It’s a speed machine, with 32GB of fast DDR5 RAM, a powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics card, and Intel’s Core i9 12900H processor built-in. Most of the focus was on making significant upgrades to its internals. The 2022 model of the Strix Scar 17 is merely a refresh, with very little of its exterior changed from its predecessors (it still doesn’t have a webcam, for example). Its thick chassis is partially translucent, with multi-colored LEDs shining through, and the enclosure for its display has an angular cut out - just because! You can even swap between a few included “armor caps” to give your laptop a different look from the back. I would say that it’s a device made explicitly for gamers, but I know plenty of gamers who wouldn’t want to be seen using this thing. Then, it can go completely in the opposite direction to make something like the Strix Scar 17, a powerful but far less refined laptop that starts at $1,999 and goes up from there. It can also make the Flow Z13, a thin gaming tablet with powerful specs inside.


It’s a company that can produce the elegant ROG Zephyrus G14 and G15 gaming laptops - up there with the best in the business in terms of design and thinness.
