Experience Desktop-Grade Gaming Performance

The new ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G635L) and SCAR 18 (G835L) are built for gamers who demand top-tier performance. Their Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU laptop, featuring 24 cores and 24 threads, delivering exceptional processing power for multitasking, gaming, and content creation.

But what good is top-tier performance if it's displayed on a subpar screen? Thankfully, the ROG Strix SCAR 16 and 18 come equipped with stunning 2.5K Nebula HDR Mini-LED displays, ensuring seamless visuals with no bottlenecks. These panels boast a blazing 240Hz refresh rate and a 3ms response time, delivering ultra-smooth gameplay and sharp details for competitive edge.

Uncompromised Power with Intelligent Battery Management

Battery life has long been a challenge for gaming laptops, but the ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G635L) and SCAR 18 (G835L18) tackle this head-on with massive 90Whr batteries. Thanks to Nvidia Optimus, you can maximize efficiency by using the MUX switch to disable the dedicated GPU when it's not needed, relying solely on the integrated graphics for everyday tasks like web browsing, document editing, and multitasking. 

This intelligent power management ensures extended usage without compromising performance. Additionally, while the SCAR series comes with a powerful 380W AC adapter for peak gaming performance, it also supports USB Type-C charging with up to 100W  ideal for on-the-go productivity, though not recommended for gaming.

Say Goodbye to Thermal Throttling

The 2025 ROG Strix SCAR 16 and SCAR 18 take cooling to the next level, ensuring peak performance without compromise. Designed with precision, its revamped cooling system efficiently dissipates heat while keeping your hands cool during intense gaming sessions. We've relocated all exhaust vents to the rear hinge, directing warm air away from your mousing hand. 

Meanwhile, strategically placed air intakes on the sides and bottom, along with airflow through the keyboard deck, maintain a comfortable temperature across the palm rest and key areas. This advanced system integrates an end-to-end vapor chamber, a sandwiched heatsink, Tri-Fan Technology, and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on both the CPU and GPU. The result? Lower noise levels in Turbo Mode compared to the previous generation, improved thermal efficiency, and a gaming experience that remains smooth, responsive, and comfortable no matter how demanding the action gets.
