ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 Gaming Laptop Intel Core i9-13980HX 2.2GHz 32GB DDR5 RAM 2 TB M.2 SSD 18" WQXGA IPS 240Hz NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 16GB GDDR6 Graphics Windows 11 Home - G834JY-N6005W

To accommodate such powerful components, the Strix SCARs chassis and motherboard were both redesigned to accommodate our new full-width heatsink, while the copper fins were moved even closer to the exhaust vents for more efficient cooling. This unique heatsink is built from three different sections, surrounding the motherboard with densely packed fins for a total surface area of 174,183-195,509mm², up to 82.5% increase from the 2022 Strix SCAR series. This design maximizes the available pathing for hot air to escape the machine and drastically increases overall cooling. Finally, most gaming laptops have a dual fan cooling system, but the SCAR was able to push the performance envelope even further with the introduction of a third fan that helps keep the GPU and VRAM cool. Paired with seven heatpipes and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on both the CPU and GPU, the SCARs cooling system is a marvel of engineering.

The difference between victory and defeat can be separated by a single keystroke, so the SCAR has a professional esports-grade keyboard designed to secure the win. Built to last, the Strix SCAR's keyboard switches are rated to last over 20 million presses, and n-key rollover guarantees your system will never miss command even if youre pressing multiple keys at once. The SCAR has a full-sized keyboard, with dedicated media controls and dedicated hotkeys that are tuned for volume and Armoury Crate controls by default and can be customized for different functions or macros. And with per-key RGB and full Aura Sync customization, the SCAR will always have the looks to match your mood. Dolby Atmos-powered speakers include two tweeters and two downward firing woofers to create an authentic sound stage for your games. Hi-Res audio ensures you hear your music in the same quality it was recorded. Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation processes both incoming and outgoing audio to filter any errant background noises, making sure that your calls, chats and streams come through without distraction.
