My first laptop was also a Toshiba but it was loud and plastickey and had some ACPI issue that meant power management didn’t work properly with Linux. For years I wished it was a Lenovo.
- HappyDaoDude 3y agoSpot on. Their laptops are so close to being great but there was always a little catch that made them just a hop and skip away from being all they could be. They could be wonderful design but manufactured with some less than stellar materials. Things like that.
- aetherspawn 3y agoI will admit it lasted a long time and it was easy to service -- I upgraded it about 5 times over 5 years before I eventually got rid of it. Actually, I gave it to my dad and he used it for a further 3 or 4 more years. It probably still works ... who knows where it is today. Around 3 years in I bought a new HP dv9700 on eBay and it failed within 6 months. HP declined to replace because it was from overseas. I ended up back on the "trusty Toshiba" which yeah I'll be honest it wasn't that bad for a cheap $1000 laptop.
