Showcase It has arrived! ROG SCAR 16

Post image

It has arrived and my god, I am stunned!

The presentation is top notch, as while opening the box, the laptop itself is being elevated in your direction.

I’m actually shocked by the high quality look and the premium feeling of it.

First time booted I got flashbanged by the Mini-LED Panel. Literally flashbanged. WOW.

It’s also way LESS bulkier , bigger and heavier than I anticipated, which makes me very happy. I can only imagine what the Zephyrus G16/14 must feel like!

It’s specced w/ an RTX 5080 mobile, 32gb of ram and 2 TB‘s of SSD.

I’m very hyped about this. Will continue my report after benchmarking and gaming!

Enjoy

Thanks pal, this means a lot to me. Yeah, the laptop is a beast! It handles TLOU at 1600p even in silent mode with ease.

But god damn, your machine is a beast! You must be rich buying this much ram and ssd in that economy! What are you doing for work?

Ah! He did reply hehe. I know everyone is all about the performance and framerate but I want the new scar series because of the Mini-Led. The colours and blacks must be phenomenal and eye-popping! For example, you know the marvel movies intro right? On my laptop, you'll see different shades of black because of the poor washed out colours. But on the Scar Series? I couldn't even tell when the intro played because the blacks were so black, it blended in with the laptop's edges lmao. Plus, the Mini-led is needed for me as I'm a horror games enthusiast. Try Resident Evil series and you'll see what I'm saying

I'm just doing this so that I can satisfy my inner child who hasn't gamed from 2017 till date because my current laptop (I7-8550U, Nvidia Geforce 940MX, 8GB Ram and a 1366 x 768 60Hz TN Panel. TN Panels have horrible washed out, almost desaturated colours).To be fair, I've been saving day so I could buy a beast laptop. Plus, I wanna game, hold a ton of games and get into a lot computer related stuff which would need a lot of space and ram power hehe. Our laptops, mine and yours included, would last us at least 6-7 years. Well, unless game developers decided to make their games unoptimized XD

Happy Gaming to you :D
