Need for Speed
Intel Ultra Performance
This system includes an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor, which powers your games and applications with eight Performance cores while the 16 Efficient cores handle background tasks. The P-cores have a base speed of 2.7 GHz with a 5.5 GHz Max Turbo frequency. A built-in NPU, capable of 13 trillion operation per second (TOPS), accelerates AI workloads.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50-Series Graphics
The dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 laptop graphics card delivers the performance you need for high frame rates and high-res visuals for the latest games. Utilize real-time raytracing and DLSS 4 to make sure you get the most out of your gameplay.
Ultimate Power
The SCAR 18 allows you to enable Turbo mode to provide 95W to the CPU and 175W to the GPU. Switching to manual mode pushes performance to the max by giving you access to an additional 50W for the CPU, bringing the total system power to 320W.
ROG Nebula HDR Display
Take in every detail with the Pantone validated 18" 3840 x 2400 resolution 4K UHD display, which provides silky smooth visuals with a 240 Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time while NVIDIA G-Sync support eliminates screen tearing and stuttering. The mini LED AGLR (anti-glare and low reflection) display also provides exceptional color clarity with over 2000 dimming zones, backed by a dynamic algorithm, and Dolby Vision HDR support, which enhances visuals with realistically bright highlights and deep shadows.
ROG Nebula ELMB
ROG Nebula ELMB motion clarity technology uses 40 discrete zones that allow the display to turn off when a pixel is transitioning between colors, providing incredible motion clarity across the entire panel. ELMB also supports variable refresh rate, letting you enjoy crystal clear motion without screen tearing or stuttering.
Intelligent Cooling
The SCAR 18 maintains optimal performance with an advanced cooling system that features an end-to-end vapor chamber that maximizes thermal contact with the CPU and GPU. It is sandwiched between the upper and lower heatsinks for enhanced heat dissipation. Three fans pull cool air in from the sides while the exhaust is channeled out the rear hinges, keeping warm air away from your mousing hand.
Upgrade Ready
A toolless chassis makes it easy to access the RAM, SSD, and fans. You can install up to 128GB of DDR5-6400 memory across two SO-DIMM slots. The Q-Latch system makes it easy to add or remove M.2 NVMe SSDs into the two slots.
Play with Flair
Full-Surround AURA and Stealth Mode
The ROG Strix SCAR 18 features an RGB lightbar that wraps around the laptop, giving you a full 360° distinct glow. While standout lighting effects are awesome when gaming with friends, you may want a more subtle, sophisticated look when you're in class or at the office. Stealth Mode turns all the lights off, revealing a polished layer of black chromium plating under the logo for a sleek feel.
AniMe Vision
Originally seen on the ASUS Zephyrus series, the Strix SCAR 18 sports an AniMe Vision display on the laptop's lid. With an array of 810 LEDs shining through 9,152 precision-milled holes, you can show off your style with a wide selection of pre-made animations, import a GIF of your choice, or animate your own image from scratch.
Press the Attack
The per key RGB backlit full-size keyboard is built to deliver high responsiveness with n-key rollover, so every command is recognized, even when you press multiple keys at once. There are also dedicated media keys that allow you to quickly adjust the volume, mute your mic, and change operating modes.
Studio Quality Sound
The Dolby Atmos speaker system includes two tweeters and two downward firing woofers to create a rich, authentic sound stage for your games. Hi-Res audio ensures you hear your music in the same quality it was recorded. Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation processes both incoming and outgoing audio to filter any errant background noises, making sure that your calls, chats and streams come through without distraction.
All the Bandwidth
With support for Wi-Fi 7, 2.5 GbE LAN, and Thunderbolt 5, this laptop can handle online multiplayer games with ease. There is also a full HD camera with Windows Hello support, allowing you to unlock the machine with just a smile. Windows Hello also provides optimal cybersecurity thanks to facial recognition. Only your face grants access, keeping your data safe and secure.
Endless Customization
When you want to tweak settings, monitor temperatures, or tinker with your laptop, Armoury Crate is your command center. Real-time monitoring allows you to see what your GPU, CPU, and memory are doing. RGB can be adjusted on a game-by-game basis with Aura Sync. Fan and power profiles allow you to change the acoustics, power delivery, and thermal characteristics of the laptop on the fly. And exclusive game deals keep your library topped off at all times.
Windows 11 Home
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.
