Asus claims to be using a proprietary “HyperCool Pro Technology” consisting of radiators and metal heat dissipaters over the CPU, GPU, VRAM and VRMs to keep core components below 90 degrees Celsius at all times. The Scar II, being the more powerful of the two, will carry additional heat pipes to cool the mighty GTX 1070 GPU, hence resulting in a slightly more increased weight. Asus also claims the two laptops to be the World’s first gaming laptops with four antennas, two on the front, and two to the back, to boost speeds and stability. The laptop has RGB lighting in various places on the chassis including a light bar beneath the trackpad, a transparent set of ‘WASD’ keys for better lighting effects, and the ROG logo on the front is also backlit. The Scar II comes with a military camo finish on its chassis. The ROG Strix Gaming laptops are priced at $1699 (INR 1,14,000) and $1999 (INR 1,35,000) for the Hero and Scar respectively. The two laptops will be directly competing against offerings from other rival brands, like the MSI GS65, Gigabyte Aero 15X V8, Razer Blade 15 and the Dell XPS 15 9570.
