While we didn't test this 17-inch model, in our Asus Strix Scar 15 review, we praised the laptop's attractive, gorgeous RGB design, 300Hz vivid display, and overall performance.

When it comes to design, the ROG Strix Scar is simply captivating. Its blackout finish chassis is accentuated with a cool-looking RGB lighting effects bar underneath. Meanwhile, the highlight of ROG Strix Scar's 1080p display is the 300Hz refresh rate. Not only does this make fast-action games remarkably smooth, it also benefits esports gamers with instant feedback. 

At 6.3 pounds and 15.7 x 11.6 x 1.1 inches, the ROG Strix Scar 17 is lighter than  competitors like the Alienware m17 R3 (6.6 pounds, 15.7 x 11.8 x 0.7~0.8-inches). It’s much lighter than the Acer Predator Triton 900 (9 pounds, 16.9 x 11.9 x 0.9 inches), MSI GT76 Titan (9.9 pounds, 15.6 x 12.9 x 1.3~1.7 inches) and Asus ROG Mothership (10.5 pounds, 16.1 x 12.6 x 1.2 inches).

If you're in the market for a powerful RTX 2070 CPU gaming laptop under $2,000, the  Asus ROG Strix Scar is a solid buy.
