Shortly after it was announced at CES 2019, the first wave of ASUS ROG gaming laptops carrying NVIDIA’s latest GeForfce RTX engines has finally reached the Philippines shores. Among the first batch of these new gaming machines is the ROG Strix Scar II.
Available in 15.6- and 17.3-inch, the ROG Strix Scar II comes with 144Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time. Both versions also boasts a shooter-inspired motif that uses splashes of camouflage accents. The highlighted WASD keys makes it easy to find the home row for FPS gaming.
