The two gaming beasts come packed with an upgrade system which is free from tools, enabling users to access it barehand, as per Tom's Guide.
On the redesigned ROG Strix Scar 16 and 18, this convenience is brought to the table by using a magnetic latching system which allows users to open the bottom panel of the laptops and access their internal components within seconds.
The most notable property of these seamlessly upgradeable systems is that you can reach the RAM and M.2 SSD and swap them out without even requiring a screwdriver.
