ASUS has officially launched two new gaming laptops in Vietnam: the ROG Strix Scar II and ROG Strix Hero II. These laptops replace last year’s successful models, targeting gamers who demand high performance and portability in a mid-range gaming laptop. These are also the first ASUS laptops to incorporate a “Cyberpunk” aesthetic with a “Rock Solid” design, reflecting the bold and rebellious style of the Strix line.

ROG Strix Scar II: Built for High-Intensity Gaming

The ROG Strix Scar II targets gamers who enjoy demanding AAA titles and competitive online games like Battlefield 1, PUBG, and Overwatch. It achieves this with high-end specifications, including GTX 1060 or GTX 1070 graphics cards paired with cutting-edge Intel Core i7 Coffee Lake processors.

ROG Strix Hero II: Optimized for MOBA

ASUS designed the ROG Strix Hero II for MOBA enthusiasts. It offers a slightly more streamlined configuration compared to the Scar II.

Advanced Cooling and Display Technology

Both laptops feature ASUS’s latest gaming laptop technologies, including the new HyperCool Pro dual-fan cooling system. This system increases airflow by 43% compared to previous generations, thanks to two powerful 12V fans. Users can adjust fan speeds with preset profiles like Silent Mode, Balanced Mode, and OverBoost.

A standout feature of this year’s ASUS gaming laptops is the high-quality display with ultra-thin bezels. These cutting-edge IPS panels boast a 144Hz refresh rate and a 3ms response time, all while maintaining a slim profile.

Enhanced Connectivity

ASUS has also equipped these laptops with a redesigned quad-antenna Wi-Fi system. This innovative design expands Wi-Fi range by up to 30% compared to other laptops, providing consistent and stable connectivity regardless of the user’s position relative to the access point. This improvement stems from a more omnidirectional signal coverage compared to traditional antenna designs.

Pricing and Availability

The ROG Strix Scar II is available in two configurations. The version with a 512GB SSD and a GTX 1070 GPU is priced at 61,990,000 VND. A more affordable option with a 128GB SSD and a GTX 1060 GPU is available for 44,990,000 VND. The ROG Strix Hero II is expected to launch soon.

The ROG Strix Scar II and Hero II represent ASUS’s continued commitment to delivering high-performance gaming laptops. With their powerful hardware, advanced cooling solutions, and stunning displays, these laptops are poised to be a top choice for gamers seeking a competitive edge. The varying configurations and price points cater to different budgets and gaming needs, making the Strix line accessible to a wider audience.
