The Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 2025 brings the company's flagship 16-inch gaming laptop brand up to date with the addition of Nvidia's latest RTX 5000 series GPUs and Intel's Arrow Lake CPUs. At the top of the range is a model packing an RTX 5090 and Core Ultra 9 Processor 275HX, but our review model drops the GPU to an RTX 5080. That's still a mightily powerful combination that, when combined with this laptop's excellent cooling and very capable other hardware, makes for a seriously impressive gaming laptop.Along with its sheer power and build quality, features such as a quick-access panel for upgrading components, a dazzling light show on the lid, and a superb 16-inch 240Hz IPS screen all add up to a laptop that is not just powerful but desirable. Indeed, it's enough to have this Asus machine leap straight onto our best gaming laptop guide as clearly the best option for those seeking a great balance of power and portability, but it does come at a high price.
