The Asus Scar 18 gaming laptop features a revolutionary design that allows for easy upgrades without the need for tools. With a single sliding latch, users can access the NVMe slots and SO-DIMM packages, enabling them to swap out components with ease.
For many of today's most popular gaming laptop s, manufacturers have shrunk and soldered so much to save space that we've lost the ability to upgrade our machines. Not this.

It's curvier, has RGB down-lighting around its circumference, a Mini-LED Nebula HDR display, and will come packed with a new But what's most interesting about this design is when you flip it over. There are no screws visible from the underside of this laptop.
Instead, it has a single sliding latch. This unlocks the rear cover, which can then be slid off and removed—no tools required. Underneath the cover sit two diagonally arranged NVMe slots and a pair of SO-DIMM packages. All of which can be swapped and changed. That's maybe not amazing, but Asus has got rid of the frustratingly tiny screws and opted for small latches on each of the NVMe slots—called Q-latch—much like it's done with its motherboards in recent years.That means the laptop can be upgraded without even a screwdriver, which is pretty special. The battery is also easily accessible. Though to get down any further than these components requires removing a few screws, but it's less likely you'll need to get down there except for repairs.
