Sleek Design

An asymmetrical slash across the top features a dot matrix design adding a layer of style and is carried over to the rubberized underside of the Scar 15. Customizable RGB lighting is located along several edges of the Scar 15, offering a layer of personality. Additionally, a soft touch inside surface minimizes smudges and fingerprints to keep the Scar 15 looking fresh and clean all day long. The enlarged touchpad offers a bigger surface area for better operation.
Powered By NVIDIA
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card enables you to explore highly detailed environments and experience vast digital landscapes. You also unlock a slew of NVIDIA technologies that leverage the 3080’s RT and Tensor cores as well as Ampere Architecture for enhanced throughput. Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), Dynamic Boost 2.0, and Resizable BAR all work together to enhance the Scar 15’s gaming performance.
Enhanced Gaming Display
Experience vivid and smooth picture quality with the 15.6″ 1920 x 1080 display that can deliver up to 300 Hz refresh rate, making your competitive fast-paced gaming feel more natural. Adaptive-Sync technology prevents ghosting and hiccupping, reducing screen tearing for an even better gaming experience.
Cooling Capabilities
Liquid metal compound on the CPU improves heat transfer for easier dissipation, keeping your processor cool even when under heavy loads. Four fan outlets improve airflow and prevent thermal buildup while reducing noise.
Optical Mechanical Keyboard
Per-key Aura Sync illuminated keys provide you with customizable RGB colorization while delivering a lifespan up to 100-million keystrokes.
Clear Audio
Virtual 5.1.2-channel surround sound powered by Dolby Atmos technology puts you in the center of the action. Twin tweeters fire sound directly at you, while dual Smart Amp woofers bounce bass off the table. Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation removes excess noise from incoming and outgoing audio, making your multiplayer team chat, streaming, and other communications crystal clear.
Long-Lasting battery
Unplug and do more on the move with a high capacity 90Wh battery. Extend your battery life away from wall sockets with Type-C charging from compatible power packs. For everyday activities like web browsing and streaming video, you can work off an optional smaller USB-C adapter up to 100W and travel even lighter with a single charger for your laptop and phone.
Keystone II
Keystone II offers a versatile new way to personalize your machine and protect your personal data. These physical, NFC-enabled keys fit neatly into the chassis, adding a subtle accent along the trim. When docked, Keystones can unlock access to personalized settings that transform your machine, quick-launch apps or games of your choice, reveal a hidden Shadow Drive for covert private storage, and more.
ROG Armoury Crate Software
ROG Armoury Crate unifies system and lighting controls to put essential settings at your fingertips in a single utility. You can easily define and customize Scenario Profiles that automatically adjust when you launch your favorite titles. Pairing these customizations with the ROG Keystone II lets you quickly load your fine-tuned settings.
Windows 11 Home
A New Start Position
Windows 11 has been completely redesigned from its predecessor to emphasize productivity, creativity, and ease of use. The customizable Start Menu is now at the center of the taskbar and utilizes the cloud, allowing you to quickly find and access recent files, regardless of what platform or device was previously used to view them. The streamlined Start Menu design also lets you pin apps and recent files in addition to powering down the system.
Making Productivity a Snap
Multitask with speed and efficiency with the ability to snap apps side by side. Snap Layouts and Snap Groups help to keep your windows organized using different layouts that are designed to fully optimize your screen space, no matter its size and resolution. Windows 11 also remembers their positions, so you can resume from where you left off when selecting Snap Groups from the task bar, allowing you to switch between both individual applications and entire projects. Snap Layouts are also automatically restored when docking laptops with external monitors.
Microsoft Teams Integration
Stay connected with friends, family, coworkers, and clients with Microsoft Teams Chat integrated onto the Windows 11 taskbar. With a touch, you can connect to your contacts via text, voice, and video, regardless of whether they’re using Windows, Android, or iOS devices. You can also communicate with those who don’t have the Teams app installed using two-way SMS messaging.
Adapting to You
The Adaptive Input feature automatically optimizes the Windows 11 interface to however you prefer to interact with your device, whether it’s using a mouse, keyboard, touch, voice, or handwriting.
Next Level Gaming
Windows 11 is designed to deliver smooth, immersive gaming experiences with DirectX 12 Ultimate providing realistic graphics at high frame rates while Auto HDR automatically adjusts your game’s lighting and contrast for high dynamic range. DirectStorage technology streamlines data access to better take advantage of high-speed devices such as NVMe solid-state drives and directly from graphics cards without dragging down the CPU, which minimizes load times while helping to reduce artifacts such as texture popping. Topping it all off is Xbox Game Pass integration, which provides you with access to a massive library of games with a membership subscription.
Redesigned Microsoft Store
The Microsoft Store is rebuilt from the ground up for a streamlined experience when looking for content such as apps, games, movies, and shows. Apps downloaded from the Store have been tested for security and family safety. Android apps will also be available on the Microsoft Store through the Amazon Appstore and can be used directly on your PC from the taskbar or Start Menu.
