The Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 has more than just the latest RTX 50 series GPUs going for it, with a gorgeous and user-upgradeable design.

With CES coming to a close, there was a lot of new tech devices announced and that includes the 2025 lineup of ROG gaming laptops from ASUS, powered by the RTX 50-series GPUs that NVIDIA announced this week as well.

Asus ROG’s next-gen high-end Strix Scar laptops include more ‘AniMe’ lights to annoy anybody sitting across from you.

You don't even need a screwdriver to upgrade this gaming laptop from Asus, which also sports a 5090 laptop GPU!

The Strix Scar 18 now feels sleek, and that makes all the difference. The keyboard sits flat to the top of the inner deck, with no dent in the chassis to accommodate it. The finish looks and feels somewhat satin, and seems remarkably resistant to fingerprints—a bug bear of mine on almost all gaming laptops.

Inside, the new ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 gaming laptops packs up to Intel's new Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, which packs 24 cores and 32 threads at up to 65W TDP, and up to NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU with 24GB of super-fast GDDR7 memory and 175W max TGP and a MUX Switch with NVIDIA Advanced Optimus.
