Gaming laptop ASUS ROG Strix 17 i7 9th/32GB/1TB/2070/144H

The ASUS ROG Strix SCAR III G731GW is a serious 17.3" gaming laptop from the ROG Strix SCAR line, built for people who want a big screen, strong performance and a real gaming feel.

A proper gaming machine with powerful cooling, an aggressive ROG design and hardware that still handles plenty of modern games, graphics software and demanding work without trouble.

This model is especially interesting because it comes with a large 17.3" Full HD IPS 144Hz display, which makes it far more pleasant for gaming, work and multimedia than the usual 15.6" laptops. The bigger screen gives you a much better feel in games, a clearer workspace and more comfortable use, without needing to hook up an external monitor right away.

It's a rare model on our market, especially in this configuration with the RTX 2070 8GB graphics and 32GB of RAM.

The heart of the laptop is the Intel Core i7-9750H, a six-core processor with 12 threads that is still very usable for gaming, running several programs at once, photo editing, AutoCAD, graphics tools and heavier multitasking.

With 32GB of RAM the laptop has plenty of room for multitasking and smooth gaming.

A fast 1TB NVMe SSD rounds out the configuration. The system is quick, games load much faster than off a regular hard drive, and the capacity is large enough that you won't need to think about extra storage straight away.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 with 8GB of GDDR6 memory is a serious graphics card for the laptop class. It's aimed at users who want high performance in games, plus support for newer technologies like ray tracing and DLSS in the games that support them. With 8GB of video memory it has enough room for textures and more demanding graphics settings, which is a big advantage over weaker cards with 4GB or 6GB.

The RTX 2070 is excellent for Full HD gaming, especially paired with the large 17.3" 144Hz screen. In a lot of games it allows high settings and very good FPS, and in e-sport titles it can make great use of the fast display.

Note: the screen has a few faint purplish spots/shadows that are only noticeable on dark backgrounds. In everyday use, on light backgrounds, while working and with most content, they aren't obvious. The laptop works normally, the screen is 17.3" Full HD IPS 144Hz, and this cosmetic flaw is already factored into the price.

Decently kept laptop with signs of use on the screen housing. Comes with a charger.
