Background
The Asus A540 series is a 15.6-inch notebook line first released in June 2016 as part of the VivoBook family, aimed at the mid-range and budget market. Several sub-models were offered: the A540LA with integrated Intel HD Graphics, the A540LJ with an NVIDIA GeForce 920M, and the A540UP with AMD Radeon graphics. These were paired with Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 Skylake processors, 4–8 GB DDR3L RAM, and storage options ranging from 500 GB to 1 TB HDDs, with many users later upgrading to SSDs for better speed. The series also featured HD (1366×768) or Full HD (1920×1080) displays, and at 381 × 252 × 27 mm with a weight of around 2.0 kg.
Connectivity was a standout feature, as the A540 included USB 2.0, USB 3.0, USB-C, HDMI, VGA, an SD card reader, and, on most models, a DVD optical drive. At launch, pricing started near $310 USD (₹20,990 in India), making it accessible in Asia, Europe, and other global markets. The device included a full HD screen options, and inclusion of USB-C, but drew criticism for limited RAM upgradability, modest battery life (3–5 hours), and slow performance on HDD models.
The A540 series replaced older Asus X and F series laptops and acted as a bridge toward modern VivoBook 15 designs, which introduced slimmer bezels, SSD-first configurations, and improved efficiency. While not groundbreaking, the A540 was noteworthy for bringing contemporary features into the entry-level market, making it one of Asus’s most accessible laptops of its time.
Identification
The Asus A540 can be identified by the “Asus A540” label on the underside of the chassis, typically located near the cooling vents or battery area. This label also lists the exact sub-model number (such as A540LA, A540LJ, or A540UP) along with regulatory markings and serial information. Externally, the laptop is recognizable by its 15.6-inch screen size, relatively slim profile, and weight of about 2.0 kg, with overall dimensions of approximately 381 × 252 × 27 mm. Many models include an optical drive on the right-hand side, a full-size chiclet keyboard, and a multi-touch touchpad with palm-rejection technology. The combination of the bottom case label, the system’s dimensions, and these distinctive physical features make it straightforward to confirm whether a laptop belongs to the Asus A540 series.
