*Refresh rate varies by model.
POWER UP WITH NEW GENERATION
Speed through work and play on a machine tailored to deliver triple-digit frame rates. ROG Boost takes the leading-edge GeForce® RTX 2080 SUPER™ GPU up to 1560MHz at 150W in Turbo mode for fast, fluid gameplay. The powerful 10th gen Intel® Core™ CPU paired with up to 32GB of DDR4-3200 RAM slices through intensive work and play.

Space for a third SSD means you can easily expand your storage and take your complete program library with you anywhere.
*DDR4-3200 RAM is limited to configurations equipped with an Intel® Core™ i7-10875H and up.
LIQUID METAL BOOSTS COOLING
ROG's Intelligent Cooling philosophy mixes the right features and system settings to ensure the best experience for each situation. Performance is boosted with cutting-edge enhancements like liquid metal compound on the CPU and a well-ventilated exterior that keeps noise levels lower than the last generation. Special editions of the SCAR 17 add height to the chassis to facilitate superior performance from its uber powerful RTX 2080 SUPER GPU. ROG Armoury Crate software seamlessly switches between operating modes to optimize performance and acoustics for the task. Together, these innovations enable ROG Boost to raise GPU clocks by 100MHz over stock speeds.
RELIABLE WI-FI 6 NETWORKING
Ultrafast Intel® Wi-Fi 6 with Gig+ (802.11ax) lets you game reliably at LAN speeds wherever compatible connections are available. Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) enables a peak interface bandwidth up to 2.4Gbps*, with boosted network speed, efficiency, and reliability in crowded spaces. It also reduces latency, meaning less lag for network-sensitive activities like quick play matches on the go. ROG RangeBoost technology complements your Wi-Fi 6 by maximizing coverage. The unique RangeBoost algorithm evaluates the signal strength of four internal antennas and picks the best pair to use for your location, minimizing dead spots and increasing range by up to 30%.
* Unless otherwise stated, Wi-Fi speeds are based on theoretical performance. Actual performance may vary.
INTRODUCING KEYSTONE II
Keystone II offers a versatile new way to personalize your machine and protect your personal data. These physical, NFC-enabled keys fit neatly into the Strix SCAR 15/17’s chassis, adding a subtle accent along the trim. When docked, Keystones can unlock access to personalized settings that transform your machine, quick-launch apps or games of your choice, reveal a hidden Shadow Drive for covert private storage, and more.
AURA SYNC LETS YOUR PERSONALITY SHINE

RICHER SOUND
Immersive, side-firing speakers put you in the thick of the action. Smart Amp technology monitors audio output and makes real-time adjustments to keep the speakers within thermal and excursion limits, preventing damage to the cones. The resulting sound has less noise distortion, higher dynamic range, more bass, and significantly higher potential output. Pump up the volume and hear every enemy movement, firefight, and environmental audio cue in the game.

Dissatisfied But Fullfilled
Dissatisfied costumer that why am giving a 5 rating. Why because of a line in a song sang by tom petty (the waiting is the hardest part). Having to change from a 17in screen size to a 15 for the sake of time. If I knone that it could take that long to get I would of chose a Mac from Bestbuy. But since I got My Last Lap from you I decided to stick around and deal with the torment. Because performanece wise I new What I was getting from your team. I love This Unite and I will try to reserrect the Titan G 75 in the future THX
I'm very happy with my new laptop. I had issues in the past with my system overheating and I included heat control options and I'm pleased to report that it's working. The system can also process more complex items, without showing signs of lagging. The timing was build was good, I followed the tracking and it was nice to know where the device was in the process.
The hardware is perfectly fine, but the overstock software used causes issues with windows 11 and causes blue screen(mini dump - driver issue) the exact file is ntoskrnl.exe DIRVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.
When I contacted for help to resolve the problem, they just kept wanting me to download more and more diagnostic software and never solved the problem because their office was closing and I had Graduate School classes the next morning at 8am. So don't rely on their customer service...they talk big but don't live up to their own hype. I ultimately had to call a couple of IT friends I have and they helped me fix the issue that evening (starting with Uninstalling the overstock software) and then had me up and running in time for class. So unless you have IT friends, don't trust XOTIC PC on the software side of things. They can clearly physically build a good computer, but they don't know what they are doing when it comes to software, and you'll need a specialist to fix any issues. Next computer i order, I will get the hardware and assembly from XOTIC but I will definitely NOT get any software from them. I will handle my own software and consult a specialist. Just be aware that you wont get the software help you need when you need it from XOTIC PC.
