== Background ==

The Asus VivoBook F540 series are a group of discontinued mid range personal laptops. The series is generally suited for basic computing rather than intensive applications.

The Asus F540 features a lightweight 1.90 kg design and the 15.6 inch display offers a full HD resolution. This series is powered by a range of Intel and AMD processors, from entry-level Celeron and Pentium, to more powerful Core i3 and Ryzen 3 options, depending on the model. The laptop has 4GB or 8GB RAM configurations.. The storage options vary between HDD and SSD.

The Asus F540 Series includes a full set of connectivity options, including USB Type-C, USB 3.0, HDMI, and a microSD card reader. Wireless connectivity is supported through WiFi 4 (802.11n) or Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). Additionally, the laptop is equipped with stereo speakers featuring Asus SonicMaster technology. With a 3-cell lithium-polymer battery, the Asus F540 Series offers an average battery life of 4 to 6 hours. While the Asus F540 is known for its affordability, some common user-reported issues include slow performance on HDD models, overheating under heavy workloads, and battery wear over time. To solve this, many users upgrade their RAM and storage to improve performance, as well as replacing the battery and keyboard due to regular wear and tear.

The Asus F540 series is a cost-effective laptop that balances performance and usability for casual users. It may not be suited for demanding applications.
