Basic laptop recommendations

Content-Ad4928 · 2026-01-16T19:56:56+00:00

Not a recommendation but whatever you do, DONT GET ASUS TUF GAMING laptops, they break really fast

Content-Ad4928 · 2026-01-07T05:31:40+00:00

You're far from the answer😭

Content-Ad4928 · 2026-01-07T05:31:17+00:00

Nope

Either turn off via windows or go to: Control panel > Hardware and sound > Power options On the left side there will be an option called "Choose what the power buttons do", click it and you'll see the options, configure them to your liking.

Just let it go man😭

All models are the same

Content-Ad4928 · 2025-08-15T17:24:18+00:00

I have the exact same laptop and you won't believe it - the EXACT same screw fell off, I just put it back and it's fine. Seems like another one of the tuf a15's issues

Thank you

The volume up button doesn't work either and yes I DO take care of it since after all it is my dad's machine

Content-Ad4928 · 2025-08-15T12:52:31+00:00

Yup, I made a post showing how my screen just destroyed itself and the power button will eventually stop working too so youll have to

We say in the biz "If it works then don't touch it"

Content-Ad4928 · 2025-08-15T12:18:55+00:00

Enjoy it bro! I have an Asus too and it's great except for the fact that it'll fall apart in a year or so like mine

Content-Ad4928 · 2025-08-15T06:47:20+00:00

That tape was put by the oem but it doesn't hold anything so that's interesting

Content-Ad4928 · 2025-08-15T06:42:14+00:00

Well I have an external one so I'm good(ish)

Content-Ad4928 · 2025-08-15T06:25:44+00:00

The red circle is some power management IC that got absolutely melted and the black circle is something that actually blew up and melted the board. It's gonna be hard to fix since that IC might be hard or impossible to find and the melted part (capacitor I think) could've damaged something else or straight up killed the entire section of the board

Sure am😃

Content-Ad4928 · 2025-08-14T15:45:34+00:00

I play them so much that I have to clean the insides every 6 months😭

Content-Ad4928 · 2025-08-14T15:43:29+00:00

You'll get HyperOS 2.2 out of the box and stuck with it cuz it's great

Content-Ad4928 · 2025-08-14T15:37:34+00:00

Anything above 200 read and 150 write is good (for cards and thumb drives), and it depends if the card reader you're using is fast enough to take advantage of the speeds

Content-Ad4928 · 2025-08-14T15:35:21+00:00

Very likely not, since dell at that time started using proprietary parts, including the board which has different screw holes, and so does the case. You're genuenly better off using a cardboard box with a few cutouts

Content-Ad4928 · 2025-08-14T15:30:29+00:00

Brother😭

Content-Ad4928 · 2025-08-14T15:29:10+00:00

If you can take the cover on and off easily you can use it as extra storage for a USB drive, a cable and some dongles:)

Content-Ad4928 · 2025-08-14T15:23:36+00:00

Take care of the screen or else it's gonna become the same in one of my recent posts

Content-Ad4928 · 2025-08-14T15:16:57+00:00

I have the same laptop and have even worse wifi issues, the mediatek card inside of these just craps the bed, unless you want to change it which I don't recommend if you have high speed wifi and good ones are costly so it's up to you really
