it is a little low. I am bit worried on this. but lets see. It is very heavy. build quality is good but when you take it up you need to be careful. it is not something you can hold with one hand for sure.

Screen's important for me for video editing. Is yours defective or its a normal product and its just how it is? Also have you tested for backlight bleed and is there any?

@@Teddyponsel2626 I did not have chance to do screen tests yet. I want to do it asap. colors are like pale/faded if that makes sense.

I also just bought one and my screen also looks a bit washed out... next to an asus proart desktop monitor there is a small but noticeable difference... haven't had any other issues with it so far tho. As a 'portable' workstation (it is definitely super heavy) I've found it mostly great, and my biggest gripe is that I'm really not a fan of the gamer design style...

@@Salamandella can it be due to the matte layer? Also, do you think the OLEDs on Asus zenbooks is better than their mini LEDs?

Totally annoying information LEDs under the display... wtf

Those glitches are a deal breaker. This laptop is hot garbage.

ASUS SCAM SOME Regions BUYER WITH MAIN COUNTRY SELLERS 😮😊

Asus laptops r hot, and with that price, they r still using plastic chasis. Feel cheap. My younger brother is Asus fan and he bought Strix scar 16 mean while I bought Alineware X16. ASUS, both GPU and CPU are sitting about 85C mean while my Alineware sitting about 65 for GPU but CPU is about 88 to 90.
