Toshiba Satellite C75 Series

Toshiba Satellite C75-A-10P

The Toshiba Satellite C75-A-10P is truly a satellite of epic proportions. The massive 17 inch machine with a full size keyboard was definitely designed as a desktop replacement. For a laptop this size, it is surprisingly light at 2.7 kg. However, it is still not a machine ideal for toting around on a daily basis. The battery life is another pleasant surprise, managing to squeeze out almost 6 hours of light use. While that may not sound impressive, most machines of this size don't typically fare as well. On the outside, the design is plain and nondescript, with a plastics chassis. It is put together well though, despite feeling like a low end laptop. Flex and creaking are minimal, and the keyboard is a pleasure to use. Unfortunately, the touchpad is a little finicky in terms of responsiveness.

But on the inside, the Toshiba Satellite C75-A-10P performs more than decently, powered by its 2.5 GHz Core i3-3120M processor. Its HD+ screen is also a big surprise for this price range. Both the processor and screen put this device far ahead of comparable machines. Its biggest let down is Intel's HD Graphics 4000, which makes for only bearable gaming at medium or lower settings, but that is to be expected for its class. In almost every way, the Toshiba Satellite C75-A-10P is the best option for those in the market for a truly budget friendly desktop replacement.

67% Toshiba Satellite C75 review

As a do-it-all desktop replacement, the Satellite C75 is a solid all-rounder. It has weak points, but if you're looking for a desk-bound laptop with a good turn of speed for around £500, the Toshiba Satellite C75 is a viable candidate at a sensible price.

70% Toshiba Satellite C75 review: a good looking desktop replacement laptop with a Haswell processor
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
The Satellite C75 isn't as sturdy as the Asus X75VC, and its keyboard isn't particularly good, but it makes up for these deficiencies in other areas. The Haswell processor helps the C75 deliver the best application benchmarks of any machine here, and its integrated graphics core enables casual gaming – even if the Asus has a slightly better integrated core. Battery life is better than the Asus, too, and both screens are comparable. If you need a desktop replacement without breaking the bank, the Toshiba has edged ahead of its rival.

2.7 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.

2.8 kg:

71.67%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
