Chassis, connectors, screen of the Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 G533QS-HF009T

With its chassis resulting from a collaboration with BMW with angular lines and black finish, it sports an original look while adopting the gamer codes.

This gaming laptop PC is cooled by 2 Arc Flow fans (84 blades), heat pipes and 4 air vents, but also by the use of Thermal Grizzly thermal paste.

The connectivity built into this laptop designed to play and create is good, including 1 USB-C, Bluetooth 5.0 wireless modules and Wi-Fi ax ( newer and efficient than Wi-Fi ac ) to communicate and connect. remotely, a useful HDMI video output to easily connect this PC to a TV or monitor for example, Ethernet and audio ports as well as 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers made up to 10 times faster than \’in USB 2.0 if you connect USB 3.0 peripherals.
However, we regret with regard to the positioning of this PC that it is not equipped with a Thunderbolt port.

An RGB backlighting system per key is fitted to the keyboard, which is useful for discerning keys in the dark.
Here we are more precisely dealing with a mechanical optical keyboard offering switches that support at least 100 million keystrokes, more suited to the game than a chiclet keyboard.

Numeric keypad point on the right, however, when it is a standard in 15 inches.
However, for this specific model, Asus integrates its NumPad technology. So when you need it, you can convert the touchpad into a touchscreen numeric keypad to make it easier to enter numbers.

The screen will particularly appeal to gamers with its frequency of 300Hz and its latency limited to 3ms. Because in this way, fluidity is enhanced in games compared to the 60Hz standard. Creatives will appreciate for their part that the screen adopts 100% and IPS characteristics because it reproduces colors more faithfully than average while having large viewing angles, both vertical and horizontal. With its Full HD definition and 16: 9 aspect ratio, the screen is also suitable for displaying High Definition content such as videos. Anti-reflective coating, the screen also provides better visibility than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg outdoors).

Performance, battery life of Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 G533QS-HF009T

The Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 G533QS-HF009T may be of interest to those on a budget who want to acquire a versatile 15-inch laptop that is powerful in gaming and creative oriented.

The overall power provided by this gaming laptop PC is sure to appeal to the most demanding users, including gamers and creators.
Because it is built around an AMD Cezanne APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Ryzen 9 5900HX Octo Core processor and a good amount of 32 GB RAM.

In particular, this core guarantees uncommonly faster processing than a Quad / Hexa Core processor and 8/16 GB DDR4. The difference is particularly important in areas that are CPU and RAM resource intensive using multicore, such as video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing, which will be appreciated by creatives.

The latter will be all the more delighted as the processing is accelerated under software taking advantage of GPU computing power (eg Adobe Premiere / Photoshop, Sony Vegas), and this by the most powerful high-end mobile dedicated graphics card. At the moment, the NVIDIA Ampere GeForce RTX 3080 with dedicated 16 GB ray tracing version (an 8 GB GDDR6 edition exists).

This GPU has above all the advantage of being able to run the most recent games which are greedy in graphic resources, which will appeal to gamers.

Onboard NVIDIA Optimus technology activates the GeForce RTX 3080 16 GB when the performance of the AMD Radeon Vega 8 solution housed within the Octo Core Ryzen 9 is insufficient to perform the desired tasks.

More efficient than the UHD 630 of Intel processors, the Vega 8 is favored as much as possible by Optimus because it is energy efficient which promotes battery life.
In this regard, expect about 7 hours of battery operation in light use.

The GeForce RTX 3080 16 GB is therefore activated when it comes to performing graphics work deemed too heavy for the Vega 8, especially for gaming. With one or the other of these graphics solutions, we can obviously watch photos and videos.

The storage is up to the task, entrusted to an SSD with a large capacity of 1 TB that rivals hard drives. But compared to the latter, remember that an SSD is silent, more resistant to shocks, more energy efficient and much faster.

Concretely, thanks to the SSD, we take advantage of much faster game / software launches, processing and starts / stops, or even faster arrival on the cards of online games.

What if you still need extra space? You can add a second SSD to the free M.2 slot.

Finally, keep in mind that when strongly pushed (eg games, processing), this designer-oriented gamer laptop is heard and heats up.
