Pros and Cons

Asus ROG Strix SCAR 18

Strengths

This thing is special. I It really is special.
It's got all the ports, all the connectivity, all the beautiful stuff
Playing games on this is just it's legendary, especially with that 240 Hz refresh rate
It's a fantastic laptop, and it's nice because you got the two USBAs on the right hand side

Weaknesses

It's expensive. Like I said, this as configured, this one's $33.99. It goes up like $4,400.
I wish it had a media card slot. That would be more helpful if you want to do video editing
Nobody, not everybody's going to go out and drop four grand, five grand, three grand on a gaming laptop
But I think the 30 the 5080 is perfectly fine, which still costs $3,399

Asus ProArt PX13

Strengths

A culmination of years of managing to miniaturize and make processors more efficient, you can get this much horsepower in a convertible 13in laptop.
The pen support is great for creative types who need to do selections, outlines, rough sketching, all that sort of thing, and note taking.
A very tactile keyboard, it's white backlit, not gaming perky RGB or something like that but tactile nice to type on.
Ports are not constrained in the least bit despite the small size, you've got HDMI 2.1 frl, a usba port, two USBC 4.0 40 gbit per second ports, and a Micro SD card slot.
Stereo drivers surrounding Harmon Card certified, pretty good sound given the size of the laptop actually
The SSD is a Western Digital SN 740 SSD, it's socketed Wi-Fi card is Wi-Fi 7 here with Bluetooth on board, and Ram like I said is soldered on board so you won't be upgrading them.
The price is not that bad, it's $1700 for the 4050 model, and $2000 for the 4060 model with 2 terabytes instead of the 4050 and one terabyte.

Weaknesses

Battery life is a concern, averaging about 8 hours for light use like web browsing and stuff like that, which is not as good as the latest surface laptop running a Snapdragon processor.
The trackpad is in haptic, but it's a shame given the tier that this is in, it works though it's fine
Given the x86 architecture, it may not beat the M3 or the Snapdragon platform in 2024 when it comes to battery life
Removing the bottom cover could be even worse than it is, with only a few Torx T6 screws holding it together.
The charging connector on this is a small rectangular one that uses 200 watts, which is beyond the remit of USBC if you want to run this thing at full power
It's not the skinniest laptop out there, but it's not so different from a 13-in MacBook Pro when it comes to that either
Averaging about 8 hours for light use like web browsing and stuff like that with the brightness set to 200 nits is passable but not exactly impressive
