Asus -

Dell -

Examine harsh negative feedback on Dell G15-5520 concerning battery and overheating.
Charging time drops to about 2 hours under typical conditions (battery off, no gaming).
Performance falters to 40 minutes even during gaming without AC power, as many articles advise against it.
Thermal issues with the CPU are a significant drawback for Dell, prompting a preference for ASUS.
Despite a clean Windows 11 setup, users still report similar problems.
Comparing the models I’ve chosen within my budget:
(Planning to add extra 8 GB RAM to any model)
Both share identical processors
Same GPU – Nvidia RTX 3050 (4G DDR6)
Storage – 512 GB SSD
Key differences include:
Dell offers one SSD slot while Asus provides two
Dell’s battery capacity is 56wh versus Asus’s 90wh
Dell uses 8 GB DDR5 RAM compared to Asus’s 8 GB DDR4
I require a solid mid-range gaming laptop with reliable battery performance, where Asus outperforms Dell.
What should I choose?
Essential needs: light gaming, browsing, office work, YouTube watching

Yes, but dealing with major problems like overheating and battery drain led a fellow user to recommend urgent replacement. I looked for a different option and asked for help, since I had just two days left before the Amazon replacement period ends.

The process has started, and I can assist you in picking a better alternative. You've already considered ASUS and found their reviews to be positive. Key differences include: Dell offers 1 x SSD slot while ASUS provides 2 SSD slots; Dell's 56wh battery versus ASUS's 90wh, with battery life being a priority; Dell's 8 GB DDR5 4800 mhz RAM compared to ASUS's 8 GB DDR4 3200 mhz RAM.

Could I recommend avoiding the RTX 3050 as well? Bring back a couple of dollars and opt for a G16 with an RTX 3060, or even better—purchase an 11th gen Alienware.
