	In general, Toshiba laptops made from around 1990s, possibly even before, up to the late 90s, can be considered good in terms of built quality, choice of hardware and performance. It was above some typical Dell and Compaq laptops, in my opinion. However, since the start of the IBM Thinkpad line the entire Toshiba laptop range was only on par or at slightly less build quality, performance, features, than IBM. There were also some notorious flaws in hardware that were more prominent than on IBM, such as those leading to board issues, from my small sample set and experience. Additionally, Toshiba tended to be more keen on keeping various obsolete parts, technology or old features slightly longer than manufacturers such as DELL and IBM (for instance, offering mediocre keyboards, few if any screen brightness adjustments, slow or proprietary memory expansion, slightly slower graphics, obsolete screen technology such as passive-matrix LCDs), while it offered similar or good audio capability (favouring Yamaha chips and power saving features that did not require additional software).

Also, Toshiba can be credited with launching and being quite successful at releasing some very compact laptops or subnotebooks, notably the Portege range.
