r/Asustuf

The reason why i am asking is as we know hp laptops are cheaper than asus right so i wanted to know that are they reliable in india? asus i know been using from many years has service centers all around but was concerned looking at the hp victus complaints. i know not the same laptop but hence asking hows ur omen doing? i am looking to buy one in tomorrow's sale online. any suggestions? (i was confused between tuf f16 4050 vs 5050 omen. 4050 is perfect for me but omen is giving 24 gb ram and 1tb ssd plus 5050 hence little more drawn towards that and both are fairly close in pricing ) (my main work is no gaming at all btw i am all for video editing and motion graphics just adding for better context)

Hi everyone,

I have an ASUS TUF Gaming F15 that originally came with a 48Wh battery, and I'm considering upgrading it to the larger 90Wh battery that is available for some TUF F15 variants.

From what I understand, the 90Wh battery is physically compatible with certain F15 models, but I want to make sure there aren't any electrical, charging, BIOS, or thermal issues before I buy one.

For anyone who has done this upgrade:

- Is installing the 90Wh battery actually safe on a model that originally came with the 48Wh battery?

- Is it basically plug-and-play, or are any BIOS/settings changes required?

- Does the laptop recognize the larger battery normally?

- Are there any differences in the battery connector, voltage, charging circuit, or battery management that I should be concerned about?

- Does installing the larger battery affect the charger or motherboard in any way?

- Is there anything I should check on the battery before buying it (model number, voltage, connector, etc.)?

- And most importantly, would you recommend doing this upgrade, or is it better to stick with the original 48Wh battery?

I'm mainly interested in getting better battery life for normal/light use. I don't want to risk damaging the motherboard or creating a battery safety issue just for the extra capacity.

If anyone has personally upgraded a 48Wh TUF F15 to the 90Wh battery, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience.

Thanks!

I bought my ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DT during the pandemic around 2020. The model itself is from 2019, so this thing has been around for quite a while now.

Instead of replacing it, I've just kept upgrading and repairing it.

Upgrades:

- 32GB SODIMM RAM

- 128GB NVMe SSD

- Still running the original CPU/GPU platform

But after almost 6 years, I'm definitely starting to see the age of the machine.

Current problems:

- Battery has significantly degraded

- Built-in screen no longer works

- Built-in keyboard no longer works

At this point, I basically treat it like a small desktop when I'm at home. 😂

The funny thing is that the motherboard, CPU, GPU and general system are still working, so I don't really feel like throwing the whole laptop away yet.

The 32GB RAM upgrade also helped keep it useful for work and multitasking despite the age of the platform.

I'm curious about other FX505DT/TUF owners:

How long has your FX505DT survived?

What has failed on yours first?

Battery? Keyboard? Display? Cooling system? Motherboard?

And if you've kept yours alive for 5+ years, what upgrades or repairs did you do to extend its lifespan?

I'm especially interested in hearing from people who are still using their FX505DT in 2026.

Hello guys im from Europe and ive seen an Asus tuf gaming a18 with 32gb ram, 1tb ssd, ryzen 7 260 and rtx 5070 for 1500€, do u think is a good deal? Or should i wait till black friday to hope to see a better deal?
