This new Asus ROG Strix gaming laptop has enough RGB to make your desk glow

If you like your gaming gear to look like it came straight from the neon glow of the Las Vegas strip, then you’ll love this new Asus ROG Strix gaming laptop that the company has just teased. It has a ring of bright RGB lighting that goes all round the edge and, fittingly, the new machine, which looks like it's probably the new Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 2025, is scheduled to be launched in Vegas at CES 2025 in January 2025.

Asus is no stranger to the world of RGB lighting, as we found in our Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 review, which bathes the surface area in front of the machine in the lighting color of your choice. This new design from Asus, however, shows a complete circuit of lighting surrounding the perimeter of the laptop’s underside. Meanwhile, a recent leak also suggests that the ROG Strix Scar 18 2025 specs will feature a new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 laptop GPU, specifically the RTX 5080 model, although other GPUs are likely to be available too.
