Reviewer verdict
Across 33 YouTube reviews, the ASUS Strix Scar 16 (2025) earns an Index score of 4/5, ranking #18 among Gaming PCs & Laptops. Reviewers most often praise its display, build quality, performance, while the most common criticisms concern build quality, value.
The Strix Scar 16 (2025) is widely praised for its display, with reviewers repeatedly highlighting the 16‑inch 2.5K Nebula HDR mini‑LED panel, extremely high brightness and HDR performance, wide DCI‑P3/Pantone‑validated color gamut, and a 240 Hz refresh rate; display strengths were the single most mentioned positive across reviews. Reviewers also commonly applaud the laptop's connectivity and upgradeability—notes include dual Thunderbolt 5 ports, Wi‑Fi 7, 2.5 Gb Ethernet, ample USB ports, and tool‑free access for RAM and SSD upgrades. Performance and cooling receive frequent praise as well, with many reviewers calling out the new Intel Core Ultra CPU and high‑end RTX GPU combinations delivering substantial generational performance gains and effective vapor‑chamber/liquid‑metal cooling. Additional recurring positives include solid build details (easy to upgrade, metal keyboard deck, unified RGB lighting), a very good keyboard and large glass trackpad, and generally strong audio with Dolby Atmos reported by several reviewers.
Criticisms center on the chassis and portability: many reviewers describe the Scar as heavy, chunky, and largely plastic despite its premium price, making it less portable and a fingerprint magnet. Price and value are frequent downsides—reviewers repeatedly call out a high cost for certain configurations and question whether some models justify the premium versus alternatives. Cooling and noise are also common concerns in specific modes or workloads, with reports of loud fans and very high CPU temperatures in certain stress scenarios. Other often‑mentioned negatives include average battery life for a large gaming machine and some display/configuration caveats (occasional HDR/Windows HDR behavior, multisite haloing, and that some SKUs use IPS rather than the higher‑end mini‑LED options).

- not the best possible typing experience out there ▶ Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 (2025) Review: Unhinged Gaming! @ 6:03
- massive trackpad can lead to wrist rubbing while typing ▶ ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2025 RTX 5080) Review @ 3:00
- It's not comfortable to use and it's very gimmicky. ▶ Strix G16 (Ryzen 9 9955HX3D): It's a Beast! @ 13:14
- one major gripe that I have with this, especially as someone who plays mouse and keyboard, is the palm rest area. Now, the palm rest area will dig onto your skin because of how it's designed ▶ The Asus ROG Strix Scar is the BEST RTX 5080 Laptop in 2025! @ 10:04
- I think the layout is a bit confusing since I keep pressing the F12 button when I want to press delete ▶ Asus ROG STRIX G18 (2025) REVIEW - Gaming Laptop, or Portabl @ 3:27
- dislike is the clicky feel of the touchpad. It's not a very satisfying click and it just kind of feels mushy ▶ Fastest Gaming Laptop I've Ever Tested! - ROG Strix Scar 16 @ 4:25
- usually have the underglow off because it can be a little too much ▶ Fastest Gaming Laptop I've Ever Tested! - ROG Strix Scar 16 @ 1:29
- the integrated left and right buttons just feel mushy and downright lifeless ▶ The Best & Worst of RTX 5000 Laptops - ROG Strix SCAR 16 & 1 @ 13:01
- I wish a bit more effort was put into this since it feels like a generation behind what folks like Legion and even MSI are offering these days ▶ The Best & Worst of RTX 5000 Laptops - ROG Strix SCAR 16 & 1 @ 12:46
- it does feel a little bit slow since it needs more activation force than a lot of other gaming laptops ▶ The Best & Worst of RTX 5000 Laptops - ROG Strix SCAR 16 & 1 @ 12:42

- translucent keys ▶ This Gaming Laptop Can Definitely Play GTA 6 ft ASUS ROG Str @ 4:05
- keyboard is possibly not my favorite thing about this laptop. It is a membrane keyboard and it has a very shallow feeling set of keys ▶ This Gaming Laptop Can Definitely Play GTA 6 ft ASUS ROG Str @ 3:45
- Trackpad numpad functionality of limited use ▶ 50-series laptops are here! - 2025 ROG Strix SCAR @ 7:32
- RGB underglow not essential ▶ 50-series laptops are here! - 2025 ROG Strix SCAR @ 4:09
Connectivity (12)
- We wish there was an option to utilize the iGPU for an external monitor instead, but there is not. Disabling the GPU in eco mode makes it so you cannot connect to an external display. ▶ Strix G16 (Ryzen 9 9955HX3D): It's a Beast! @ 3:16
- we are mostly disappointed at how far down the ports come forward on the left side. This may not be the biggest deal for right-handed gamers, but we still feel cables will look messy and could get in your way. ▶ Strix G16 (Ryzen 9 9955HX3D): It's a Beast! @ 13:50
- The only thing that this laptop is missing in my opinion is an SD card reader, which would have been great for gamers like me who also would use this laptop for editing. ▶ Best Gaming Laptop of 2025? ASUS ROG Strix G18 Review @ 2:25
- except an SD card slot ▶ Asus ROG STRIX G18 (2025) REVIEW - Gaming Laptop, or Portabl @ 2:30

Audio (10)
- don't expect heavy bass while gaming ▶ ROG Strix G16 2025 Review: RTX 5070 + Ultra 9 for ₹2.29L — T @ 7:55
- this still isn't a replacement for good external speakers or a soundbar ▶ ROG Strix G16 2025 Review: RTX 5070 + Ultra 9 for ₹2.29L — T @ 7:45
- The Stricks, Gigabyte, and Legion Pro all have four speakers with the Legion Pro 7i coming in second. ▶ The BEST 16-Inch Gaming Laptops Dominating 2025 (So Far) @ 11:56
- they sound pretty squashed and are quite directional. That means they sound better when you are right in front of the laptop. ▶ Strix G16 (Ryzen 9 9955HX3D): It's a Beast! @ 14:14
- we don't feel it sounds as great. Unfortunately, the mic sounds a little flat and tiny. ▶ Strix G16 (Ryzen 9 9955HX3D): It's a Beast! @ 14:07
- It sounds pretty okay. It is a bit lacking in bass ▶ Asus ROG STRIX G18 (2025) REVIEW - Gaming Laptop, or Portabl @ 5:44
- The speakers aren't amazing, but they get the job done if you're watching videos or movies. I don't think anything can compare to the ROG Zephris speakers ▶ Fastest Gaming Laptop I've Ever Tested! - ROG Strix Scar 16 @ 2:40
- speakers are okay, but you're probably gonna want a headset realistically ▶ We Gotta Talk About the 2025 ROG Strix Scar @ 5:26
- Speakers are just okay, not as good as last year's model ▶ 2025 Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 Review @ 8:11
- Speakers lack bass ▶ 50-series laptops are here! - 2025 ROG Strix SCAR @ 12:02
Webcam (7)
- The 1080p webcam does the bare minimum. It is good enough for occasional calls but not ideal for content creators ▶ ROG Strix G16 2025 Review: RTX 5070 + Ultra 9 for ₹2.29L — T @ 8:11
- The webcam quality is pretty good, but it has quite a bit of smearing. ▶ Asus ROG STRIX G18 (2025) REVIEW - Gaming Laptop, or Portabl @ 6:09
- the 2 MP webcam is very, very average ▶ Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 2025 - it looks awesome! @ 4:27

- Only 1080p webcam ▶ 2025 Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 Review @ 11:23

- Webcam image quality issues (noise, trails) ▶ 50-series laptops are here! - 2025 ROG Strix SCAR @ 12:45
Graphics (7)
- RTX 5080 with 16 gig of VRAM can draw up to 175 watt and in term of raw power is only about 10% better than the 4080 and slightly ahead of the 4090 ▶ WHO NEEDS A $5000 LAPTOP? - ROG Strix Scar 18 (2025) Review @ 6:30
- It is not quite as good as the RTX 4080 ▶ ROG Strix G16 2025 Review: RTX 5070 + Ultra 9 for ₹2.29L — T @ 2:15
- the RTX 5090 is barely able to edge out its predecessor ▶ The Best & Worst of RTX 5000 Laptops - ROG Strix SCAR 16 & 1 @ 6:45
- What they didn't have control over, unfortunately, is the RTX 5000 series and all the little hiccups it seems to be going through both on the desktop and now on the laptop side ▶ The Best & Worst of RTX 5000 Laptops - ROG Strix SCAR 16 & 1 @ 16:50
- Turn RTX on and the frame rate drops to the high 30s ▶ Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 (2025) | RTX 5080 | The Fastest Lapto @ 2:11

- Spider-Man 2 run into some issues with recent updates ▶ This Ryzen 9955HX3D Laptop Has Desktop Power! 2025 ROG STRIX @ 9:49
- for some reason when using DirectX11, the game kept crashing. So, I had to switch to the DirectX12 and that just ran completely fine. ▶ Best Gaming Laptop of 2025? ASUS ROG Strix G18 Review @ 5:55
- not the biggest fan of Armory Crate. It kind of feels bloated and it's not very simple to use, and most of the settings never really save, especially with the lighting. They kind of just do their own thing, like turn on in the middle of the night ▶ Fastest Gaming Laptop I've Ever Tested! - ROG Strix Scar 16 @ 1:52
- it's eye searingly bright at the highest setting, and you'll need to control it through Armory Crate. My god, what a bloated mess that's become. It's like the ROG team purposely did everything they shouldn't do with software and said, Yep, let's roll with this and call it a day ▶ The Best & Worst of RTX 5000 Laptops - ROG Strix SCAR 16 & 1 @ 16:19
