Very nice display like its clear, color accurate, and gets VERY bright like this is the brightest screen ive seen in a laptop and thats great. Runs smoothly no thermal throttling although it does get pretty hot during gaming. I played on turbo mode. When my rooms warm or even hot during summer it peaks at 95C for the cpu and 80 gpu but still runs smooth surprisingly. Build quality could be better. I can hear and feel the plastic creak as i open the lid. For some reason the whole laptop chassis is kinda bent and crooked.

If I had to sum up the ROG Strix SCAR 16 G635LW in one phrase, it’d be this: an absolute performance beast. Whether I’m deep into AAA gaming or juggling heavy creative workloads, this thing doesn’t flinch. It’s built for people who want zero compromises—speed, graphics, thermals, all top-tier.
What I love most is how it strikes a rare balance—it’s powerful enough to replace a desktop, yet still manageable to carry around if needed. The 16-inch form factor hits that sweet spot for screen real estate without being unreasonably bulky.
There are a few trade-offs, of course. It’s not exactly lightweight, and yeah, it’s a premium machine with a price tag to match. Also, some early software quirks (especially with drivers) needed a bit of patience. But honestly, that’s par for the course with bleeding-edge hardware.
Overall, this is a dream setup for gamers, content creators, or anyone who just wants top-of-the-line performance in a laptop. It’s fast, it’s beautiful, and it doesn’t make you choose between power and portability.

All in all, it isn't a bad machine. However, it has issues downloading and staying connected to the Internet. I checked my line, and it isn't on my end, so it must be the machine. I have used various programs, and it is the same thing, dropped lines and/or slow response. Other than that, I really enjoy the machine and how it can handle processing multiple things at a time, it is just the Internet thing.

I feel like I am holding a PC in my hand with all the things I am able to do. The speed on these laptop is incredible. The only thing I don't like is the battery time which I can only get 4 hours of usage but other than that, it is a great laptop
