Aha! There they are! Back at Computex 2018, ROG announced the new Strix SCAR II and Hero II gaming laptops which are meant for FPS and MOBA games respectively. They both have their own differences which differentiate them from each other, since FPS and MOBA will benefit from different kinds of hardware.
These powerful gaming laptops have an all-new compact design and front light bar with customizable Aura Sync lighting. Both laptops feature the world’s first 144Hz super-narrow-bezel display with an ultrafast 3ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time, a HyperStrike Pro gaming keyboard for improved control, and HyperCool Pro technology to cool their high-performance CPU and GPU. They are also the world’s first laptops to feature multi-antenna Wi-Fi for improved connectivity.
For maximum advantage in fast-paced games, Strix SCAR II and Hero II boast the world’s first 144Hz super-narrow-bezel display with 3ms GTG response time. The 144Hz panel and 3ms response time ensures smooth and clear visuals.
They are lighter, too, with an overall weight of just 2.4kg for gaming on the go. A unique rubber frame surrounds the display to protect it from damage when the lid is closed.
Both Strix SCAR II and Hero II feature a gaming keyboard with HyperStrike Pro technology. The keyboard has a desktop-inspired layout, including four hotkeys, customizable Aura Sync-compatible RGB backlighting across four zones, and ergonomically-designed keys with 0.25mm-deep keycap curves.
Exclusive ROG Overstroke technology enables earlier key actuation, and has a longer overstroke distance for fast, accurate and effortless keystrokes. The keyboard has specially-highlighted WASD (for SCAR II) or QWER (for Hero II) key groups with transparent key caps.
Another interesting feature is the ROG RangeBoost technology for zero WiFi dead spots. SCAR II and Hero II are the world’s first gaming laptops to feature multi-antenna WiFi for more stable online gaming. Patented ROG RangeBoost technology uses a combination of four antennas — located at the front and back of the laptop — with a unique algorithm that constantly scans and selects the best pair of antennas to cover dead spots.
The new HyperCool Pro thermal solution is going to cool the components vigorously and keep them below 90°C with two 12V fans to cool it down. It also has the patented Anti-Dust Cooling system.
The Overboost app, accessible by pressing FN + F5 or via the Gaming Center hotkey, can be used to select three different fan settings. Fan Overboost provides the fastest fan speed to fully utilize the power of Strix SCAR II and Hero II during intense gaming. Silent mode curbs fan speed and power consumption for less demanding tasks.
What about the availability? Well, one variant is available now, whereas others will have to wait until 1st July.
