DESIGN

With a minimalist design, the Lenovo IdeaCentre A540 comes in an elegant, matte black body with a tasteful rose gold accents. Its 23.8-inch monitor has narrow side bezels, making this all-in-one PC more distinctive than its older siblings. Its asymmetrical design allows more room for its bundled peripherals, making it an eye-catching piece that could blend well with the monochromatic interiors of your home or office. Lenovo’s iconic logo in rose gold can be seen on its base beside the speaker grille. Ports for the two USB 2.0, an audio jack, and a three-in-one memory card reader are all lined up on the left side while three USB 3.1, HDMI input and output, and RJ45 ports are strategically placed at the back.
