The 2023 generation Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 laptop is one of the most powerful you can buy right now, with the combination of Ryzen 9 7945HX and RTX 4090 making it especially competitive for gaming, especially since it's also offered at a lower price than Intel-based models. At the same time, there are reasons to opt for the more advanced designs offered by the Scar 16 or Scar 18, even if those are a bit more expensive.
