I am a fan of this sort of simplified layout without a NumPad which centers the keyboard and clickpad in the middle of the chassis.ДЄs far as the typing experience goes, this is a fine everyday typer. ThereвЂ™s no dedicated NumPad, but touch NumPad like functionality is integrated within the clickpad. I would have preferred if Asus implemented Home/End/Pg/Up/PgDn in that right extra column, instead of media controls, but overall this is a good layout. This keyboard is in fact very similar to the one on the previous-gen ROG Strix G15 series, with a main deck of full-size keys, separated smaller arrows, and extra media functions at the right and at the top-left. Keyboard and trackpadДЄsus rolled back to a standard rubber-dome keyboard on the 2022 ROG Scar 15, after last yearвЂ™s experiment with the optomechanical switches wasnвЂ™t received very well. Overall, the Scar 15 design is an enjoyable and sturdily made product, but with quite a few quirks, so make sure youвЂ™re OK with them before deciding on it. IвЂ™m also not a fan of the bright status LEDs positioned right under the display, the always-on red light in the power button, the fact that the entire right side is reserved for the rather useless Keystone, or of that cut in the screenвЂ™s bottom bezel which shows whatвЂ™s behind the laptop. On the other hand, the plastic interior of this design is incredibly smudgy, so youвЂ™ll constantly have to wipe it clean. The chassis does get an extra hump on the back, though, for the ports, speakers, and cooling module, and everything adds up to a total weight of around 5.1 lbs for this tested configuration, which is not bad for a full-size computer. You can tell this Sc ar 15 is a compact footprint from the bezels around the screen. On top of these, Asus made sure to implement proper inputs, strong hinges, and powerful speakers, as well as a competent thermal design for a compact 15-inch chassis. It also offers good ergonomics and a fair selection of ports, most of them tucked away on the back edge, behind the screen. On the positive side, the Scar 15 is a very well-built product and has a unique design, a nice mix of clean aesthetics and RGB elements, all entirely controllable through software. YouвЂ™ll also find side-by-side pictures of the two in this previous look at the 2022 ROG Strix Scar lineup. The 15-inch Scar 15 is a more compact and lighter variation of the Scar 17 that weвЂ™ve already discussed in depth in this separate review. WeвЂ™ll follow up with reviews on other GPU configurations in the next couple of weeks, for the top-tier RTX 3080Ti model (Scar 15 G533ZX) and hopefully for the base-tier RTX 3060 (Scar 15 RTX G533ZM) model as well. This is pretty much the best-value 2022 Scar 15 configuration available, pairing the Core i9 processor with the RTX 3070Ti and QHD 240Hz screen.
