![]() ![]() Thermal throttling is present as you might expect with a CPU temperature like that. The temperatures are rather high for both CPU and GPU. On its highest settings, it did manage a good average of 123 FPS, which means that you should be able to take advantage of the 144Hz display on the ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR II GL7 laptop. Moving on to our gaming benchmarks, we first head on to CS:GO. For the sake of comparison, this one managed to gain almost 800 more points in score, and also roughly 30 FPS more compared to the GTX 1060-powered Zephyrus S. Perhaps I’ve already expected disappointment coming from Cinebench R15 but this one shows that it is a powerful machine. On Unigine Heaven Benchmark 4.0 however, it does manage to gain a pretty good score. After all, this is new technology so it is pretty normal. However, at least it did score easily above 60 FPS and we expect future driver updates to further improve performance of RTX 2070. The OpenGL scores weren’t as high as we had hoped, especially since we’ve had GTX 1060-powered laptops that scored higher than this. The Intel Core i7-8750H CPU performed just as we expected, reaching a score of 1096 cb. Would’ve preferred a better SSD but at least, it’s faster than your typical SATA 3 SSDs and it does have half a terabyte of storage. While the results are a bit lower than the expected speeds for that drive, it is essentially around what we can expect from the Intel 660p. Upon further analysis, we found out that this was running the Intel 660p SSD. Now, on paper, it says that the ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR II GL7 laptop has a NVMe PCIe x4 SSD but as you can see from the results above, the speeds seem to be more akin to an PCIe X2 SSD. Intel Core i7-8750H 2.2 GHz (up to 4.1 GHz Turbo Boost)ġ7.3″ FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS Level, 144 Hz, 3ms, 100% sRGB, Anti-GlareĢ x 3.5W speakers with Smart AMP technologyĦ6 Whrs, 4-cell Li-ion Battery, 230W Power AdapterĪs usual with our benchmark suite, we start things off with CrystalDiskMark. It has a clean look and plenty of RGB lighting that will surely satisfy plenty of gamers’ aesthetic needs and wants. Overall, the ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR II GL7 laptop does feel very similar to the Zephyrus line of laptops, albeit thicker, but it’s definitely not a knockoff design of it as soon as you open the lid. Not gonna lie, touching the bottom part here, especially where you see lines strewn across, does make me feel like it is a bit fragile. You have five small rubber stands to give it a bit of a lift for improved airflow, the ROG logo, some stickers, and more air vents. On the bottom of the laptop, there’s really nothing much to see. ![]() There’s nothing on the back of the ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR II GL7 laptop besides a pretty long air vent. In between the Kensington Lock and the USB-A port is an air vent, which you don’t have to worry about. On the right side on the other hand is where you can find the Kensington Lock, another USB-A port, a USB-C port, and a full-sized SD card reader. On the left side of the laptop, you have the charging port, RJ45 LAN port, a mini DisplayPort, an HDMI port, three USB-A ports, and the combo audio jack. This can be customized for use with the ASUS AURA Sync. The trackpad isn’t really centered as it is positioned a bit more to the left, which may feel a little awkward at first unless you’re using a mouse.Īssuming you have turned the laptop on, you will then notice the 4-zone RGB LED light bar across the front edge of the ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR II GL7 laptop. The arrow keys for the keyboard shares a bit of space with the numpad, but it’s still well-spaced nonetheless. You can see that it has a light camouflage design to make it more appealing to gamers. Open up the laptop and you’ll be greeted with a 17.3-inch display, a full-sized RGB chiclet keyboard, the trackpad below the keyboard, and the new RTX sticker to let you know what you’re about to experience. It’s worth noting that the ROG logo here does have RGB lighting for those who really want the most in aesthetics. When you look at the lid, the design is reminiscent of the Zephyrus line of laptops with its clean and sleek brushed metallic finish. After all, it is the same ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR II GL704 except for some differences in the internal parts, most notable the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 GPU. Chances are that you’ve already seen the laptop before. ![]()
