ASUS VivoBook X540SA BPD0602V 15.6-inch
Pros
- Price
- USB 3.1 Type-C
- Decent battery life
- Light
Cons
- 4GB of onboard RAM can’t be removed
- Slightly underpowered processor
- Slight keyboard and display flex
- Only two full size USB ports
Bottom Line
The ASUS VivoBook X540SA offers great value for money and even features a USB 3.1 Type-C port. But the Intel Pentium processor is slightly underpowered for more intensive multitasking and you only receive two full size USB ports.
The ASUS VivoBook X540SA is a bestselling budget friendly laptop that has been praised for its light weight design, for its attractive price, its USB 3.1 Type-C port and for its fast AC WiFi. But users have commented that there is some display and keyboard flex which is quite common for its price category. The Intel Pentium processor and 4GB of RAM won’t win any awards, but feels quite snappy for basic tasks and light multitasking. The 500GB of storage space allows you to store all of your work and a decent amount of multimedia files. While it only comes with one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 ports, it does come with a next generation USB 3.1 Type-C port for superfast data transfer speeds.
