Chassis, connectors, screen of the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 G733ZW-LL103W

Rechargeable by 50% in 30 minutes, it sports an original and relatively elegant gamer design with its dark chassis with angular lines cooled by Asus ROG Intelligent Cooling technology using 2 Arc Flow fans (84 blades, 0.1mm), liquid metal thermal paste, heat pipes and air outlets, for a maximum generated box of less than 40dB in performance mode.

This creator-oriented gaming laptop is well equipped in terms of connectivity with its 2 USB-C including 1 Thunderbolt 4, its wireless modules Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6E ax (newer and more powerful than Wi-Fi ac) to communicate and connect remotely, its convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, its Ethernet and audio ports as well as its 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected to it.

A backlight system does not touch equips the chiclet keyboard to discern them in the dim light.

The screen will interest both players and creators and lovers of (Very) High Definition content. It adopts in the first place a low latency of 3ms associated with a frequency of 240Hz higher than the standard 60Hz to reinforce the fluidity in the games. As a bonus, the screen benefits from DCI-P3 and IPS specifications guaranteeing much more faithful than average colors with significant angles, both horizontal and vertical. In addition, it adopts a 2.5K definition higher than Full HD associated with a 16/9th format suitable for playing videos. Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen also offers better visibility than a shiny slab in bright environments (e.g. outdoors).

Performance, battery life of the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 G733ZW-LL103W

The Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 G733ZW-LL103W targets those who have a large budget and want to invest in a versatile laptop of large format powerful in game and creation integrating recent components.

It is based on an Intel Alder Lake Core i9-12900H processor with 14 cores associated with a large amount of RAM of 32 GB that allows you to see coming in this area.
Suffice to say that the overall power provided by this core is incommensurately greater than that delivered by the vast majority of mobile computers on the market.

This core guarantees much faster processing than a conventional Quad/Hexa/Octo Core and 8/16 GB DDR4. The difference is strongly felt under CPU and RAM-intensive work exploiting multi-core – which reveals the potential of E-efficient cores – such as video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing.

Creators will be all the more interested in this creator-oriented gaming laptop as it embeds the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, a dedicated graphics card that accelerates processing under software taking advantage of GPU computing power, such as Adobe Premiere/Photoshop or Sony Vegas.

Gamers, however, remain the primary target of this laptop designed to play and create, with the high-end GeForce RTX 3070 Ti ray tracing NVIDIA Ampere being able to run recent games. However, some concessions may be necessary under the most graphics-intensive opus to get good gameplay, with 2.5K requiring more computation from the GPU than Full HD, which implies a lower fps number.

In practice, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti ray tracing is used by Optimus technology to perform graphics work deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe graphics solution housed in the Core i9 Alder Lake-H, typically for gaming. With one or the other of these graphic solutions in any case, you can obviously watch photos and videos but also run modest games.

The Iris Xe is preferred to the maximum by Optimus despite its reduced performance because it consumes little energy which promotes autonomy.
In this regard, count on about 5 hours of operation on battery in light use.

On the storage side, there is a 1 TB SSD, a large capacity that rivals what the vast majority of hard drives in this field offer. Compared to hard drives, let’s remember the advantages of an SSD: greater resistance to shocks, reduced energy consumption, silence of operation or even greater velocity.

As a result, thanks to the SSD, we reach for example faster on the cards of online games while the launches of games / software are much faster as well as the processing and starts / stops. More generally, the SSD ensures a much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis than a simple hard disk.

If the noise generated by this versatile multimedia gaming laptop oriented creative is very well contained in common use, it climbs in case of strong stresses (eg games, treatments) just like the heating.
