Asus unveils the ROG Strix SCAR 17 Special Edition: performance first


Asus renews its ROG Strix SCAR 17 SE with the latest components and a better cooling system to bet even more on in-game performance.

In mid-May, Intel unveiled a new range of processors designed to improve the performance level of the largest portable PCs, the Intel HX. Manufacturers can now upgrade their most capable chassis to incorporate these new processors. This is the case of Asus which unveils the brand new ROG Strix Scar 17 SE 2022, a few months after the launch of the Scar 15 2022.
