Minden cikkünk a 175w címkével

18-inch monster laptops should be the most powerful, right? Well, they should, but today we might see a battle that will go against the grain, as the SCAR family from ASUS goes head to head. These are two identical laptops that bring the best cooling and power that ASUS ROG has to offer. The sole difference between them is the chassis size, so it will be interesting to see what an effect that has on overall usability. We'll compare the design, to see if there are any weak spots, check out the keyboards, displays, I/O, and more. Both laptops are powered by the Core i9-14900HX, as well as either an RTX 4080 or an RTX 4090, running at a whopping 175W. We're very excited to see how the cooling will perform and if the extra space inside the SCAR 18 will deliver additional airflow and lower temperatures.

Inside, you find the laptops themselves, a 330W power adapter, as well as an ROG backpack to carry your laptop around. Depending on your region, the package can also contain the ROG Fusion II 300 headphones, an ROG Gladius III P514 Mouse, or a 100W Type-C travel adapter. ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (G834, 2024) ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634, 2024) Charger power 330W 330W Design and construction On the outside, the laptops look pretty much identical, with RGB on the front, the back, and the lid (also on the keyboard). In terms of dimensions, the 18-inch laptop is noticeably heavier (450 grams / 1 lbs). In terms of thickness, there's pretty much no difference, as both laptops are around 30 mm (1.18") thick at the back, which is chunky. ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (G834, 2024) ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634, 2024) Weight 6.8 lbs (3.10 kg) 5.8 lbs (2.65 kg) Dimensions 15.71" x 11.57" x 0.91" (399 x 294 x 23.1 - 30.8 mm) 13.94" x 10.39" x 0.89" (354 x 264 x 22.6 - 30.4 mm) Keyboard and touchpad The SCAR 18 brings a lot more space on the base, which allows it to have a NumPad and still deliver large arrow keys. The SCAR 16 lacks a classic NumPad, however, gives you a NumberPad, a digital version that appears over the touchpad, so you can still have this functionality. Key travel, feedback, and touchpad quality are the same between the two laptops. The input devices are great for gaming and overall typing. Ports The port selection is the same between the two laptops. You get plenty of USBs, an HDMI connection, and a LAN port, which is great if you want to have a hard-wired connection.

The display on the SCAR 16 is sharper, thanks to the smaller screen size.

The brightness and contrast are close to even, while the color temperature of the SCAR 18 is slightly warmer. Overall, the uniformity of the brightness is low, which means that the displays are evenly lit across the entire screen area.

The whole "sail-shaped" map below consists of all the colors we can see, while the black crooked line shows all the colors from real-world scenes and nature around us. Then, we've drawn some of the most important and interesting color spaces, compared to the colors that the panels of the laptops can display: Standard/For Web: sRGB - widely used color space for most consumer devices, ideal for Web design and development For Print: AdobeRGB - used in professional photo editing, graphic design, and print For Photographers/Video Editors: DCI-P3 - used in high-end film production, post-production, and digital cinema Premium HDR: Rec.2020 - the widest consumer ITU color standard, covering a massive 75.8% of the visible spectrum, a benchmark for premium HDR content The yellow dotted line shows the color coverage of the ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (G834, 2024) and the ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634, 2024). Both laptops cover the entire sRGB and DCI-P3 gamuts, resulting in a vibrant image with tons of colors. This makes the laptops suitable for creator work, especially with the color accuracy that's achievable. ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (G834, 2024) ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634, 2024) sRGB 100% 100% DCI-P3 100% 100% Color accuracy Now let's see how big the difference is between the real colors and the ones you’ll see on the three laptops. We measure that distance in DeltaE – the bigger the number, the more different they look. For the next illustration, we’ve chosen 24 common colors like dark and light skin, blue sky, green grass, etc. Below you can see the results of the two laptops with our Web Design and Office Work profile applied. The ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (G834, 2024) is the more accurate of the two, with a dE value of 0.9. ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (G834, 2024) 18.0″ BOE NE180QDM-NM1 (BOE0C58) (2560×160) Mini LED IPS: Buy our profiles ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634, 2024) 16.0″ BOE NE160QDM-NM7 (BOE0C24) (2560×1600) Mini LED IPS: Buy our profiles PWM Both panels utilize PWM for brightness adjustment. PWM are pulsations of the backlight, which are used so your eyes perceive the display as dim, as less overall light enters your eyes. In the tests, the frequency of the flickering is a bit low, so your eyes will get tired the longer you use the laptop, so take often breaks. Sound You can see how close the audio charts are. Well of course they would be, considering that the two laptops have the same speaker setup, with two speakers on the rear and two on the front, providing great audio that really feels like surround sound. Performance - CPU, GPU, Gaming, Storage Below we've highlighted the configurations that we've tested. Specification ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (G834, 2024) ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634, 2024) Processor Intel Core i9-14900HX Intel Core i9-14900HX GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 (Laptop, 175W) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 (Laptop, 175W) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 (Laptop, 175W) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 (Laptop, 175W) CPU benchmarks Testing the same CPU in what's pretty much the same cooling solution leads to rather similar performance. Interestingly enough, the SCAR 16 scores a tad higher, with a 1% higher score. GPU benchmarks Here the difference is negligible, with both laptops performing well. The SCAR 18 is 0.3% faster in 3DMark Time Spy and 1% faster in 3DMark Wild Life.

[eBook Guide + Tools] How to MAX OUT your Laptop Battery Despite carrying the same battery and internal components, the SCAR 16 endured for more during the Video playback test, with a 24.8% (1 hour 20 minutes) longer battery life. Cooling and temperatures, Gaming comfort The cooling solution is all the same, with the SCAR 18 naturally getting a bigger version, which should contribute to more cooling capacity. CPU stress test The SCAR 16's CPU maintains slightly higher clock speeds, at the same temperatures.

Verdict Choosing between these two laptops comes to be pretty easy, as they're pretty much identical. The only differences are in the dimensions (the SCAR 16 is significantly lighter), as well as with the keyboard, where the SCAR 18 gets a physical NumPad that you can work with faster and is more comfortable than the digital NumberPad of the SCAR 16. Also, the SCAR 16 lasts longer in our battery life tests, with an extra hour that can come in handy. In the end, the most important parts for gaming (the display, CPU, GPU) all perform rather evenly, so whichever one you get, you'll be happy. If you'll move around more often, the SCAR 16 will be easier to carry. If you're looking to replace your desktop with a laptop that you won't move from your desk, the SCAR 18 could be the option. In the end, check the pricing and pick whichever one's more affordable or pops up on sale.
