Asus launches ROG Strix SCAR II and Hero II

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has announced Strix SCAR II and Hero II. The power-packed esports gaming laptops follow up to the successful e-sports gaming laptops built exclusively for FPS and MOBA titles. The ultimate gaming experience awaits with 144Hz Refresh Rate accompanied with RangeBoost technology and HyperStrike Pro keyboard enhancing durability, stability and awe-inspiring designs.

Arnold Su, ROG & PC Head, ASUS India, says, “We are extremely excited to introduce the two new and formidable e-sports gaming laptops to our growing gamers tribe. SCAR II and HERO II are crafted to perfection, keeping in mind the unique preferences of gamers, providing a robust performance and awe-inspiring aesthetics. We are certain that the power-packed laptops will be a hit amongst the gamers and look forward to an affirmative response.”

Enjoy fast-paced and action-packed gaming, as both ROG Strix SCAR II and Hero II flaunt the world's first-ever 144Hz super-narrow-bezel display with an ultrafast 3ms GTG response time. Thus, visuals are super-smooth and clear, taking the gaming experience to the next level.

Both Strix SCAR II and Hero II feature a gaming keyboard with HyperStrike Pro technology for decisive command and control. 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, and N-key rollover technology. The keyboard is durable, too, with a 20-million-key-press lifespan.
 

ROG Strix Scar II and Hero II come with the latest RangeBoost zero blind spot technology. Via the proprietary 4 antenna configuration, which is 2x2 + 2x2 connection mode, the laptop can switch between different main and aux antenna, after gauging the strength of the signal. Thus, while the radiation pattern is optimized for the laptops, the blind spots are reduced, providing gamers a seamless experience.
 

Players interested in FPS and MOBA games can now flaunt their gaming skills as both, ROG Strix Scar II and Hero II laptops exude impressive gaming performance required for esports. ROG has wielded the power of GTX 1060 from NVIDIA with 6GB VRAM and GTX1070 with 8GB VRAM to ensure the same.

The HyperCool Pro thermal system provides the cooling performance to get the most out of the laptop’s high-performance CPU and GPU. An extended cooling plate soaks up heat and spreads it evenly to avoid thermal throttling and keep chipset power components below 90°C, while two high-performance 12V fans deliver stronger airflow and increased air pressure to cool the CPU and GPU and drive hot air out of the chassis.
