The L675D-S7046 is light on features, more than other similar books price. Its 320GB hard drive is relatively small compared to the 500 GB hard drive you get with the Acer Aspire AS7741Z-4815 ($ 599.98 list, 3.5 stars), and lack of an HDMI port, which is included in the Acer and the Acer Aspire AS5745-AS7741Z 7247 ($ 649.98, 4.5 stars).

Performance
Toshiba Satellite L675D-S7046 L675D-S7046 features an AMD Phenom II N850 Processor, 2.2 GHz triple-core CPU. It also comes with 4 GB of system RAM and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 graphics card, which is part of AMD. Score from 4246 PCMark Vantage our test system performance was slightly lower than the Acer Aspire AS7741Z (5252), which uses the inexpensive Intel Pentium processor, P6100, and much less the results from the advanced HP Pavilion dv7-4083c -l (5677), and the Aspire TimelineX AS5820T-5951 (5233), which uses the Core Core i5 and i3, respectively. Will outperform the HP Pavilion dv6-3122us AMD Turion 2.4GHz, and even if II, P540. L675D-S7046 triple-core has a slight edge on both CPU Cinebench R11.5 (1.87) and test the handbrake (3:26) that encodes the test more than the HP dv6-3122us (Cinebench: 1.39 , handbrake: 3: 45) and Acer AS7741z (1.33, 3:42) for laptops.
Toshiba Satellite L675D-low price will help take some sting S7046 out of the lackluster performance, but it is difficult to recommend this model when you get the best performance of the laptop like the Acer Aspire AS7741Z-4815, also available at Staples, $ 50 to less than what you pay L675D-S7046. If you want more robust features, improved performance and the ability to change the energy-saving integrated graphics and a separate GPU, ATI, HP Pavilion dv7-l-4083c is the best choice for desktop replacement notebooks.
The L675D-S7046 has not been able to run our test play Crysis, but it did turn a score of 8.7 fps in our low-resolution 2 Lost Planet DX9 test, which means mediocre gaming performance. 48Wh battery only lasted 3 hours and 7 minutes in our MobileMark 2007 battery test, which may seem like a long 17-inch laptop, but nothing compared to the HP Pavilion dv7-4083cl ($ 999 list, 4 stars) (4: 45) and Acer Aspire 5951-TimelineXAS5820T ($ 723 street, 4 stars) (7:37).
