■ The Strix Scar 16 (2024) doesn’t feature any radical design changes. The keyboard deck has a fingerprintresistant finish. The 16-inch QHD+ ROG Nebula HDR Mini LED display offers 1100 nits of brightness, 240Hz peak refresh rate and delivers 100 per cent DCI-P3 colour gamut.

■ If it’s a Strix, it has to have the latest and greatest gaming hardware and the G634JZR model we tested comes with an i9 14900HX processor with an RTX 4080 GPU. It supports up to 4TB PCIe 4x4 SSD and up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM. A MUX switch and Nvidia Advanced Optimus let you extract the best out of the machine.
