Asus X540LA [X540LA-XX533D]

Middle class

Asus VivoBook X540LA, although it still fits into the lower price segment (up to 10K hryvnia), is already a representative of the middle class in terms of functionality. The amount of RAM and hard drive is relatively small - 4 and 500 GB, respectively. But both of these components are easy to replace, while the processor is much more difficult to upgrade. Fortunately, the Asus VivoBook X540LA has it so good - Intel Core i3-5005U.

Honored Veteran

This processor belongs to the Broadwell family - quite old (three generations ago), but high-performance. As a result, the Core i3-5005U is twice as fast as the power-efficient Apollo Lake chips found in most low-end laptops today. However the i3-5005U eats the battery one and a half times faster. From a complete 33-Wh battery, the laptop lives on the strength of 3 hours in web surfing mode, while laptops on Apollo Lake - 4-5 hours.

Cause time, fun hour

A powerful processor significantly expands the capabilities of the VivoBook X540LA. On it, you can batch process photos, mount videos and even run games. Of course, the novelties of recent years will not work with a comfortable frame rate, but popular multiplayer games a la World of Tanks, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Dota 2 will go with a bang. We recommend Asus VivoBook X540LA to all those who have already outgrown basic computer tasks, but do not want to overpay for a model with a discrete graphics card.
