The Need For Speed
The 2025 Strix SCAR 18 offers the very best Windows 11 Pro gaming experience, featuring up to Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 processor 275HX and up to NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5090 Laptop GPU with Advanced Optimus. This killer hardware is complemented with up to 64GB of 5600MHz DDR5 RAM and 4TB of PCIe 4.0 storage, with the memory slots upgradable to 6400MHz DDR5 RAM and SSD slots both offering full support for PCIe Gen 5, ensuring that you always have the edge on your competition.

ROG Intelligent Cooling
We’ve completely revamped the cooling solution of the 2025 Strix SCAR 18 with precise calculations in mind to ensure that you get the best gaming experience with your machine, every time. We relocated all of the exhaust vents to the rear of the hinge, keeping warm air away from your mousing hand. The sides and bottom of the machine act as an air intake, creating a natural, efficient path for airflow. Air also flows through the keyboard deck, keeping your hands cooler during intense gaming sessions. When pairing an end-to-end vapor chamber with a sandwiched heatsink, Tri-Fan Technology, and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on both CPU & GPU, the 2025 Strix SCAR 18 achieves a lower noise level in Turbo Mode compared to the previous generation, while still offering the same calculated excellence you expect from a Strix SCAR machine.

ROG Nebula HDR Display
Your laptop’s display is a window into new worlds, which is why we put the absolute best on our ROG Strix SCAR 18. This ROG Nebula HDR display with Mini LED technology features over 2000 dimming zones, 1200 nits of peak brightness, and beautiful colors thanks to 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space. The 2025 SCAR 18 has also been upgraded with a brand-new dual ACR layer, which reduces reflections and enhances contrast by 4.5X for incredibly vivid colors. When combined with our own Nebula HDR engine, this display ensures every game and movie is done true justice. And with a blazing fast refresh rate of 240Hz and full G-SYNC support, motion will be incredibly smooth, allowing you to see every enemy before they see you.
The Strix SCAR 18 features an Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 processor 275HX boasting up to a 65W TDP with 8 Performance-cores and 16 Efficient-cores, paired with NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 5080 Laptop GPU (1334 AI TOPS) with a max TGP of 175W, ensuring flawless AAA gaming experiences while making resource-intensive tasks like programming and rendering effortless and seamless.
