After refreshing its ROG Strix and TUF gaming laptops with the latest components from Intel and AMD earlier this year, Asus has now announced two new laptops in the premium segment. The new ROG Flow X16 and Strix Scar 17 SE (Special Edition) come with the latest AMD and Intel processors, RTX GPUs and more. So let's check out the details below.

Asus introduced the ROG Strix Scar 17 2022 Edition at CES earlier this year. However, the Strix Scar 17 SE or Special Edition comes with even more powerful internals and advanced specifications compared to the previous model.

Starting with the design, Asus has always been creative with the exterior design of its premium laptops, and the story is no different with the Strix Scar 17 SE. On its top cover is a text-based design with a special invisible ink developed by Asus. In normal lighting, the design looks muted, but under a blue LED or UV light, it glows in a green-blue color theme. Asus will also include a compact UV torch in the box of the special edition Strix Scar 17. Also, by taking a closer look at the design, users can reveal a secret message for a mini-game called SCAR Runner.

When it comes to the display, it comes with a 17.3-inch Full HD 360Hz display or a QHD 240Hz panel. Under the hood, the Strix Scar 17 features the latest 12th generation Intel Core i9-12950HX, which Intel introduced earlier this month for content creators. It has a base TDP of 55W and comes with 16 cores and 24 threads to deliver powerful performance with up to 175W of power.
