For 2023, ROG has included the latest hardware from its partners on all of our models.

2023 STRIX lineup
The Strix SCAR 16 and 18 have been renamed, thanks to a chassis redesign that accommodates the larger 16-inch and 18-inch 16:10 aspect-ratio screens. These 16- and 18-inch panels allow gamers to see the enemy more clearly than ever before, and the 16-inch model can even be equipped with ROG’s new QHD, 240Hz Nebula HDR display with Mini LED technology. ROG has also improved the cooling performance of this new chassis, allowing more headroom for the CPU and GPU to boost for maximum frame rates.
The new Strix G16 and Strix G18 are equipped with the same 13th Gen Intel Core i9 13980HX processor, and can be configured with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU for excellent esports performance.
