Killer queen...

We got hands on the first unit of the Scar 17 X3D courtesy AMD and can't stop drooling all over it

TESTED ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR17 X3D

■ Coming in at a not-so-featherlight 3 kilograms, this laptop makes a grand entrance with specs that'll make your gamer heart skip a beat. We are talking mainly about the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D chip that creates 3D voodoo for the games that support it. It is the first mobile processor with stacked L3 cache, delivering unmatched 144 MB of on-chip memory..

■ In terms of design, it’s pure Asus. It looks and feels like a tank! The lid sports the etched Asus ROG logo and there’s RGB lighting that surrounds the beast. Open it up though and you’re greeted to a nicely laid out full-sized keyboard and a big enough touchpad, but what greets you is that gorgeous 240Hz QHD display. It’s an IPS panel though and not the Nebula HDR magic that I personally love.
