Question 2021 Asus ROG Strix: G17 Vs Scar

[PuppyBoss]

I need help in deciding between 2 laptops. I live in the UK, & I'm in the market for the new RTX 3070 laptops from Asus. As I want 17 inch laptops only, my options are the ROG Strix G17 (manufacturer code G713QR-HG021T) & the ROG Strix Scar (manufacturer code G733QR-HG001T).

I am attaching links for the models below:

ROG Strix G17: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/173...6gb-ddr4-1tb-nvme-ssd-8gb-rtx-3070-win10-home

ROG Strix Scar: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/173...00h-16gb-ddr4-1tb-nvme-ssd-8gb-rtx-3070-win10


Both are nearly the same specs. Common to both are:
Ryzen 7 5800H CPU
2x 8GB RAM (guessing 3200mhz)
3070 GPU (don't know if they are max P, bit I'm hoping they are)
1 TB M.2 SSD
300Hz 3ms screen

The Strix Scar is £100 more expensive than the Strix G17. I don't really know what the difference between the 2 is. I just know the Scar has a keystone, which I don't really use or need. I kinda need the laptop soon, but there are no reviews of them yet (no comparisons between them). Do you know what the difference between them are, & if the Scar has any advantage over the G17? Because I don't mind paying £100 extra is it's a better product.

Also, can anyone confirm that all models of the G17 & Scar have the max P version of the GPU? I have this doubt because all videos & review of the 2 laptops in the US show it as having a Ryzen 5900H, whereas UK models only come with 5800H.

Eagerly awaiting responses. Thank you

There is no such thing as max q or p this time around. It's all based on TDP that is set by the vendor. The only Asus laptop to have a full power gpu is the Flow X13 with 150W. All other models are 115W + 15W boost and lower.

I've just purchased the Asus Rog Strix G17 G713QR-HG021T and works fine so far.

The SCAR version has a mechanical keyboard and an extra pair of tweeters for sounds, so if like those then probably is the better one to buy.

If you don't like mechanical keyboard sounds and uses a headset instead of the speakers, then G17 will be the one to buy

Thank you. I gotta wait for 6 weeks for stocks to arrive. Can't wait!
