Asus Scar 15- Gaming King?

 This is my review of the Asus Strix Scar 15. This is the best gaming laptop from Asus in terms of performance. The laptop comes with AMD Ryzen, RTX 3080, an Opti-Mechanical keyboard and RGB lighting.

Design

Asus has a lot of gaming laptops. They have a series called Strix, which solely focuses on performance and is thicker than the normal laptops. At the top of that series is the Scar. This laptop has somethings which are not there in any other laptops. Let's talk about the exterior of the device first. So it has the ROG logo, which lights up,, and you can choose the colour or choose to not light it up at all in the software. They have now included a back cap in three different colours to get bored looking at the same laptop every day. I just wish there would have been more bright colours and not black and grey only. This whole device is plastic,, including the keyboard deck, and Asus is excellent in using plastic.

Keyboard Deck

This laptop has good RGB lighting but, I think it was done better on last year's model. There is a translucent side of this laptop so you can actually look through the deck and it looks kinda cool but, it is very prone to fingerprints. Now, they keyboard is opta-mechanichal. There is a problem with it. It's very tactile so it's very loud. And in a sound-sensitive area you can get some bad looks.

Trackpad

So, the keyboard has a print screen key which I am glad about since most of the Asus devices don't have it anymore. The power button does not have a fingerprint sensor which came as a surprise to me. The trackpad is again quite loud and the right and left side of it are not divided anymore. The trackpad also has a num lock now if you want that. The laptop comes with a small connection called key stone. And when you insert it, your customized software comes into it. Its more gimmicky than useful but, its there if you like it.

Performace, Battery and Screen

This thing is stacked with all the good stuff for the performance. There are problems as well... This device cools just enough which is understandable as it is a 15' device which is not super-thick. They could have made the fans more louder but, you can do that yourself in the manual mode. There are still no ports on the right side of the device. The batter is 8-9 hours and its less because the screen is amazing. There is one problem that the GPU is not directly connected to the screen. It is a slight dip but, all the other high-end gaming laptops have directly connected the GPU. The screen is amazing. It is not unique but, I really like the refresh-rate and the resolution.





So, should you pay the extra 200$ for this gimmicky device. I think that decision should depend on the keyboard. You should got to the store and try it because some people love it and others hate it. This is priced at 1999$ for RTX 3080 which is reasonable for a high-end gaming laptop.

Apple's AirTags

This blog is to discuss if AirTags really prevent thefts... Misusage So I read a lot of theories on how these tags are actually helping in the thefts. So if you are a thief and stealing a bike with an AirTag, you get a notification on your iPhone and then you can easily disable that. But, it's not so easy. The Tag does not notify you that an AirTag is with you until you reach a landmark. So that the owner knows you stopped at that landmark. Maybe your house, mall or a restaurant. Now there is one problem with this. If I have an AirTag and I plant it in your bag for example. So you won't know something with a GPS is with you giving your location and telling the landmark you are at. So people can track you and that is both scary and creepy. Good or Bad? Eh.. A bit of both. So, it's great if someone is trying to steal your stuff but, it's creepy when someone is stalking your movement. But, this is the first time Apple is doing this so it is not perfect but, I believe it is...

Acer Nitro 5

Hey Guys! Welcome back to Interesting Intelligence! This is my review of the 2020 Acer Nitro 5. The cheapest gaming laptop with AMD Ryzen CPUs and up to an RTX 2060 for students and small budgets. This is a 670$ machine. The Acer Nitro Series has traditionally been very inexpensive and people have been interested in this device because of its price but this year they made very significant improvements. First, I am going to talk about some minor issues which you should be aware of. The first issue is the screen but the more important one is the keyboard. The screen is a 60Hz 1080p panel. It is the standard screen you would expect at this price. The colour accuracy is not great but it is okay for the price. My issue is the brightness and when you are playing shooter games, it is not easy to trace people in dim light. The second thing is the keyboard. I personally find it uncomfortable for gaming. I feel that the W, A, S, D keys are very close to the left side of the...

17' Razer Blade Pro 2019

 Hey Guys, Welcome back to Interesting Intelligence! This laptop is SO much better than the previous blade pro. The thermals are crazy good. I would say that it is their best gaming laptop with awesome thermal performance. This laptop is brand new from this year, It is completely redesigned. It is their most expensive, most powerful and the most big-screened gaming laptop and it's a nice looking unit. I like this laptop a lot, however, there are some things which I want you to know if you're interested in picking this thing up! 1) Hardware The build of this device is very similar to the build of the 15' this year. It's got the same kind of design, shape, the light-up snake logo up front. It is very much an updated Razer product. I highly recommend you for getting a case or skin it if you buy a black one because even with very safe handling this device sometimes has dents and they are very much visible on a black one.         This laptop is obviously big...
