Rog 4080 Laptop

I downgraded from a 4090 to a ROG Strix 4080 super because it's such a beautiful card and well crafted. It's the prettiest white card on the market. The price was steep but I was willing to pay for the best. Quiet and cool. Amazing temps and Asus managed to get the coil whine under control for the most part compared to my other Asus Tuf 4090 and other Strix 4080's. I wish I could afford the white 4090 Strix. I love Asus SO much.

I had many opportunities to buy other graphics cards at cheaper prices than the ROG Strix 4080 but I couldn't deny the quality and decided to pay a little extra for something I truly like. Al though the price wasn't much more than the average 4080 on the market, it was worth spending a little extra for the raw power and amazing asus aesthetic.

works great with Asus ROG laptop

Laptop fits my ASUS ROG. that's it's primary task

I have been waiting for the new Asus 4080 laptops for a while now. I keep checking where they have in stock daily and finally on 03/08 I hit the jackpot and ordered right away on B&H when it became available. Next thing I knew I am one of the few who are able to get my hands on the brand new Asus Strix Scar 16 2023. This little bad boy is a beast, the RGB is amazing as usual; better than razor blade ofc. The new cooling design is phenomenal, the cooling is significantly improved. As usual when I get my hands on the new laptop I take it apart and replace the stock liquid paste to carbon paste for extreme cooling performance. I ran Mextro Exodus on Extreme at 75 Degrees F on CPU AND 65 Degrees F on GPU. I ran COD on high with CPU 80 Degrees F and GPU 65 Degrees F. Amazing performance with the new RTX 4080 card combining the 32GB DDR5 with the new Intel i9 chip. This bad boy runs every game I have on hand on extreme or ultra setting with ease. The refresh rate on the laptop screen itself is amazing at 240hz but I still use my 30inch curved 2k 200hz monitor. Let's all be honest, you will never need to run a game at 140 FPS. I can get a stable 160 FPS with extreme or ultra settings with DLSS on. This is the upgrade I have been waiting for since my Asus 2080ti laptop, not some 3080 with no improvement.

I had bought a different 4080 laptop and it sounded like a jet. The other had bad coil whine. This laptop is quiet and no coil whine. The build quality is very good. Also the screen is amazing. In Cyberpunk I put on DLSS and turn on ray tracing. I managed to get 120 fps on the benchmark.

I bought this laptop a few months ago but i respectively held off for the review in order to test it out and see exactly how it performs. As a youtuber i can tell you this laptop is A1 for the price considering what you are getting with an RTX 4080 and i7 13700. This thing is lightening fast and has had zero issues with gaming as far as performance, it is simply a dominant beast even when recording and RTX maxed out. this is my 3rd gaming laptop so i am experienced in knowing what is good and what isn't, and i can say that as long as you know your pc gaming stuff, this laptop is an easy 20 out of 10, yes twenty out of ten! If you wish to simply play the latest titles with the highest RTX settings for the next 3 years, i'd say to HIGHLY invest in this laptop as it has a nice look and beyond solid performance! Like i said, know your gaming pc stuff as far as how to set the pc up and where you'd like things such as the battery life and what not; and you'll be more than golden. The last reviewer probably wasn't the most tech savy, this pc is a 5 star easy and with a 12gb rtx 4080, it destroys ANY and all elite pc titles today as of this review and i'm easily sure in the next 3 years as well, expect the to play on highest rtx settings easy from 2024-2027 easy!!

Powerful laptop, not too big or too small. 4080+13900k makes gaming a breeze. 240hz screen is great, power brick could be smaller but it is what it is.

Heavy,sturdy unit ..( just ) Holds my 17 ASUS ROG laptop well ... I still sandbag the back leg for good measure. sliding mouse tray small but functional ...For the price this is well worth it .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my Asus Rog G16 laptop and it has been amazing. Fast response when transferring data and playing games. Love it!!!
