Notebook ASUS x541s is a budget model that offers the user all the necessary functions for comfortable work with documents and text files. A full-fledged keyboard, a 15.6-inch FULL HD screen, excellent sound, light weight and dimensions are just a small list of what the manufacturer offers its potential buyer for quite reasonable money. However, it is worth talking about everything in a little more detail.
Description
To date, the characteristics of the ASUS x541s can hardly be called impressive, but they should be enough for ordinary office work and various presentations. A dual or quad-core processor, up to 8GB of RAM, as well as several varieties of hard drives with different sizes for storing all their data. The presence of several versions is an absolute plus, because not everyone can afford to buy the most top-end equipment. Well, okay, in detail about the characteristics of the ASUS x541s will be discussed below in a separate paragraph.
If we talk about the appearance of new items, then it is pretty good. The laptop has several color options, and its design is made in a modern style. The material from which the laptop is made is plastic, although at first glance it might seem that this is not so. If you look at the laptop from different angles, you can notice the gradient that is inherent in metal surfaces. Greater realism adds a surface on which traces are visible as if from "polishing". But the harsh reality is that there is no metal here - it's just a well-painted plastic.
On the lid of the laptop there is nothing more than the company logo. Below, except for stickers, rubberized legs and a small grille, there is nothing either. The battery, by the way, is non-removable, so you should not look for the battery compartment. In fact, a non-removable battery is a rather controversial decision, because in the future, if the user wants to change the battery, he will have to unscrew the entire bottom cover.
Move on. On the right side of the ASUS x541s is the DVD drive tray. But on the left side all the connectors moved: a socket for connecting an external power supply, a USB-type C port, aka Thunderbird 3.0, a connector for connecting a network cable (RJ-45), a VGA port for connecting an external monitor, an HDMI connector, a port USB 3.0, USB 2.0 port and a 3.5 mm combo jack for connecting headphones or a microphone.
This arrangement is generally not bad, but I would like to see another USB port on the right side so that I could connect a wired mouse. Yes, although most people today use wireless peripherals, there are people who prefer wired devices. They will have to connect the mouse on the left side, and then throw the wire over the laptop so that it does not interfere. But you could make it easier - add just one USB to the right side.

The display of the ASUS x541s has typical characteristics for today, but they can vary depending on the configuration. So, the top version will have a screen with a resolution of 1920 × 1080, touch support, glossy finish, 60 Hz and LED backlight. In other cases, everything will be almost the same, only the resolution will change to 1366x768 and touch support will be removed. Of the additional, it is worth noting the presence of anti-reflective coating of pretty good quality. The display matrix is made using TN technology, viewing angles are not very good. However, thanks to the efforts of ASUS engineers, it was possible to achieve a colorful, clear and bright picture, which, of course, is more important.
If you lift the lid of the laptop, you will see a full-size keyboard with a digital block and a touchpad. Above the keyboard are neatly placed 2 speakers, and between them the SonicSound logo.
On the sticker, which is on the right side, you can see the ASUS slogan (In search of incredible) and the characteristics of the x541s, however, brief. On the same sticker are 3 main advantages of this model: a key stroke of 2.3 mm, bewitching sound and lightness and portability.
