When choosing between the Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 and the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1, consider that the Asus offers higher performance suited for gaming, 3D modeling, and intensive engineering software, but at a higher cost and with less portability. The Dell, on the other hand, is more affordable, lightweight, and flexible as a 2-in-1 device, making it ideal for general use and on-the-go tasks, yet it may not handle demanding applications as well. If long battery life and carrying convenience are priorities, the Dell might be the better option, while the Asus is tailored for power users needing robust performance. Give Feedback

Vaidyanathan Subramaniam | May 2022
"Asus continues to refine the ROG Strix Scar lineup with new upgrades. The Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 offers almost everything you would expect from a gaming laptop at this price. The build quality is great, connectivity options are decent, and there is enough scope for internal upgrades as well. Asus reverts to membrane switches for the keyboard — though not as "clickety" as the opto-mechanical ones we saw with last year's model, they still make for a decent typing and gaming experience. The lack of biometrics in any form is a downer."
