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 14 9440

Strengths

This thing is going to be plenty fast for anybody that uses it.
It does the XPS line Justice, a fabulous computer!
Memory on this thing is baked in, but you can upgrade the storage which is nice.
The IO is fantastic with micro SD card, USB 3, TR rrr r s Jack and additional two Thunderbolt ports.
You get all day of practical use with the battery life
The XPS line has always been one Cut Above the Inspiron line, it's Dell's premium line
It's a great computer, not bad and I would absolutely recommend it to anybody looking for a high-end fabulous 14in laptop

Weaknesses

This thing is just kind of hindered a little bit compared to other computers.
I'm struggling by how much better than an inspir on this is for literally like two or three times the cost
It's not the thinnest lightest most best engineered product, made however of some very premium materials
You can't upgrade the memory but you can upgrade the storage which might be a con for some users.
The hinge feels great it's robust and strong, but that's expected from a high-end laptop like this.
It doesn't have any features that make it stand out significantly from other laptops
Compared to Apple MacBook Pro m4s or 13.6 in MacBook Air it's not necessarily the better option
