ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (2024)

This 18-inch flagship gaming laptop splits its USB-C duties: one Thunderbolt 4 port handles DisplayPort and G-SYNC at up to 40Gbps, while a separate USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port adds Power Delivery charging up to 100W alongside its own DisplayPort output. Wired networking runs over a fast 2.5G Ethernet jack, and an HDMI 2.1 port drives a 4K@120Hz external display. There is no SD card reader on this model, and primary charging uses the bundled 330W barrel adapter rather than USB-C. All I/O sits on the left and right edges, with nothing on the rear.
