ASUS ROG Strix RTX SCAR II GL704GW Review (i7-8750H & RTX 2070)

PCMark 8

PCMark 8 is an industry standard PC benchmarking tool. PCMark 8 tests the performance of all types of PC, from tablets to desktops with five separate benchmark tests plus battery life testing. In this review we use PCMark 8 for battery life testing only.

Battery life is, unexpectedly, pretty low with the user able to get around 2 to 3 hours of medium home usage. During gaming the battery life would be considerably less but users should be plugging in when gaming so the CPU and GPU can run at full frequency. At 17.3″ in size, the ROG STRIX RTX SCAR II is hardly meant to be a portable gaming machine so keeping it plugged it is almost a given.
