The trackpad also felt good, it has glowing touch numpad installed in it and this is so clever thing that Asus has done with their premium line of ZenBook laptops.

ASUS has installed all-in with the Scar III variant, it is powered by a Core i7-9750H 8-core processor, a full-sized RTX 2060 GPU, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD. The laptop can carry every task that we through on this. I myself use Acer’s Helios Predator 300 2018 Edition that too works fine, and right now with the Scar III, it is super helpful to carry the load of different case scenarios.

During the heavy performance, the laptop worked nice. It was taking around 100-90fps and near around fps during the gaming performance. I’ve tested the Far Cry 5 and other games too, they worked fine. But speaking of price, I won’t recommend this on the with respect to price. I would love to make the desktop CPU with same specs and get more performance for heavy usage rather than having this heavy portable machine.

You can easily play games on this in between 90-130 FPS at ultra settings, you can also use the turbo mode for the actual gameplays and editings.

ROG Scar III G531GV Review: Battery

This Scar III comes with a 66WHr, 4-cell battery. It is just an average battery for this kind of machines. You are gonna need spare power all the time for intense workload in our suggestion. It can easily last upto 3-4hrs of decent usage and around 1 hour in heavy usage.
