The tech specs mentioned do sound like they might warm up the machine. Fret not, as the gaming laptop houses a custom vapour chamber paired with ROG's exclusive Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal applied to both the CPU and GPU. The ports on the SCAR 17 SE include 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C with DisplayPort 1.4 and Power Delivery, 1 x USB Type-C with Thunderbolt 4, 1 x RJ-45 (LAN 2.5 Gbps), 1 x HDMI 2.1 1 x 3.5 mm combo audio jack and 1 x DC-in. For the audio compartment, it brings four speakers, with support for Dolby Atmos, Hi-Res Audio, and Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation.

Furthermore, the SCAR 17 SE's design is a pretty cool one. It features invisible ink applied directly to its metal chassis that can only be spotted with a UV flashlight or LED blue light. The ink appears in green and blue and has a hidden message that offers in-game hints for SCAR Runner, an ASUS-developed parkour game.
