i remember choosing my first gaming laptop with help of ur reviews! even tho i was not a gamer but because of lights and power i went for them. nowadays i only use macbook pro. build quality on these macs are really another world!! about this laptop ur reviewing i like the back and front LED panels. they look cool and placed in good spots.
Flawless explainations as always. Thanks for the review!
Thanks Harry!
Tx for the perfect review
Thanks, appreciate you watching it 😀👍
Great review! Thanks!
Nice review!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the review as always, it seems like performance has not increased much over last year, which is to be expected as only the CPU was updated.
I really wished that I had waited just a year to buy a scar model. I bought my ROG Scar 16 with the 1048 zone mini LED screen last year instead of the Scar 18. What held me back from getting the Scar 18 was it not having a mini led screen. Now that it has a Mini-LED screen this year AND has double the dimming zones as the Scar 16 last year, I feel so left out haha!
If I can get my hands on the new Scar 16 panel with double the dimming zones, I will likely attempt to install the new panel on my current 2023 model.
How is the performance so far in 1 year of usage, can you share experiences like any issues or how good gaming is in long term.. i have booked strix scar 16 2024 model with 4080, so need more information
@@OnlyVegOptions It's my daily driver that replaced my desktop and previous laptop. I use it for college classes and gaming, and so far it has been an absolute pleasure.
The screen is amazingly fast, vibrant, and so lifelike. If feels like the lighting in games just are popping out of the screen. Absolutely fantastic for HDR, it looks miles better than my Odyssey G7. There is blooming, but you can turn of local dimming for casual use in the armory crate app. I've been digging the RTX HDR feature and have been absolutely spoiled by the amazing HDR capabilities.
The keyboard and trackpad are comfortable to use for browsing and typing out word docs. The speakers sound great once I did some EQ within the Dolby Atmos app.
Battery life isn't fantastic but it lasts around 4-5 hours and I carry around a power bank that acts like a backup battery. It's enough to get me through a day of lectures.
I was worried that the plastic frame would make it feel cheap, but the finish on the deck is a sort of soft touch (not rubberized) coating that feels really nice and the chassis itself is pretty rigid (except for the lid, it flexes a bit).
The serviceability is pretty good, most parts are accessible. I did replace the liquid metal with PTM7950 and the stock thermal putty with TG-PP10 on the VRMs and VRAM. I undervolted the CPU by 125mV and was able to achieve around 33k on Cinebench R23 with max fans. I was able to undervolt it to -155mV and got around 34.6k but I blue screened often. Still pretty insane results imo.
Gpu temps are around 84c and CPU around 90c while gaming. On performance, the GPU wattage was around 135-140w. On turbo, it was around 160-175w. Super heavy loads can max out the throttle limit on both the CPU and GPU (87c on GPU and 95c on CPU), but they did maintain decent clock speeds.
Overall, it's a well thought-out laptop that feels like it will stay relevant for a while to come, especially since it has a 4080 mobile which supports frame gen and a 1440p 240hz mini led display that looks unbelievably amazing.

Good review I’m a huge fan of the channel I have the 2023 strix G18 with RTX4080 and i9 13980HX cpu (both GPU and CPU have Liquid Metal) and it’s a beast I returned the 4090 because it wasn’t worth the extra $1500 over the RTX4080(sweet spot for price to performance ) for a few changes and 10-12% more performance over the 4080.
Thanks, glad you like my channel! Yes, I agree 100% with what you said. I have advised many to skip the 4090 unless you see it on sale. On this machine the 4090 is 30% more expensive for a 10% gain? No thanks!
have the exact same model, got an open box from best buy for 2000, its amazing i tweaked a couple of things in the bios, changed thermal pads and liquid metal for a paste that i use on my laptops even better than the liquid metal. Its a beast ! Also make sure you change the ram for 5600 32gb, dramatically improves system stability where before i was getting hickups while performing benchmarks

It's good but I'll be keeping my Rog Scar 18 2023 for around 3-4 years before upgrading.
Makes sense to me :)
How is your experience with 13th Gen CPU so far?
I'm still debating between this and the MSI Titan 18. Every other video I see about either one calls each "THE BEST"
From other reviews it seems that the 7945HX3D slightly outperforms it in both multicore and games overall.
Yeah. I would love to try one with that CPU
Please review the newly launched MSI Raider GE78HX V14 RTX 4090. Thank you.
I was a fan of the 13th Gen. I'll see what I can do 👍
@@OWNORDISOWN Thank you, appreciate it. I notice currently there isn't not much video on the latest V14 model.
@@pigtorlaiill have to see if I can get it 👍
Please answer this if you have time. Does the ROG Strix Scar 18 have that rubberized coating on the inside of laptop? Many Dell computers and Alienware computers have that soft touch rubberized coating that scratches off after a few years. Some computers also have this rubberized coating on the keys. I called ASUS and they couldn't tell me if the computer had that rubberized coating on the computer where you rest your palms when typing.
no rubberized coating. I owned the 4080 model.
No rubberized coating. I have the 4090 model
@@danieljones2016your usage view so far with your model
Is 62.4 Celsius for the ac adapter/power supply normal while gaming?
Another great review, Stephen. I just wish you didn't call the GPUs the same as the desktop versions.
Thanks Sergei. I do mention the wattage so it's clear it's not the desktop varient....and I think the vast majority of us know that it's not the desktop version in the laptop
@@OWNORDISOWN Pascal and Turing were also different on wattage but those were the same GPUs. Please don't let Nvidia get away with this deceptive naming.
@@OWNORDISOWNActually you'd be surprised how many people still associate and will do because laptop and desktop gpu's use the same moniker. The tdp will still not clear up the confusion.
I plan on getting the somewhat new Alienware M18 R2 laptop with a 4090, I9 INTEL Processor, 64gb of ram, 16 GB of graphical memory and with a mouse, mousepad and the computer it'll be almost 4k. Should I get it? I've read conflicting opinions some people say that Alienware is terrible other than their laptops which are supposedly decent, others say everything they make is garbage and to get a Razer or ASUS but the ASUS from what I've found doesn't have the same amount of RAM as the Alienware
They made a good job, but for powerful laptops I will seek something chonky, like sager/clevo. 3 fans is good, but still not enough.
It's a shame we can no longer get mxm cards. This is what laptops should be doing, and make them affordable so we can swap out a GPU like we do on desktops. I remember Hidevolution was going to charge me $2k for an Rtx 2080 and take out my 1080. Still, my Clevo is still rocking it. It's a workhorse for sure.
@@OWNORDISOWN agree on every word, Steven.
I am confused between getting this laptop or the Legion pro 7i Gen 9, but I feel like I am leaning more towards this laptop because of the 18' screen and the color accuracy. I have a few questions: 1-What's your impressions on the overall build quality?. 2- I conduct lots of online meetings so I was wondering if the webcam looks good on softwares like Zoom or Microsoft meetings. 3- I don't usually move around with my laptop, but I may require to bring it to an office meeting every couple of weeks or so, also is the weight of the laptop tolerable to walk around with or will I require a trolley bag?. 4- Lastly, which laptop would you recommend? this one or the Legion pro 7i Gen 9?
Hi, first, I would like to thank you for watching my video. For a couple of years I used the Legion 5 pro and then a legion 7. I loved both, although the track pads rattled and actually failed on the 5 pro. But Lenovo has excellent warranty, they sent a tech to my house and fixed it. Even after it expires it is cheap to do an extended warranty so that alone is worth a lot in my opinion.
I've not had to deal with Asus on any laptop repairs, I only owned one for any period of time and didn't have any issues. In testing I have had issues with their fans clicking but this scar 18 was flawless.
When I had the 16" 16x10 Legion panel I was singing it's praises. They were the first with this aspect ratio and I loved it. I now have a 17" 16x10 panel on my Tracer Vii and I must admit I would not go back to 16", and to be honest I have tied three 18" 16x10 panels and I really like the size. This one on the Asus Strix Scar 18 I would say is the best.
The one on the Titan 18HX which I have just tested was nice, it has a higher resolution but if gaming is your focus I prefer this 240Hz over the 120 Hz on that.
So yeah, i do like the 18" better than the 16".
The difference in weight is negligible. Half pound at most, plus Legion always use a larger power brick so that will offset that somewhat. At just over 6.5 lbs the Asus is very portable for its size.
I thought the Webcam was 1080p and the mic was fine when I tested it in my stream. I thought it was fine. Lenovo usually has better cameras and mics though, but you can always buy an external one if you find it lacking.
In sure it will be just as good in zoom or teams.
Looking at the pricing. The Legion is listed at $3640, so $260 lower than the Asus. Plus Lenovo has coupons for students, military etc.
Hidevolution will give you $50 off if you mention my channel (ask Ted) , or if you can find it at Gentechpc there is no sales tax if you don't live in California (talk with Ken). They also often have a 3% code for cash purchases.
One concern I have on the Legion is the longevity of the paste. I had to repaste my Legion 7 and I know others had too within a year.
The build quality on the Asus is not as nice as the Lenovo, but there weren't any creaks or flex and the chassis was very cool to the touch. More so than any legion I have used.
Thanks for such detailed comparison
And regarding coil whine, I feel that it happen with Asus much more often than with Lenovo. Is your scar 18 affected by it much?
@@alexs1852you are welcome. No, this unit had no coil wine or any issues at all, apart from that stuttering in Hogwarts which is common with these 32 thread CPUs . I liked how easy it was to change settings in there software too, all I one place. Legion is the same but MSI has it all over the place.
@@OWNORDISOWNThanks so much for your thorough explanation, I really appreciate it. From what I've seen across different manufacturers, I realize there isn't a perfect laptop. However, the display panel on the Scar 18 is really pushing me in that direction, even though I might need to add a skin on the whole laptop to make it look a bit more professional for meetings. Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to your next videos!
@@boxheadsagaThanks! My buddy Chris (he was on the livestream) runs m2skins, he might be able to help you out on a skin.
Hey I noticed when you turned off e cores your p cores was only set to 5? Did you do that purposely?
Love this laptop
I liked it too. Was very impressed how cool the chassis was. No sweaty palms on this one 👍
I'm planning to buy this laptop but the price is very tough and i need detailed info and experts opinion for this scar 18 and iwant to have future proof laptops. But im scared because they said nvidia will release 50 series cards next year, should i buy this or just wait next year for new 50 series cards? Thanks and subs!
get the strix g18 with a 4080 and put in 32gb ddr5600 ram and your set, can get an open box for 2g at best buy
This laptop is amazing for its size and weight. Runs 1440p games in max settings with the RTX4090 mobile graphics. If money is an issue and you can wait one more year then I would wait till 2025 when the RTX 4090 mobile chips will be out. The screen is amazing and looks almost as good as my OLED tv.
Buy this when they release the 50 series laptops b/c the price will be discounted
My lenovo légion went wrong after 1.5 years, and I changed tó this, very good
Nice review stephen. You actually made a review rather than an AD. Because you specifically clarified that panel coating. More useful info than any other techtuber.
I like how this big 18' premium laptop cools the same wattage as a thinner and lighter 16' 175w 4080/4090 laptops. Either asus is incapable of cooling more wattage than thinner laptops or nvidia is so afraid of their mobile gpu's stability and quality that they have to limit the wattages. Neither is a good reason. I'd love to hear these companies explanation.
The laptop is good, but once again, the GPU lets it down HARD. This 4090m is more like a 4070ti super at best. You don't even get a real desktop 4090 at this price point.
Thanks Eric. Yes, after playing around with the laptop more after the stream I decided it deserved to have it's own review. I didn't write a script, nor did I shoot lots of B-roll. That saved a bunch of time.
It's about time that Nvidia throws more watts at these GPUs!
@@OWNORDISOWN Impressive if done without script.
Indeed. More wattage and more honest naming. AND letting OEM's push laptops. I am quite sure not many of these ultra expensive laptops get sold, so might as well let OEM's sell proper desktop 4090's.
Stephen, can you cover nvidia's attitude change since pascal? During pascal nvidia was interested in pushing laptops to the edge of performance. They somewhat kept it up with turing and then kept lowering it with ampere and lovelace.
You're comparing apples to oranges. You can't move a desktop around. The fact these laptops are as (or more) powerful than full-blown Nvidia 3 series desktops is remarkable. Alongside a class leading display instead of a monitor.
@@fmulleady During the gtx 1000 series, the gtx 1080 went upto 200w in a clevo laptop. Literally more than the 180w desktop 1080 and as a result beat it in perf. There were also sli gtx 1080 laptops with an oc'd i7 and that laptop had to be designed to cool 350w+ of power.
During rtx 2000 we had 200w rtx 2080/su'er laptops. And, the 200w rtx 6000 quadro, basically a 2080ti with extra cores and 24gb of vram.
So no, the comparison is apt given the history of laptop cooling.
@@siyzerixthe gaming & creator laptops are more efficient than the desktops. Some are even delivering workable battery life off the mains. These Nvidia 4 series mobile cards mostly exceed the graphics performance of the 30 series desktop cards. The main issue are the exorbitant prices but if people can wait for discounts rather than buying on release, it can be worthwhile.
Can you imagine a laptop drawing the same power as a desktop 4090? The improvements in visual fidelity and graphical performance on laptops has been pretty good overall.
I liked this laptop, but the plastic chassis has put me off especially for the price.....
Nice review as always, Stephen. 👍
Damn, that price point... even if I had plenty money, I wouldn't afford that because it is way too expensive for my taste. Laptops should be priced max at $2500 or 2500€. Anything over that, it's a big no.
They can flaunt on how good performance it offers and on how good cooling it offers... All is good except the price.
MAYBE I would buy it if they included MXM cards... yes, that's a pipe dream 😅
Honestly, those many cores... I don't think it is worth because even with hybrid architecture Intel hasn't done anything to improve at all (like battery life and something else). Look at the power of i9-14900KS... Sure, those laptops are probably "desktop replacement" but still...
Thanks Matej :) Yes, this and the crazy expensive Titan 18 HX are too much for me. Even if I had the money I would rather go on a nice holiday!
Will the new scar 17 be relased or is asus postponing this year
I suspect they will stick with the 16"and 18"
Man I really wish I didn't spend money on the alienware area 51m. It didn't deliver on its upgrade path and its so bulky too. I regret it so much. I could have bought one of these.
Yeah, i know what you mean. I think manufacturers should make laptops more upgradable and have affordable mxm GPUs and socketed CPUs, or even a CPU that can sit on a PCB that we can swap in and out. But they must make heaps of profits on these systems. I know that system integrators like Hidevolution don't make too much, so it's all on the OEM.
my concern about these laptops are the black bars on the sides when recording.
Yeah, it not ideal for that situation. You can just use OBS streamlabs and resize the image to fully fit the recording area but you will lose some of the screen of course.
Can you give a 240hz screen laptop sir I need a laptop ?
Love your videos but sorry it isn’t the fastest bought it and returned it due to the 2024 MSI Titan 18HX it sustains better speeds on both CPU and GPU than the scar
This and extremely expensive MSI Titan 18 HX are the two top gaming laptops money can buy in 2024.
if you go with SAGER, the same specs are cheaper
3 fans? Finally some thought poured on engineering.
I was impressed with the cooling for sure 👍
More moving parts, more chances for stuff to break
more moving parts = 3 fans? really lol@@nellatl
any liquid metal problem after long term usage? someone says they will malposition after some time, leakage to the motherboard

Why my asus rog scar 18 2024 with RTX 4090 still getting 27k multi score ? With turbo mode and under volt to 🙏 please guide me
What undervolt do you have? That is low score though. Is it thermally throttling? How many watts is it pulling?
Does it need cooling pad while intensive gaming?
My G18 rtx4080 doesn’t need a cooling pad just set in on the desk and game never had any issues . Gpu stays at 83c in turbo and cpu at 85c and in manual mode (max fan) Gpu stays at 79c
I had mine for 2 months, it was awesome laptop, than yesterday it started to burn inside just like that, sparks started to go out and smoke. It smelt like a gun powder and it died.

Love that machine but if you drop it it's over. Build quality should be alot better.
Certainly for the price, I agree 👍
How do you say this compares with the MSI Titan 18HX?
I will be mentioning them both in the Titan review but the Asus was faster. The Titan's 14900HX in CB R23 was running 126W to 140W and 95 deg C. The Asus was 145w to 172W and 93 deg C. The Titan was thermally throttling and power limit throttling. I did try a - 80mv I on the Titan and didn't see an improvement in its score, so I also tried the Imon tweak and it would not boot with the usual 50 slope and - 31999 offset. I tried a lower level but it was still throttling.
The GPU performance was similar, although I would say it was slightly worse.
The screen on the Titan seemed brighter to me but both are bright. Very bright. But the 120Hz on the Titan meant there was ghosting 8n my test, although I think you need ninja eyes to see it game play.
There is no Gsync on the Titan, although I thought it was OK as tearing was concerned.
Battery life, Titan got 3 hours 40 minutes, so 2 hours less than this Asus.
Build quality on the Titan is much better but fan noise is much more.
Speakers about the same.
Webcam was much worse on the Titan., as was the mic.
The Titan does have 3 m.2 slots and two of mine were in Raid.
For the price difference I would definitely get the Asus.
@@OWNORDISOWN awesome this definitely helped me a lot. I was contemplating which one to get.

The 4080 is a good value the 4090 is an absolute joke… 25% more for a 10-15% gain?
