Question Need help decide among Dell G15-5520 Gaming Laptop vs ASUS TUF Gaming F15 (2022)

[TalkingTomCat]

Asus - https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0C7R342NJ
Dell - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B0BQJD5P52/
Read serious negative reviews about Dell G15-5520 related to battery/over-heating.
Battery gets depleted in around 2 hours on normal usage (battery power off and not gaming).
Battery cannot last even 40 minutes when gaming with battery power off, read Gaming is not suggested without AC Power on as per many aricles.
CPU over-heating is another major concern in Dell which pushes me towards ASUS
Even after Windows 11 clean install, end-users kept complaning about same.

Here are some similarities/differences between models I have selected as per my budget:
(Will purchase additional 8 GB RAM with any model, I plan to purchase)
Both SHARE same processor
Same GPU - Nvidia RTX 3050 (4G DDR6)
Storage 512 gb ssd

Important Key differences:
Dell 1 x SSD slot VS Asus 2 SSD slots
Dell 56wh battery vs Asus 90 wh [BAttery life is most important in this case]
Dell 8 GB DDR5 Ram vs Asus 8 GB DDR4 Ram

I need a good mid-range gaming laptop with good battery life, where Asus superseeds Dell.
Any reasons, which laptop I must select ?

Prime requirements:
Light gaming
Browsing/Office/Youtube

Yes, But facing serious issues with same related to over-heating and battery drains were a fellow member suggested for immediate replacement.


Hence, searched for an alternative and requested support, as only got 2 days before replacement window closes at Amazon

Thanks started process, can you help me choose better alternative, like I have already selected ASUS and read positive reviews comparatively.

Main differences between dell and asus:
Dell 1 x SSD slot VS Asus 2 SSD slots
Dell 56wh battery vs Asus 90 wh [battery life is most important in this case]
Dell 8 GB DDR5 4800 mhz Ram vs Asus 8 GB DDR4 3200 mhz Ram

Might I suggest you stay away from the RTX 3050 as well. Return that one, add a couple of bucks and get a G16 with an RTX 3060, or you could even do better; get an 11th gen Alienware.

I would NEVER take an Asus over a Dell, but of course, that's me...
