Pros and Cons

Asus ROG Strix SCAR 15 G533

Strengths

A total upgrade from the G532 with a lot of exciting features and gaming firepower to offer for what it is priced at.
The design updates are really good, making it look very presentable on a workspace.
The 15.6 inch full HD display with 300Hz refresh rate panel has excellent color accuracy and brightness.
The loudspeaker is one of the best I've heard on a gaming laptop, sounding better than MacBook Pro speakers.
The keyboard layout is great with dedicated volume keys and a microphone mute button.
The trackpad has good tracking performance and capacitive numpad which doesn't accidentally turn on when typing.
The ROG Keystone saves system profiles and enables a hidden secure drive for storing files (useful for owners of other ROG gaming systems).
The laptop's battery life is hands down the best I've ever come across, lasting 7 hours in power saving mode.

Weaknesses

The scalper prices of GPUs are extremely expensive and don't make sense to pay for.
There's still no webcam on this laptop (but a smartphone camera can be used as a workaround).
The keyboard area remains pretty cool even when the laptop is on full load.
The fans dissipate heat through the left and right vents, causing discomfort when gaming.
CPU temperatures average around 67°C in performance mode.
No USB ports are available on the right side, requiring dongles for connecting devices.
There's no teleport support on the USB-C port on the rear (although charging over USB PD is supported).
Microsoft's Flight Simulator scored an average of 37 frames per second on high-end graphics settings.

Asus ZenBook 13 UX334

Strengths

The laptop has a gorgeous display with minimal bezels, making it compact and beautiful to look at.
The keyboard is decent, with fine keystrokes and 1.4 mm key travel, although some may find it lacking in responsiveness.
The ScreenPad+ is a treat to use, offering a mobile-like experience, allowing you to launch apps, set custom shortcuts, and more.
The laptop features an eighth-generation Intel i7 chip, paired with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of PCIe SSD, making it a powerful device for light tasks.
Battery life is decent, with around 5 hours of use including web browsing, streaming, and two displays running simultaneously.
The compact charger takes just under two hours to fully juice the laptop, which is convenient.

Weaknesses

The touchpad on the ScreenPad+ can be laggy, making it difficult to register taps accurately.
The audio setup is not great, with flat sound, no bass, and hushed vocals, making it unsuitable for music or video playback.
The speakers are not loud enough, and the bottom-firing design doesn't enhance the sound quality.
The ScreenPad+ can be a mixed bag, offering some benefits but also drawbacks in terms of usability.
The previous generation UX333 offered better value for money, making it a more attractive option for some users.
Some may find the lack of significant upgrades from the previous generation disappointing, especially considering the price.
