Verdict: 

A good-performing budget notebook, but it needs a larger battery.

Toshiba’s Satellite L750 is another 15.6in model selling at the same price as Acer’s 5830TG and the Fujitsu’s AH531. In terms of value, it probably splits them down the middle. The 750GB hard drive, HDMI output and USB 3.0 ports mark it as a current-generation notebook and its Core i5-2410M chip is a good performer.

Less impressive is the battery: Toshiba is using basic six-cell (10.8V/4400mAh) Lithium-ion, but when competitors are using larger-capacity batteries, its 2 hours 34 minutes result in our battery test is on the low side.

The GeForce GT 525M graphics solution is of moderate value, given it only just gets past Intel’s integrated graphics for gaming speed.
