Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 2025 – 素晴らしいですね!
The 2025 version of Asus’s fastest and most high-end ROG gaming laptop not only comes with the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 Arrow Lake HX CPU and Nvidia’s RTX 5090 laptop flagship but also boasts a completely new design and one of the best laptop displays on the market.
But it is also terribly expensive and relies on a mostly plastic chassis.
So, how high can the massive 18″ desktop replacement set the bar for the competition, or did we already review the best big gaming laptop of 2025?!

Hey guys, small correction:
In our noise samples, the clip labelled Blade 16, is of course the Scar 18! Sorry about that!
What about audio quality? We just heard Blade 16 and G14??
Havig beast of a machine and playing fortnite 😂😂😂
I really like the tool-less component access. Makes it so easy to clean out the fans & you can swap ssd's in and out so easily. If I'm editing on desktop or have certain files/games on one ssd & have to travel, I can just stick the desktop ssd in the laptop in like 1 minute, or vice versa. Kind of a niche scenario I guess, but it's sick that it's so accessible.
15:19 Blade 16 Speakers?
Not sure if I missed it but… what is the weight with and without the battery?
Die build quality is inferior mein fuhrer!
you guys and these infomercials are so full of shit.. real reviews are on reddit and this isn't a buy
The price is crazy!
3dMark is so outdated..
Anyway, this laptop name is ugly, design is ugly, fingerprints on 4k dollar machine is ugly, and the most imporrtant part-
400w device should be very niche, only for those who really need the performance above comfort and longevity
Screen is nice tho
i agree with you, I want a gamer laptop that looks minimalist/low profile (like dell, mac, surface)
make sure to include a decent camera shot of the keyboard layout in your videos. I am wondering what that weird left shift key is up to, has 2 split keys. Keyboard layouts are important to me
Asus : this year’s gaming laptop? Put the latest GPU with some extra RGB and call it a day
But Mister Asus, shouldn’t we put a decent webcam? It’s 2025 after all
A-sus: lol who cares, it’s for gamers, they’re too dumb
Here's an idea… why not get rid of the lid display and all the extras and instead put some speakers in it that weren't taken from a musical birthday card?
Why doesn't support 6400 mh on ram like they promise before?
I’m still a noob when it comes to laptops but what’s the fastest CPU for gaming ?
My issue on the tool-less and easy access, how the sellers and local dealers in my country deal with the warranty and their dreaded stickers.
Why is bro getting all the 2025 laptops before any other creator lol
I don't understand why you present so much benchmarks on "content creation". I understand that you are in that line of business yourselves, but how much of you audience? 1%?
For this price aluminium magnesium or carbon fiber should be a basic requirement
Wow lol; why even put a camera up top if it's going to be that bad? That is horrendous by 2010 standards, never mind 2025. Heck just eliminate the top bezel altogether on this puppy 🙂 and leave out the camera, if it's going to be that bad.
can we upgrade the ram to 6400 mhz ?
Too expensive for too little.
15:06, "TUBRO" 💪💪💪
Is it possible to turn off all the lighting effects? Honestly, I'm not a fan of them and don't understand why gaming laptops nowadays include so many lights. They can be quite distracting, especially in a dark room.As far as I know, this model uses liquid materials for cooling. I’m wondering if the heatsink has received any special treatment to prevent corrosion, and how long it’s expected to last.
havent you thought that being able to access so easily the ram n ssd comes with the risk that bad actors can do the same and u wont notice until its too late?
Best bet is to buy a 4090 laptop ex demo. I got one for £1850 from Italy, put some UK stickers on the keys. Im not paying £4000-£5000 for a 5090 with 10% more perf 💩
I prefer amd cpu, so i will wait until i have more of these to choose.
Next – HP omen max 16 and Lenovo legion 7i, please
That moment when all your attention on gorgeous Alienware m18 (watching the video from the same laptop) and boy, all the laptops are so CLEAN without any dust in your videos! How do you clean them?! I want to know your secret! And yes? AWm18 almost fully metallic from both sides, saw somewhere here was a dispute about plastic in expensive laptops.
PS bought Govee Smart Gaming Light Bars because of your videos! Thanks!
If i have 240hz display and i get 240fps but game only support 120fps so what happens?
Edition video on 2.5k display that's good as compared to 4k display?
the display is toled to support Dolby Vision. Can it be used in Davinci Resolve Studio for HDR / Dolby Vision monitoring too when the correct color profile is used? As its a bright Mini Led display
Pick one of these up at launch at micro center and couldn't be happier. Thing is an absolute beast and is overclocking very well. 6492 on steel nomad.
Whats the song used for tbe speaker test?
Can you please compare this Machine with m4 max??
plastics 4000-5000€.Really?
Razer blade 18 review 2025 when?
I'm not a fan of the intel CPU, an AI 9 395 with 128gb of shared memory would make it better in my opinion. Also, please make it of metal for that price ffs !
I suggest that when you test some of the games do it with “ultimate mode” talking about gpu and “turbo mode” of de cpu for other type of results(it could be better), both of them you could find it in armory crate in this case(software of asus)👍🏾
Never leave ur laptop on these rubber mats as they call them gaming laptop mat because they are great at blocking laptop vents at the bottom and helps with keeping the heat from dissipating i.e more or less like a blanket😊😂
Armoury crate is garbage. Just go using G Helper.
Great content anyway.

I like the shirt where did you get it ?
Which is better between scar 18 and msi titan 18 hx…
I am going to order one within week. Will appreciate your take 🫴🏼
This time bro will also review the asus rog strix g18 2025 vs asus rog strix scar 18 2025
Thanks for the awesome review. How does the display compare to the Mini-LED panel on the new XMG Neo 16? I know the Neo 16 you reviewed isn't a final unit but still – is there any significant differences between the two when it comes to brightness, colors, latency, etc.?
Do you personally find 18” to be the sweet spot for gaming? Or do you think 16” is enough? I preordered the scar 16 and plan to use it as a desktop replacement for school/work/gaming, but I’m worried 16” won’t be enough since I’m used to ultrawide and 27” monitors
$4 grand sheesh
