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

Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320

Strengths

The integrated track pad with the palm rest has been a very successful experiment.
Great for office productivity work and burst speed applications
Nice and light, perfect for travel
Good performance for light gaming
Slim design makes it look pretty nice

Weaknesses

Touch sensitive keys could be improved with physical keys like escape and delete
Throttling occurs during heavy gaming due to thin chassis
Not ideal for data science or long sustained work
Performance could be better with more powerful processor
Some users may find the touch bar at top not intuitive
