Can you tell me abit more regarding the Hinges’ durability? Do you think that ASUS TUF’s “military grade” laptop hinges are better than other budget laptop such as Acer Nitro, HP Victus, and MSI GF63? I’m really curious about how they compare. Thank you very much in advance!
To receive the MIL-STD 810H certifications, ASUS laptops undergo 12 test methods and 26 procedures, but none of them relate to hinges, here’s the testing report:
https://www.asus.com/event/2023/productguide/asus_consumer_laptops_military_grade_testing_report_202303.pdf
The laptops we review are brand new from an online store. Although we haven’t encountered problems with their hinges, we can’t guarantee long-term reliability.
Overall, we’re satisfied with the build quality of ASUS laptops; it’s clear they’ve put considerable thought into it.
Can i know which model info of this TUF A16 that use 7945hx?
because when i referred to this link https://www.asus.com/laptops/for-gaming/tuf-gaming/asus-tuf-gaming-a16-2024/techspec/ it says that there only available with 7845hx and 7940hx?
You are correct, it’s a mistake on our end, and we’ve fixed it, sorry about that, it is a 7845HX indeed.
Oh no! The non-gaming battery life is 50% shorter than the 2023 model 🙁
Can I add a second SSD with a thermal protector? Or is the thermal protector incompatible
