Asus R540UB [R540UB-DM876] (90NB0IM1-M12390)

working bee

Asus R540UB is currently one of the most affordable 15-inch models from the manufacturer. This is a work bee, created to become a faithful assistant in study and office work.

Full HD screen with anti-reflective coating

The laptop screen is made using TN + film technology with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and viewing angles that are unusually good for this type of matrix. The anti-reflective coating protects the eyes from glare, but slightly reduces the saturation of the image. In general, the screen is not bad, it's even ok for work, but this is clearly not something that Asus R540UB will be praised for in reviews.

Balance

As for the filling, the laptop is equipped with a dual-core Core i3 processor with an operating frequency of 2.3. The processor is ambiguous, as there is support for multithreading, but there is no Turbo Boost. In conjunction with it, 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, a 1000 GB HDD and a GeForce MX110 graphics card work, which will allow you to play old hits of the past such as Bioshock Infinite or The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim at medium graphics settings. For a price of $500, the filling is quite ok.

Ergonomics

If we talk about orientation to work tasks, then it is worth praising the ergonomics of the laptop. Firstly, Asus developers have made a good full-size keyboard with a short and precise key travel. Secondly, the laptop has an excellent and responsive touchpad that minimizes accidental clicks and accidental cursor movements. The smooth surface of the touchpad provides good glide, the corners understand touches as well as the centre. Pressing is worked out, as with the keyboard, shallowly, but clearly.

Specialist in his field

Otherwise, this is a completely ordinary laptop, without any frills like fast charging. It attracts primarily with an affordable price, and its main task is to work reliably. And he successfully handles with it.
