Toshiba Satellite L750/75 review

Toshiba has come back with an outstanding laptop. It is the laptop for every one for only £349.99!

From high performance to 6 hours of battery life. The rather fast Dual core Intel Core i3™ 2nd generation CPU clocked at 2.3 GHZ makes short work of light gaming and formal work. Plus the ample 6GB of DDR3 Memory and a spacious 640GB hard drive means you can store all of your pictures, documents and videos with no worry of running out of space. Because of the ample amount of Memory you can run loads of intensive programs at a time. The 64MB of video memory, by Intel HD Graphics™ Means HD video streaming is easy and fluid.
      
After using this laptop for two weeks I can say it is very good, with a super clear 15.6” LED backlit LCD display and a reasonable 0.3MP webcam, which makes for easy Skype calls.
I have found on two bad things about it: Keyboard is inaccurate, and charger gets very hot.

There is a wide range of i/o Ports: 1xHDMI, 3xUSB 2.0, 2in1 Card reader, VGA, Ethernet and a DVD drive.

I rate it 4 Stars

What’s New In Windows 7?

Windows 7 is quite different than its predecessor, windows Vista. For one thing, Windows 7 actually works. But the biggest thing is the task bar, now you can move your programs around. Another thing is a desktop gadgets, unlike Windows Vista, there is no sidebar so you can place them wherever you want. Another cool feature is ‘Glass’. This is a feature that lets the windows and start menu be semi-transparent, a bit like real glass. My faveroite feature is the backgrounds. Now you can set it to change every 10 seconds and onwards. However, There is one downside to windows 7, you need a powerful PC. You need at lest a 40GB hard drive, 2GB Ram, and a 1.6GHZ dual core CPU. But Windows 7 is a lot better than windows 8.

The Virus

The virus works by you letting it into your system. This can be caused by and out-of-date of inactive firewall or antivirus. Once the virus is in your system, it can cause havoc! And what makes it worse is that it can duplicate itself, it waits in an infected file and then, when you open it Virus is let into more of your system. It can delete files change settings, steal info, and possible corrupt your hard drive. The hard drive is one of the most fragile parts in a computer so its best not to move it while it is powered on. If you have an SSD drive it can actual void your warranty from some low-end brands. My favorite Antivirus’, Firewalls and Antimalware are listed now:

Antivirus:

Free: AVG Free    Paid: Norton 360 v6

Firewall:

Free: Windows Firewall   Paid: Zonealarm

Antimalware

Free: IO Bit malware fighter free     
Paid: IO bit malware fighter pro

Why i hate Touch screen computers

I hate them because they garter finger pints and the screens get sticky. Touch screen pc's are also very expensive so you also have to buy some screen cleaner as well. I have had this experience with one of my friends computers; thy tend to have a very reflective screen. So if i were going to have to buy a touch screen computer, i would just not use the touch screen. But if i had the chose  i would not buy a touch screen, as it is a lot cheaper and are often have better spec than the touch screen ones.

The PSU

The PSU or Power Supply Unit is what gives your computer power. There are two types or PSU, Modular and non-modular. Modular PSU have detachable cables so you only plug in cables that you need. Non-modular PSU have fixed cables that can’t be removed so you have to have all of the cables. There’re several cables going to the motherboard, these are the following: A small 4 or 8 pin one that goes to the top left of the motherboard, A large 24 Pin connector that goes onto the right hand side of the motherboard and the rest go to video cards and hard drives and optical drives. The suggested power is 350-750W however; you may needs more depending on your configuration. The more power you have, the more things you can add to your PC. Lets say the CPU requires 105W if you have a 500w PSU and the CPU is under full load, the PSU will be able to provide the power so it will be able to run.

The Case.

The Case is where all the components are stored like the motherboard; optical drives PSU and hard drive. It’s important that the case looks nice so you feel better using the PC. The most common case is micro ATX or mATX. The largest case it ATX. ATX has more expansion bays than mATX. The USB and Audio connections go onto motherboard by 6” long cables. The lights and buttons connect to the motherboard too (see motherboard manual). The hard drive goes under the floppy drive slot. ATX cases have lots more spaces for hard drives, while mATX has 2-3 ATX has up to 9. So if your are going to use it as a PVR or server then a ATX case is better for you. An ATX case can also fit in any motherboard. But if you are short on space then a Micro ATX case will be better for you.
