2025 Asus Scar 16 Hands On! RTX 5090 and Core Ultra 275HX! 360 Degree Light Bar! Tooless Bottom!

[@RAZORBLACKRX]

The detachable bottom grill is innovating. No more lost screws and difficulty trying to pop it off with a credit card. Wish all laptop will adopt this.

[@kyrios1120]

Its always that one screw that somehow gets lost

[@ToryonDavis]

I wonder how durable that latch will be over time.

Until someone steals your ssd or ram stick

[@Hunger53]

Thank you for doing these videos! Very excited to see all these new models

[@mostnamesaretaken959]

My next laptop this year!

[@theskydebreuil]

I'm torn between this one and the new Razer :P

[@introvert5294]

how much this laptop can be?

[@fangytasuki]

Yay new content from the laptop gaming king

[@RaKnows]

Awesome coverage. Was hoping to see you at CES this year.

[@LCJammer]

the easy access is really nice to see. i hope more manufacturers do this.

[@anddo24]

Another great video! Going to be tough deciding. I'm definitely checking out other brands this time. But I'm leaning towards the Scar 16/18... Hoping, Asus gets their act together with BIOS updates, and no funny business; Intel 13980HX+4080 paring was a nightmare.

[@ChryslerLeBaro]

The MSI Titan HX Dragon Myth is by far the sickest machine.

[@aero6833]

Hands down. If it wasn’t $5000 that would be on my list to get

[@RaKnows]

@@aero6833 Yeah these flagships are amazing but the prices are beyond me. I might wait for the Scar 18 to go on sale because it's pretty awesome. $4100 before tax is yikes territory but I want a 5090 lol.

[@mohammadrafsanjani4879]

Msi model is good, but its software sucks

[@balddog470]

Lenovo has announced OLED displays for their 7i laptops

[@andrewmorris3479]

OLED or bust.

[@anddo24]

OLED isn't everything.. Mini=led tech is almost as vibrant and gets way brighter. Also, no burn-in, faster displays.. Nothing against Lenovo, of course. I'll checkout what they have cooking before making a decision.

[@Alt_Aly]

Once you have an oled you don't go back, everything else is subpar.

[@total3593]

Rog zephyrus 14 oled too

[@andrewmorris3479]

@ And Zephyrus G16.

[@crashedking1931]

Bottom grill not so great of an idea for me. I rather loose the screws. Thanks for the video.

[@hughmungus6838]

My poor laptop 1060 is on its last legs , might get this one or the predator

[@sirshartsalotxvii]

They already have 5090 laptop gpus out? Crazy

[@lexavaritia7596]

Good thing i bought the 2023 Strix version

[@mohanedwael4380]

Dose it possible to see the 5070 in scar virgins???

[@NJoeodjej]

Personally, i nearly always hate the designs of asusincluding the logo but have to admit they are going in the right direction with the rest of it.

[@areta-r]

I dont know if it's just an impression but the keyboard RGB lighting seems not so vibrant

[@Humbleservantneil137]

when is the rtx 50 laptop are going to be released.

[@RaKnows]

March.

[@stephenalabado2443]

Did they release a laptop with sd card reader?

[@brandoncook8300]

How much vram?

[@KedaiCiplak]

Gonna wait for the SCAR 18. And then I'll pass down my 3070 to my bro.

[@steeveabitbol2466]

Any 5090 18” OLEDs in the pipeline?

[@TrusteftTech]

I wonder how easy or difficult it is going to be to replace the thermal paste on this thing.

[@MGRogue]

That would be when you’d send the laptop into ASUS for them to repaste, unless of course the laptop is out of warranty, only then would you try and repaste by yourself

[@TrusteftTech]

@@MGRogue You are basing that on?

[@bryanvanegas343]

Can the RAM be upgraded to 6400MHz?

[@spacemaster5206]

They stacked 6 sheets of glass underneath the laptop to trick people into thinking it had multi-layered RGB lighting underneath 🤣

[@alanliang9538]

plottwist they had 3050 in there

[@jamreal18]

I dont need that lightbar

[@LCJammer]

without it's not a gaming laptop 😉

[@user_5670x]

You can turn it off if you prefer

[@jamreal18]

@@user_5670x but you have to pay it

[@Stardomplay]

That CPU is going to significantly bottleneck the 5090. Hopefully we get X3D 9000 HX.

[@nikolajovanovic3647]

Too bad these new arrow lake in the knee CPUs are SLOWER than last gen. They have no hyperthreading. A lot of the games were cpu bottlenecked, it will be interesting seeing a 5090 laptop being outperformed by a 4090 in certain titles.

[@xthundercatx9852]

il change my strix scar when they make one with 9955hxed .. or if not who knows il change to razer .. MSI looks always so ugly :/

[@vitaliykravchenko9747]

18 inchs much better than 16 inchs

[@ryanvacation7319]

Definitely better cooling

[@LumosX]

Nope.

[@user_5670x]

Nah.

[@kennysponto6568]

how much?

[@anddo24]

Scar 18 is $4199. so the 16 will probably be $3299 to $3899 {5090}

[@MGRogue]

Ha! That would mean it will cost around £3500 here in the UK. Here’s hoping. I highly doubt it will cost over £4000, when it only has an 2.5K screen and it also doesn’t have the flagship Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX. I believe the VAT tax is what will make the laptop cost a lot. The laptop itself is like £2500 without VAT tax added

[@replydenewalahmadarchod]

Why using intel pathetic cpu i aren't buying this

[@96andry96]

Finally here we are🎉 Have a look at the new Alienware laptop too pleaseee 🥹 I would really appreciate. Other videos don't show well the machine 😅
