Windows 11 Pro is the installed operating system.

13th Gen Intel Core Performance
The system is powered by a 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13980HX processor. It can reach a stock speed of 2.2 GHz and can be boosted up to 5.6 GHz. There are eight performance cores and sixteen efficiency cores for a total of 24 cores.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-Series Graphics
The dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-Series graphics card is designed to deliver high frame rates and advanced features such as real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and more to enhance your entertainment and content creation experiences.
16" ROG Nebula HDR Display
The 16" ROG Nebula HDR display features a 2560 x 1600 resolution, a 16:10 aspect ratio, and 240 Hz refresh rate for fast, 1440p gaming while on the go. The display can also reach up to 1100 nits of brightness, which is great for Dolby Vision HDR content.
MUX Switch with Advanced Optimus
A MUX Switch increases laptop gaming performance by 5 to 10% by routing frames directly from the dedicated GPU to the display bypassing the integrated graphics. With Advanced Optimus, the switch between integrated graphics and the dedicated GPU becomes automatic based on the task, optimizing battery life.
ROG Intelligent Cooling
The SCAR 16 features upgraded liquid metal on both the CPU and GPU, and a third intake fan among other premium features, to allow for better sustained performance over long gaming sessions.
Gaming Design
The SCAR 16 embodies the ROG distinct style with a unique chassis design with dot matrix elements, a semi-translucent keyboard deck, and RGB accents in the front, rear, and, of course, the keyboard.
Customizable Armor Caps
Add a pop of personality to your chassis with Customizable Armor Caps. One additional color option comes in the box so you can swap out effortlessly, letting you switch up your style anytime. For a fully customized touch, ASUS also has a 3D printing template that makes it easy to create original looks of your own.
Windows 11 Pro
Microsoft simplified the design and user experience with Windows 11. It has a modern, clean design with a new Start Menu position. Snap Layouts, Groups, and Desktops allow you to multitask with ease. Microsoft has also integrated some of their apps, such as Microsoft Teams. The redesigned Microsoft Store makes it easier to look for supported apps. The Pro version of Windows 11 includes all the features that Windows 11 Home offers plus many designed specifically for business users, including Hyper-V virtualization, BitLocker disk encryption, and remote desktop access.
