Toshiba Satellite L750 Laptop Repair

We did extensive Virus removal for the Toshiba satellite L750 for a Thornhill customer.

Design

Opening up the L750 gave us a brief 1970s flashback moment. The silver pattern on the L750’s case has a slight disco ball effect, especially under bright lighting. This sort of thing is always a matter of taste; for every person who thinks it’s unnecessarily gaudy, there will be one who finds it gorgeous and appealing. Wherever you sit on that spectrum, there’s no denying that the L750 is eye catching.
Features

There are two models of the L750 on the market; the model that  tested was the cheaper AU$899 Satellite L750/03C PSK1WA-03C00R. You’ll forgive us if we just call it the L750, we trust.

The L750 features an Intel Core i5 2410M 2.3GHz processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory and a 15.6-inch 1366×768 16:9 LCD display screen. Storage comes from a 640GB internal hard drive. The optical drive is a DVD SuperMulti Dual Layer burner. Video output is via VGA only; if you want HDMI you’ll have to upgrade to the AU$999 Satellite L750/04K PSK2YA-04K010 model. That upgraded model also features USB 3.0, whereas the L750 we tested makes do with only USB 2.0 ports.

On the software side, Windows 7 Home Premium is preinstalled. When you first boot up the C660, it’ll ask you if you want 32-bit or 64-bit Windows installed. The default is 32-bit, and if you opt for 64-bit (and with 4GB onboard, you absolutely should), you’ll have to wait a couple of hours while it reformats the partition and reinstalls everything. “Everything”, in this case, includes ConfigFree, Microsoft Office 2010 Starter (60-day trial), Norton Internet Security 2011 (Trial Version), Norton Online Backup Utility, Toshiba Face Recognition, Toshiba Media Controller, Toshiba PC Health Monitor and Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.
