3 Best RTX 3080 Laptops in India

ASUS has recently unveiled their new line up of ROG Strix series of laptops. These are the ultimate gaming machines as they come with the latest and the greatest high end spec sheet. You get the new AMD Ryzen 5000 mobile CPUs and Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3080 graphics. 

So we are going to look at the 3 models in the ROG Strix Scar series of laptops in our list for the Best laptops with RTX 3080 in India. But first let’s talk about what are the usual set of features that you will be getting with these laptops.

The laptop comes with a matte black lid with a semi transparent shell. The keyboard is a chiclet style keyboard with per key RGBl, the trackpad is wide and comfortable to use and doubles as a number pad. You get some extra set of keys to activate performance mode or the ROG crate. You also have an RGB light bar on the sides as well as a ROG logo.

You get dual 4W speakers that have a good bass but sound tinny and mushed. For connectivity, you have Wifi 6, gigabit ethernet and Bluetooth 5.1. As for thermals, the laptop comes with 6 copper pipes, 4 fan outlets and dual fans which are under the WASD keys and near the arrow keys so you don’t feel uncomfortable warming while enjoying your games. Although the fans manage to keep the noise low, you can still expect heating and throttling on demanding games. 

Now that you know what you will be getting with either of these laptops, let’s get started with our list of the 3 best laptops with RTX 3080 in India. 

ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 (Ryzen 9)

Rating: 9.5/10

Check Cheapest Price : Amazon

Pros:

• This one has the top of the line extremely powerful Ryzen 9 5900HX processor 
• Comes with 32GB of DDR4 RAM @3200Mhz that can be expanded upto 64GB
• 300 Hertz refresh rate with 3ms Grey to Grey response time at full HD resolution
• USB power delivery with fast charging

Cons:

• Tends to get quite warm, and throttles 
• Refresh rate is limited to 60HZ when not plugged in
• No webcam

This is the top of the line variant of the ASUS ROG Scar 15 series. This comes packed with the performance beast Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU based on the recently released zen 3 architecture. With this on board, you can basically push your games to limits and CPU intensive tasks should be a breeze. Along with the powerful CPU you get 32Gb of onboard RAM with room for more.  This machine is basically overkill and you should only decide to go for it if you think you can really take complete advantage of such high specs. 

2. ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 (Ryzen 7)

Rating: 9.2/10

Check Cheapest Price : Amazon

Pros:

• High 300Hz refresh and 3ms G2G response time gives a nice advantage in eSport titles
• Comes with the very powerful Ryzen 7 5800H
• Slightly better thermals and decent battery life with fast charging
• Wifi 6, Gigabit ethernet but bluetooth 5.1

Cons:

• The speakers although loud, tends to sound a bit tinny
• The back protrudes a bit which some people might not like

If you want to save a bit of cash but don’t want to lose out on the refresh rate then this variant of the ROG Strix Scar 15 might be for you. You get 16GB RAM which you can still upgrade to 64GB and Ryzen 7 5800H. Ryzen 7 is no slouch and shouldn’t have any problem handling intensive tasks. One advantage is the Ryzen 7 tends to take less power so a slight improvement in battery life and a minor improvement in thermals. So you can basically use it as your workstation, for live streaming, playing or benchmarking the latest gaming titles and editing your videos.

3. ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 (Ryzen 7 QHD)

Rating: 9.3/10

Check Cheapest Price : Amazon

Pros:

• Gorgeous 1440p Quad HD display
• Display has vivid and sharp colors with deep and detailed blacks
• 165Hz refresh rate 3ms G2G response time
• Comes with the powerful Ryzen 7 5800H processor

Cons:

• Battery life takes a hit due the QHD display
• Refresh rate goes down from 300Hz to 165Hz
• Heats up after prolonged intensive usage

This comes with a 1440p display. You do compromise on the higher refresh rate as it gets chopped by almost by half at 165Hz down from 300Hz but it’s very unlikely you will be able to take advantage of that high FPS if you play on 1440p resolution. But other than that, the internals should be more than enough for 1440p gaming. The battery life takes a hit due the QHD resolution but you do get fast charging that should get it to 50% in 30 minutes. Since the price is similar to the Full HD variant, this is our preferred choice.

This brings us to the end of our list. We hope you found your suitable laptop to game on among these options. Do let us know if you did and we would greatly appreciate it if you would buy from the links we have provided. Also provide us with any feedback that you have to offer regarding the list.
