Pros and Cons

Asus ROG Strix SCAR 18

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

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
