Asus's ROG Gaming Laptop ROG Strix SCAR II GL704
PC.com|March - April 2019

The ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has recently unveiled their maiden line of RTX-enabled gaming laptops. We managed to get our hands on one of powerhouses. And here’s what we will be looking at – the ROG Strix SCAR II GL704.

Asus's ROG Gaming Laptop ROG Strix SCAR II GL704

Design

Now, compared to the previous generation of the SCAR II GL704 (not even a year old ), the chassis remains the same. It’s the inside that matters. Yes, I’m referring to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 GPU. What’s so special about the RTX? In case you don’t know, the GPU has a real-time ray tracing abilities, allowing for greater graphic fidelity.

The brushed aluminium lid makes it sleek and clean. The ultra-slim bezels on the SCAR II is really a marvel. Why? It’s slim enough to fit into a 15.6-inch laptop bag. Impressive indeed for a 17.3-inch display laptop. But alas, the slim bezels only apply to the top and sides. The bottom needs to house the logo and a webcam (nostril-pointing?).

Overall, the chassis is still made of plastic, but with added thickness.

This ensures the overall chassis built to feel solid. You’ll still get the same RGB-enabled ROG logo and light strip at the front of the laptop.

The keyboard has a tinge of camo accents. For the typing experience, I am not exactly impressed. It could use a bit more travel and come with a full-sized arrow key cluster instead of the current narrower ones. No thanks to a huge right control key! The transparent WASD keys looks unique, are a rather odd sight for the laptop. For me, it cheapens the aesthetics by just a little.
