Last January, on the occasion of CES 2022, Asus presented the ROG Strix Scar range, characterized by the latest generation hardware and designed to offer a high-level gaming experience. Today the Taiwanese company officially announced the new ROG Strix Scar SE, which aims to offer uncompromising performance in a device that still remains portable and takes up much less space than a desktop on the desk. class are guaranteed by hardware of the highest level: under the body we find a brand new Intel Core i9-12950HX processor, top of the range of the Alder Lake HX series presented a few days ago that can reach up to 5.2GHz in boost with a PL2 of 175 watts , paired with an RTX 3080 Ti which can also push its TGP up to 175 watts. - th_hardware_d_mh2_1 slot id: th_hardware_d_mh2 "); }
The vapor chamber takes up almost 50% of the motherboard, covering the VRM, processor and video card. It is then combined with four copper heatsinks with ultra-thin blades of only 0.1mm and the new Arc Flow fans, so as to always guarantee maximum heat dissipation and maintain high performance over time, even during the longest gaming sessions.

To complete the hardware equipment of the ROG Strix Scar 17 SE we find up to 64GB of DDR5-4800 RAM, PCIe 4.0 SSD up to 4TB in RAID 0, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, audio system with four certified speakers Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio, 90Wh battery and a wide range of ports, including two USB 3.2 Gen1 Type A, one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type C with DisplayPort support and Power Delivery, a second USB Type C with Thunderbolt 4 , a 2.5G LAN, an HDMI 2.1 output and the classic 3.5mm jack.


Everything is enclosed in a 395 x 282.1 mm chassis, with a thickness ranging from 23.4 mm to 28.3 mm depending on the configuration, for a total weight of 3kg. The aesthetics of this ROG Strix Scar 17 SE are treated as much as the hardware inside: in addition to the classic RGB lighting, now ubiquitous in gaming products, and the rear insert that can be replaced with a custom 3D printed one, here we also find a very special invisible ink, which can only be seen if illuminated with UV light. Under normal lighting conditions this particular area of ​​the notebook has a matte metallic finish, while when you light it up with a UV flashlight, the ink appears green and blue. Another aesthetic gem is a part of the semi-transparent shell, which reveals the hardware under the keyboard.

ROG Strix Scar 17 SE will be available from the end of July, at a starting price of around 4000 euros. This is obviously a very high figure, but it allows you to take home a unique product of its kind and without compromise, which can be seen in all respects as a "desktop replacement".
