Asus has been a front runner in the gaming laptop competition for the past few years now, taking out stiff competition from many rather more “blue chip” competitors. The selling point for Asus has been the fact that while most gaming laptops feature the most high-end specs coupled with super bulky chassis, Asus ROG laptops have managed to keep things nice and sleek while still packing the biggest punch of them all, and with the Scar 2, they seek to keep this run going. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the all-new Asus ROG Strix Scar 2 –

Design –
Asus has been keeping things perfect with their design language and with the Scar 2, they don’t disappoint with a super hardcore brushed aluminum finish with a glowing ROG logo. We Also get the illuminated indicator lights along with the vents which completes an overall tantalizing look on the outside. The moment you open that lid, however, you will see what Asus has over its competitors. We have the multicolor backlight on the keyboard and a brown camo finish which just sweeps us off our feet. Add to that some really narrow bezels and you will really have to be super critical if you want to find something amiss. Yes, narrow bezels meant that Asus had to shift their webcam onto the lower bezel, but that is not a hinder at all.
Even when it comes to the overall external dimensions, the Scar 2 sits right in the sweet spot. Measuring 15.7 x 10.7 x 1 inch, the laptop is neither too thick nor too unnecessarily slim. It is just right for a gaming laptop and absolutely accommodates all required ports and features with ease.
Ports –
One of the most defining features ion a full-fledged gaming laptop is the ports. In this department too, the Scar 2 has got you covered. On the left-hand side, we have the power jack, the RJ45 port, a Mini DisplayPort 1.4, an HDMI 2.0 port, three USB 3.1 ports, and a headphone jack.
