22,000 graphic score in 16inch laptop is mind blowing 🤯 I understand its expensive but still its very impressive 🤯

These reviews have been so helpful! I decided on the Razer 18 based on your comparisons/spreadsheet/reviews, and I can't wait to get it. They finally released the config with the 13980HX and 64GB of RAM so I ordered it earlier today. Seeing all these models really gave me peace of mind this time

Best gaming laptops are expensive. Legion 7 used to be best laptop in build quality and performance but they degraded the quality. Now its not the best

This is the best gaming laptop you can get in my opinion along with the Duo 16 amazing displays

Sir you are criminally underrated.

A test showing how long you can keep the new laptops charged using a powerbank rather than the included brick would be a big help for people who want to use the laptop as a general laptop and carry it around without lugging the brick and cables about.

Thank you very much for your work. I was thinking of buying this laptop, but I have read several complaints from users, as well as reviews, that they have an excessive "Coil whine" problem, a very annoying electronic noise, I don't know if it's from the processor, graphics, coil,... .. Could you comment if you noticed anything during the analysis? Before buying, I want to make sure, because although it is a noise that can exist in equipment with this power, it seems that this year is too annoying. Many thanks for everything.

I wish gaming laptop manufacturers would offer cheaper models without the lightbars on them. I'd rather save $100 than have the lights, because in the end I'm looking at the display, not staring at the back of the laptop.

for your information guys ,I bought ROG Strix scar 16 4080 one week ago and now it has been sent to service center. Because after window update and asus bios update it's screen gone dark and hard reset didn't work and have to sent it to service center :)

Heads up.. Bios 307 is out..Throttlestop unlocked. Temps down from peak 97c to 88c after 3 hours of gaming. -180/125 UV

I got the RTX 4080 version from BH Photo and its one of the best at the price right now. I wanted to get the Blade 16 but went for SCAR 16 as the blade has some red flag for me. i.e the thermal issue while playing for long hours and touchpad being huge.

I really hate that angled chain stripe on the deck and lid. I'd imagine it's less noticeable than the product pics but I'm pretty sure it would still annoy me. If it didn't have that and did have a full size SD card reader and one nvme, I'd buy it.

One of the best review for Rog Scar 2023..

Anyone else have a high pitch whistle associated with the fans? Changes in pitch and volume deepending on fan speed. Debating if a return will be worth the risk of getting a unit with dead pixels or other issues. Not to mention they're always out of stock and it could take forever.

New bios out (307), now it can be undervolted with an 80mv offset!

Im buying the scar 16 with the 4080. How frequently should I get the liquid metal changed if ever, and if I do have to get it changed, is there a way to do it myself??

Hey Gizmo, In the Market going to buy one, Razer blade 16 or sacar 16 rtx 4090? Which one would you recommend?

Scar 16 vs gt77?

Just ordered it for 2450 euros im hyped!!

anyone have a written step by step on best undervolting settings for this laptop? have it on order, would be nice.

ASUS Scar 16 (2023) I wonder xmp can be enabled on the bios? even if 4800mhz ? so i can use 4800mhz 34cl stiks?

@GizmoSlipTech, can you check Scar 16 4090 coil whine issue after bios update? Has it been solved?

I have the scar 16 4080 and when in performance or turbo mode I have a high noise pitch in addition to the actual fan noise. Sounds bit like a half loud tea kettle. Is that normal? Does it go away with time? I don`t think its coil whine though, that's more prominent in silent mode. So I can basically switch between coil whine or tea kettle. I am so happy...

Just bought this laptop based on your review, however, running the same settings as you, with the exception of a newer BIOS and Nvidia drivers, and -80 undervolt, I can only get 2800 on cinebench r23. Cpu temp gets pegged at 95c with fans on max manual mode. Did I get a bad one? Worth exchanging for a new one?

Really stuck between the two. Love the blade 16 4090 build but why on earth did they give you either a 4k or 1080p. Awful choice. Love the Asus scar 16 4090, perfect screen, mini led with a 1440p display. But, that nasty cheap looking plastics that wraps around the machine, why Asus why.

I dont think 4 fans will make a difference in having a gpu 90 degrees and after the 4th fan it still would peak 90

Amazingly thorough review, really appreciate the dedication and time you are taking to review these new laptops. Any chance you can nab one of the newer Clevo models with a 4090 and give it a shot? A best of category by size at end of year would be an awesome video too.

Could you let me know whats the quieter machine between this and the blade 16 while gaming and in there equivalent balanced modes?

New Bios 307 undervolt no error -80mv work fine !!

hi when are you going to post video with throttlestop on this machine my thermals are too high and it gets thermal throttled

Unfortunately its the opposite in APAC countries like Singapore. Here there's only Scar 16 with IPS panel, without news for a Mini LED version, which is upsetting.

How can I change the storage from RAID 0 to non-RAID for easier upgrade / recovery in the future? Is it difficult to do so? Or should I just pick another laptop with non-RAID storage to make things easier?

Hy. How this top model 13980hx 4090 scar 16 miniled compared to top model razer blade 16 13950hx 4090 mini led with full performance twerking repasting if needed, all the undervolt, overclock power limit idk, tweaking to get the best performance? I heard that razer only pushes CPU up to 55w instead of 65 and also on performance much lower but the gpu on both is the full 175w, but still somehow the Asus performs better in only gu tests? How it is now than? What is the real world difference with all the tweaking to the max to get the best results on both? Also, what is the the score difference on batter and 100w pd USBC charging between the 2? And battery life with same brightness and refresh rate with native res 4k 120 on razer and QHD 120 on Asus if completely unplugged? Please help in every detail. Can't decide. Thanks in advance. Also the other laptop i am thinking is the x16 with max specs and 4090 egpu, and also the 14.5 inch new yoga pro 9i with 13905h and rtx 4070 on 140w usb-c charging. I'm also interested to find out the difference in x16 280w PSU vs 330w 4090 egpu vs 100wc charging vs battery vs Lenovo on battery, performance and battery life on all, and noise levels on manual max settings. Thanks in advance.

There are complains about terrible “coil whine” on Asus Laptops these days. Especially on Scar 18 and Scar 16 Rtx4090. I was planning to buy it, but you never mentioned about this sound, or I didn’t catch it. Any ideas from those user?

Hello which one is the best for solo gaming ( games like cyberpunk dead Space alan wake 2 etc .. ) : this one or the asus scar 17 with ryzen 7945 rtx 4090 and ips ? Thanks!

Great info. Do you know if the laptop would fit Dual Rank (2R) Ram? My Strix 15 does support 2R ram so I guess it shouldnt be a problem, but better to double check.

I want to have more knowledge about overclocking on Asus

super. Will I be able to buy it in Warsaw?

Will upgrading to a Kingston FURY Impact 2 x 32GB, 5600 MHz, DDR5 RAM, SO-DIMM be supported? Cheers

Asus Scar 16 VS Alienware M16? (4090) What to choose and why?

Asus Scar 16 reminds me with something :)

Is there a way to hide the webcam feed on this laptop? I don’t see a physical button to hide it.

I've upgraded the spec of my Asus, afterward it's used for my betta to watch KZfaq

Do you know of Asus fixed the HDR issue you mentioned?

hello this laptop has a blackout issue and coil wine sound issue are u expericing the same issue

Why do they not give a full size keyboard

I just got this - is XMP enabled by default or do I need to do it in bios?

Looking at the Blade 16 or this scar 16. what would you recommend.

This is mini led?

so what are the temps? just got mine, paid to have thermal paste replaced, got 100c on package and 99-100c on 4 of the p cores in timespy, also only got 19k, any tips? did i get screwed?

In england we pay 4090 price for a 4080 version of this laptop

Hello, I have a MSI Titan GT77 2023 laptop at home. I noticed that the mini led screen shows dark shadows if on the screen is white and black color. Is this a feature of all mini led panels or is it something that MSI can work on and possibly fix in an update? What about this Asus Strix Scar 16 mini led. Is the the same shadows? Can you compare shadows on both laptops?

my brother bought Asus Scar 16 for me, and I'm really so happy

what about the cpu temps while cinebench is running?

Battery life?

I am afraid of Liquid Metal Is there any risk of Liquid Metal leakage?

I have the scar 15 laptop, intel i9 / RTX 3070 Ti. Can you please help me, I need an expert. In armoury crate my GPU usage stays spiked up to ROG Boost OC while playing csgo which is a not demanding game. GPU temp in around 60-65C. I play in low settings, 4:3 res 1280x960 stretched. I know the GPU boost OC is a feature if this card however is this overclock necessary? should I disable it, if so how? should I be worried about having the Boost OC spiking constantly while gaming?

No 4k screen options...

Please, upload the cutdown version

Hi quick question, does the scar 16 support high frequency ram? Could I go out and buy a kit that's the same speed as the blade 16 for example? Thanks

not gamer and not a techy. I would save and get what I want. but! how long, realistically I can have this laptop. or is this something I have to replace within a couple of years or so.

While the performance difference between the 4080 and 4090 isn’t much right now. Do you think as new games and new engines come out the the 4090 will outperform the 4080 by a greater margin than we are seeing now?

It's actually cheap , you only pay $3600 for 4090. Normally you would pay $4090 without tax since it's Nvidia we're talking about

Asus Scar 16 is numer uno

Is the -80 mV undervolt working fine?

I'm looking for an insurance for my Asus Scar 16

staying with Razer Blade 16 4k 4090.

Mashalla

Costs more than a max and feels like a Compaq! Oh joy. Not.

So cheap in US...

To be honest it's a 4090 gpu on 1440p screen. It should be 4k screen atleast since 4090 are made for 8k gaming
