I'm a bit torn between whether to stick with an OEM charger or save some money by buying a cheaper one that matches the specs of my original ASUS charger. My first one only lasted about 1.5 to 2 years before it died. I play Valorant for 7 to 9 hours each day, and I always keep the charger plugged in while gaming. There's a $50 to $60 price gap between the OEM and the generic option, so I'm looking for advice on what makes the most sense to buy.

I'd strongly recommend going for the OEM charger. With the intense use you put it through, a third-party charger might not stand up to the task. You could also look for used OEM chargers on sites like eBay if you're trying to save some cash, but be cautious about the heavy usage you're giving it!
Are you suggesting OEM directly from Asus? My charger model is A19-090P2A, 90W. I can't find it on their site but saw it on Amazon. Is that reliable? It only has one review, which seems odd.
