This is the cheapest price I have seen so far for this laptop. The 17.3 inch Scar III model is yet to come by this month or next month however you save aprox 1000$ with this one.
The only differences that I know of between Scar II and Scar III are:
- Scar III has latest i7 9750h where as Scar II comes with last gen i7 8750h (i7 9750h is aprox 5% to 6% better than the previous gen is it worth $1000 more??)
- Scar III has some design changes and ASUS added a keystone feature (NFC Drive to save customization profile and Encrypted Drive to store sensitive data)
