Revealed at CES 2022, the refreshed ROG Strix SCAR 15 and Strix SCAR 17 sport a host of tech to let them tackle almost any game thrown at them including 12th Gen Intel Core CPUs, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30XX series graphics and more.

To kick things off for 2022, Asus Republic of Gamers will be bringing both gaming laptops, each with two sub-variants to Malaysia. Here’s the ROG Strix SCAR 15 and ROG Strix SCAR 17 Malaysia prices and specifications.

What is the ROG Strix SCAR 17 and SCAR 15?

The ROG Strix SCAR 15 and SCAR 17 primarily differ from each other based on their screen size and their choice of graphics card which is either the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti with 8GB GDDR6 with MUX Switch and Optimus or the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti with 16GB GDDR 6 with MUX Switch and Optimus. Combined this offers 2 variants of the Strix SCAR 17 and 2 versions of the Strix SCAR 15. 

Regardless of version, all laptops in the series feature a 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900H 2.5GHz processor. The new ROG Strix SCAR series also have fast WiFi 6E connectivity and a modest selection of ports including a HDMI 2.1 port, a 3.5mm combo audio jack, 2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type A ports, a USB-C Display Port with power delivery, a 2.5G LAN port and G-Sync and a Thunderbolt 4 port with Display Port support. All versions of the Strix SCAR 17 and Strix SCAR 15 also feature a 90Whr battery.

The top of the line ROG Strix SCAR 17 has a 17.3-inch IPS WQHD (2,560 x 1,440 pixels) display with a 240Hz refresh rate, 300 nits brightness and 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut support.
