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.

OnePlus 9 - You HAVE to settle

This is a review of the OnePlus 9 and its comparison to the OnePlus 9 Pro and 8 Pro. This blog also includes discussion related to the missing OIS in OnePlus. Hardware There is a lot to like about this phone. I love the fact that it has a flat-screen and this was going to be my preferred phone instead of the 9 Pro but that may have changed. So the speakers are as good as the 9 Pro ones. They are not as good as gaming phones but, they're good. There is a solid 7-8 hours of battery life. There is a wireless charger but, with less but, still enough power. The battery is much more consistent than the battery on 9 Pro because of the high refresh rate in the Pro version. The Problem So I was sure that the OnePlus 9 camera was going to as good as the 8 Pro if not better. But, for some reason, OnePlus decide to remove optical image stabilization. This may sound very small but, the difference is huge and every OnePlus phone has had it till this one. Which 730$ does not have OIS. I am really...

Intel's Trap

 This is my blog to review Acer Triton 300 SE, Asus Dash F15 and MSI Stealth 15M's performance with the Intel H35 chips. I will also talk about the competition between Intel and AMD. Many gaming laptops are coming out, and some of them are good, especially the new AMD ones but if you are looking to buy a laptop and your choice has an Intel chip; You have been fooled! So I am going to talk about some new Intel devices and then about Intel in general. Now I have nothing against Intel, in fact, I myself am typing this on an Intel device. Asus Dash F15 This machine has a 4-core CPU. So, this makes it easy to cool, lighter, thinner, and you would think cheaper. So it is a nice idea. But, Asus didn't make it cheap. So it does not really make sense anymore. This laptop will cost you 1700$, and you can get 8-core Asus devices in that range so why would somebody go for this?  The gaming performance is good as it has RTX 3070, and most of the games will give you a good frame...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+

 Hey Guys, Welcome back to Interesting Intelligence! This is my review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+. iPad's competitor? If you would have asked me some time before that "Which is the best tablet", I would have undoubtedly said "iPad Pro", but now we have competition! Samsung Galaxy S7+ is surely the best android tablet and a toe-to-toe competitor of the iPad. It is, in fact, the more practical choice for many people. The hardware specs on this thing are solid! There are two speakers on each side of the tablet and this thing is awesome for anything which has something to do with audio! Screen, Pen and Keyboard. S7+ has a 120Hz panel and because it has a high refresh rate, things look superfluid. I have said before that refresh rate should not be a major reason to buy a smartphone but it definitely is in tablets because of the electronic pen. The pen on this device is also up to the point. There are only 7 milliseconds of latency. The pen magnetically sticks on ...
