The quality of construction R540 is below average. The chassis of our review was biased laptop, the laptop does not sit evenly on a flat surface. Plastic covering the top of the curve easily portable in a little more pressure. In addition, the entire firm seems to lower the cave where the pressure is applied on top of the laptop, which specifies the internal frame lacks strength. To complete the list, elbows slightly bent when the frame at the corners, it's bad because it can flex circuit inside the laptop to comply. Circuit boards subjected to bending will not last that long.
Cover parts mediocre build quality, is easy to fold when he grabbed the corners. Ripples appear when pressure is applied to ensure the display is well protected. All in all, the notebook also lower than expected budget of R540.
