Background and Identification

The Toshiba Satellite C875-S7304 was released in April 2012 as part of Toshiba’s refreshed C Series. As part of the C Series, it was aimed at budget-conscious consumers looking for an entry-level laptop equipped with Windows 8. With an Intel processor, a 17.3 inch display, and 500 GB of storage, the C875-S7304 offered respectable performance for routine tasks at a price of around $600. Upon a C Series refresh in June 2015, the C875-S7304 was discontinued.

The Toshiba Satellite C875-S7304 is easily identified by a small plaque on the underside of the laptop near the optical drive. The plaque includes the manufacturer’s name - Toshiba - and the model - Satellite C875-S7304.
