Video Description
With the ROG Scar 16, Asus has scaled down the already excellent 18" version into a much more portable form, all while maintaining the same "clean" design, fantastic Mini-LED display, great port selection, and impressive performance. However, there is also the Strix G16, which features a standard IPS panel but generally shares the same qualities. In its RTX 5080 configuration, it once again raises the value question compared to RTX 5090 laptops.
