Unleash the beast, chase the dragon, and we can throw in many superlatives into this product series. We dive into the ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 17 2023 model, a laptop with a staggering 16-core Ryzen 9 7945HX processor that's pretty much as fast as the desktop part. Coupled with 32GB DDR5 RAM and the mobile GeForce RTX 4090, this laptop promises outstanding performance. The laptop appears to be crafted from several ambitions, featuring the GeForce RTX 4090, swift NVMe storage, and a proper rapid IPS 240Hz 2560x1440 display. In this review, we primarily focus on the remarkable power of AMD's mobile processor, which keeps pace with its desktop counterparts effortlessly. Asus currently offers two models of the Strix Scar 17: one with an RTX 4090 and another with an RTX 4080. Our review unit was the RTX 4090 configuration, it's worth noting that both graphics cards have access to 175 watts of power (150W for the GPU itself, plus 25W from Dynamic Boost). But what really sets the Scar 17 apart from the competition is the inclusion of AMD's new Ryzen 9 7945HX processor, the company's first 55W processor and the first 16-core mobile processor from Team Red. It also marks the debut of AMD's Ryzen 7000 platform in laptops. This indeed is the much-discussed dragon range series of processors.
