That’s why, at this point, our findings are mostly what you should expect from this series long-term, with little that could still change with further updates. I also took my time with this review and waited for a few weeks after launch so more mature drivers and BIOS versions would be available. Everything else is rather similar, though, that’s why I was curious to see how this more affordable model compares to its higher-tier kin in terms of everyday feel, performance, and thermals. There’s a standard rubber-dome keyboard on the G17, and not the mechanical keyboard from the Scar, and there’s also a difference in materials, audio, and RGB elements between the two. Now, the Strix G17 and the Strix SCAR 17 are also different in a couple of other ways. In comparison, the 3070 variant of the ROG SCar 17 starts at $2200, with a Ryzen 9 processor, while the 3080 version starts at $2600. At the time of this review, the Ryzen 7 + RTX 3070 version of the Strix G17 goes for $1799 in the US, and around 1800-2000 EUR over here in Europe. This combo makes a lot of sense on a full-size gaming laptop these days, coming close in performance to something like the ROG Scar 17 built on a Ryzen 9 + RTX 3080, but with a much lower price-tag.
