This Toshiba Satellite is the worst  

Prior to 2014, Toshiba made REALLY GOOD laptops. I had one in 2010, it was a tank. Of course some had design flaws and other issues, but nothing that had to do with build quality. In 2014, they were in the midst of losing MASSIVE amounts of money, so they responded by making the cheapest possible laptop and completely decimating their reputation before they sold 80% of their computer division to Sharp, who then bought the other 20% later on.

Fun fact: you can find a lot of Toshiba disks in older laptops

The "you're awesome and I love you" made me less depressed. Thank you.

He roasts you in every way but when it comes to depression he doesn't joke about it

C3- Who give a fu--. Best line ever. Who comes up with these names

“A battery that lasts half as long as you do” Bro didn’t have to do me dirty 😭

the fact that when you showed the clip of a broken HP that was EXACTLY what happened to the old HP laptop we used

Mom and I inherited a Toshiba laptop that was probably about a year old in 2011. It is still our main computer to this day, though it is starting to really struggle with running modern sites as it is now at least 14 years old and still running Windows 7 (not like we could update it anyways lol). That thing has had a rough life, too. It actually outlived the power cord it came with, which blew a capacitor or something last year and was easily replaced (and no worries about exploding batteries, because ours died ages ago, so we popped it off the back and then never got around to replacing it lol). It's a bummer that Toshiba sold out so badly when they clearly have the capability to make fantastic laptops and are just choosing not to.

bro is so aggressive and im so here for it

"And I hate HP" Me watching this video with my HP laptop next to me: 😦

My Toshiba is still running like a champ

I remember that around the time this laptop came out, I was studying computer science and seeing many classmates with trash computers like this struggling to do simple course programs. They would spend more on books we didn't need or read than a computer required to pass multiple classes. I took some of my loan money (that I paid back in full) to get a T series Lenovo that still runs great 10 years later with only an SSD and RAM upgrade.

"and plastic that's as strong as your will to live" bro insulted the whole population ☠️

The Most Wholesome Technician To Ever Live is so heart warming.

That laptop got me through college, and it still lives to this day. It was great.

the "jk you're awesome and I love you" actually made me happier today, been sad all week. thank you 😭

me literally watching this short on a Satellite L55-B5338: 💀

"The battery that lasts half as long as you" Bro violated me in any ways possible💀

Agreed. Toshiba should be ashamed. I used to fix laptops and the second I saw one of them I knew it wouldn't end well.

When I was younger, I used to think “Toshiba” was called “Tobashia” or something like that

Coming from someone who uses a Toshiba Satellite L755-S5359 from 2012 running Windows 10 as my main, I am grateful.

“And plastic that is strong as your will to live” I took that personally

We were unfortunate to own this once. It was so bad that one day my dad got so angry at it he threw it outside

As a technician, most of the Toshiba machines I used to service, were like this, disposable.

When I was a young teen playing games with my friend, everytime one of my buddies Toshiba crashed or started acting janky I would yell "Toshiba powers, activate!". He hated it.

This was my first laptop. Every time I would open it I was afraid I was gonna crack it in half. Over all though, wasn’t really that bad. Lasted like 2years and then I got a new one.

I owned one of the older model of those. Couldn’t hold a charge, hinge broke, and the fan was louder than the speakers. It also barely ran Roblox on low.

I "owned" a Toshiba Ultrabook thin laptop from around 2014 which was given to me for Data Recovery after water was spilled on it and it wouldn't turn on. Neither Geek Squat or Microcenter was able to get it working. Ironically, all it needed was the daughter board with the power switch and the ribbon cable for said daughter board. So I found the parts online for $30 or so and swapped them in along with a new battery. The battery charge never read correctly when unplugged from the wall, but it ran for the right amount of time. I gave it to my father to use for mostly mundane tasks. Oh I also upgraded to a SATA SSD and 16GB of RAM, which was the maximum it could take, but I got those parts essentially free too from other projects. The original owner had replaced it under his accidental damage warranty, so he never wanted it back. I could probably fix the battery percentage issue, too, if I wanted to. Not worth it at this point though.

In the early mid to late 2000s I worked in the IT department at my college. Toshibas were the most common student laptops we saw. And invariably people would say "I should just get a MacBook, my friend has a MacBook and they never have any problems." Well, yeah. Their MacBook cost 5-10x what your Toshiba did...

His first short in which he didn't say: I'm the greatest technician ever lived

Bro believe the limit is suicide so he apologies 💀

"And the plastic as strong as your will to live" Damm... How did you know? I'm serious

Had one in college! It's still kicking.

I was given a Toshiba Satellite by my university when I started as an undergrad in 2011. I didn't ask for it nor want it as I already had a decent laptop, but I'm pretty sure the uni got a generous kickback from Toshiba for giving them away. It was absolute garbage. Slow as hell, repeatedly crashed and blue screened, especially running off the battery, and weighed an absolute tonne. I even gave it back to the uni, clearly explaining the issues with it. They sent it back to the distributor, who inspected in and said everything was fine, and mailed it back to me. 😭

I have 3 Toshibas, one from 2015 and two from 2009. They actually held up really well, surprisingly

I still have my dad’s and it STILL works to this day. Mostly because me, and him used to take it apart often for practice, and to clean it out.

The worst of the bunch is the Toshiba C50-B. It would break near the upper part of the keyboard. We replaced a lot of them, and sometimes there are still clients who come in and complain to one of these that is borken to pieces. But I think HP still takes the lead with the 250 G6/15-BS.

My dad got a Toshiba from his first salary in 2011, that thing slaps and still works perfectly fine today

Once, the dang screen broke on it and I lost the charger to it.

We got two Toshibas from my grandparents, they had them for like 14-15 years, we have them since 3-5 years and they are still working just fine.

I had a toshiba satelite from 1995. Fished it out of a dumpster. Ran windows 3.1. It was great

My first laptop was a Toshiba Satelite from 2006. It still runs fine, got the first OS installed (XP) and goes like a tank.

I got a satellite from 2015 and it still turns on. That's all, it just turns on.

This shows why used business class notebooks are the wise choice over cheap new junk. In the era that Toshiba was new I was building T-61s from ebay wrecks and Nivida GPU fail donors (T61p display on an Intel GPU base worked nicely) and I still have most of them (now as shop PCs etc).

I cant elaborate how much i love the vibe of these videos, it's perfect

Had an older Toshiba, got me through highschool and a computer science degree. Still kicking around even after all these years.

My regular laptop is a Toshiba P875 - S7200. 1080p, installed Win 10 Pro, upped the RAM, a new HDD... The CPU can also be upgraded to a quad core. There's a second bay for an additional HDD/ SSD. 17" screen? Oh yeah!

Chromebook: “takes notes”

I had an old Toshiba satellite from 2007, and while it isn't fast it still works as well as ever. It's too bad they seemed to get really bad not long after

Bro forgot to say "The greatest technician that ever lived" 💀

had a toshiba back in 2010. still works to this day w/ a second gen i5. needs to repaste but other that that. very good. also, it wasnt a gaming laptop, but it still survived some games

Stop insulting my laptop please it’s doing its best

I had a similar one. Atrocious build quality. Screen layers literally separated and half the screen went black, then the plastic hinge blew apart. It was garbage.

I have a Toshiba laptop that's an absolute tank. It's almost 20 years old!!

I saw one of these at an auction, and it had no bottom cover and no battery. Was very trashy

I used to have a Toshiba. The right hinge got locked up and when I opened it again, that hinge uprooted itself and made it impossible to close again.

I still have mines and it still works fine. I use it to host random light weight servers .

the Hp roast is personal 😂

I'm literally holding it right now 😂. It broke when I was around 8, now I'm 17 and I just found it in my old cupboard and all the rubber and plastic is falling out

My dad owns a Toshiba laptop, he said it was the best laptop he used although it only even runs windows 7 and has GIANT gaps between the mouse buttons and the track pad for some reason with a easy swappable battery and it had an issue with the mother board I think, so now whenever it's turned on it just does a bootloop just turning off and on

The Toshiba I owned was slow and the hinges broke.

“WHO GIVES A F*CK”iam dead💀

I still have my Toshiba satellite Pro in my collection of laptops. This was my main laptop in 2022 but when I recently used it, the keyboard is cooked as it thinks it is pressing the k key but it's not. So I opened it and the plastic broke in many pieces and I said to myself. Screw that and I left it In my storage.

Bro my HP did that corner break too 😅

I used to “work” on Toshiba satellites. I had to remove them from their boxes , install memory upgrades and re-box them. I just remembered you had to be careful because it was real easy to destroy the threads.

Grandma's Buick was probably actually pretty fast, especially if it was a 90s Riviera 😆

I had a Toshiba that lasted me a decade until the keyboard broke and needed a new motherboard. Thing was a champ.

I used to sell a ton of these at Staples back in 2015 and 2016. They were garbage products and nobody ever wanted to spend the money on an extended warranty plan. So many of them came back in a year or less with problems that would either necessitate purchasing an entirely new laptop or spending an equal amount on repairs out of warranty.

Go back 15 years and every laptop I touched was badly designed. Imagine having to take off the bezel of the lcd screen to remove the keyboard to get to the HD. 20 plus screws and half of the holes were cracked from age. It was a mess.

Parents used to own a Toshiba. It was the family computer, ran well. Just replaced it a few days ago because we couldn’t update it to windows 10. Probably would have kept it if we could. I have so many memories of playing Minecraft with the boys on that thing…

"and plastics that's as strong as your will to live" me: **depression level has increased to +10**

No wonder why you don't see or hear of Toshiba anymore.

I still have one Celeron-based from around 2013, currently running Windows 10. I had to replace the battery and the keyboard, but it's still alive and kicking.

Bro literally roasted me to the point I went up to the terrace to jump off... and then he says "Just kidding, you're awesome and ILY" like IS THAT SUPPOSED TO HELP? 😂

the fact that this laptop is actually older than most skibidi toilet fans

Around Windows 8 - Windows 10 it was when I saw a lot of cheap laptops like this flood the market. I was lucky to have an HP that lasted from high school to university to my first career job. It still works to this day but it was time to retire it.

Knew a friend who owned a Toshiba and well, it had a broken frame

My mom has a slightly older one that we still use, it hard carried during lockdown and its still a good daily laptop

My brother has but no longer uses this laptop And the charger port is sticking out the case He now has a lenovo laptop

This laptop model of Toshiba was my first laptop in a long time back in 2014. it wasn't great and could barely game in any way and sucked for creating. But it did give me a ton of experience in upgrading and repairing laptops. That experience has really paid off.

I once had a shitty Toshiba laptop and if you even dared to adjust the screen tilt for some reason a part of the laptop would put so much pressure on the LCD panel that it nearly broke once.

My dad used to have one of those laptops. At one point, our family computer broke, and we had to use his laptop for stuff for a bit. Eventually, our computer got fixed, but afterward, my dad wouldn't stop claiming that me and my nephew installed stuff on it and was slowing it down. (I never installed anything, but my nephew did for a couple things. My dad was never tech savy either.) At one point, my dad was having a pretty bad day, and eventually he got so fed up and angry to the point where he snapped it in half with his bare hands and broke it to pieces right in front of me. I salvaged the hard drive for my pc, but we don't ever talk about that laptop again.

I think I have this laptop. Shockingly, it still works and never broke after having it for probably 10 or so years now, though it was not used for much of that.

Affirmation isn't what I expected to hear from the greatest technician that ever lived, but I'm thankful regardless

We have family Toshiba notebook from like 2013 or so, and it broke just once, when I droped it. Repair was good, and it runs Win 8.1. I know, that it was NOT one of the good Windows OSes, but I literally fell in love with it. The fresh feeling about it, and metro start were just the surface. I loved when I was a kid the Fresh Paint.

My mom got me one of these for Christmas in 2014 or 2016, either way I had a mid spec laptop at the time that I got from my dad that same year on my birthday. The mid spec pawn shop refurbished laptop blew that thing out of the water and it is still running as my backup to this day. The Toshiba was stripped for parts and the rest sent to an e waste facility to be recycled. I have another one that I don't dare touch as it would probably crumble to bits even with the spare parts I ripped off the old one XD

Fun fact, I have that same Exact laptop (the lower tier version of it) that landed in my possession, it’s actually in decent condition, I slapped 8gb ram and a 240gb ssd in it, and even though it has a Celeron it’s still very snappy, I also have a newer model of one of these that has a i5-5th gen

I have a satellite pro c660 from 2004 and it hasn't been repaired since, yet it still works perfectly, except for the fact that it's SUPER slow

I love the way how aggressively calm he is...

Had myself a toshiba L755D with the amd a6 quad core processor in it. Thing was a tank having survived 6 or 7 years of previous beatings by another owner and all it ended up needing to be brought back from the dead was a new battery, a charge port and the old hdd swapped for a 256 gig ssd. Was a fantastic machine and got me through all of highschool and a bit of my adult life before picking up an asus q552ub. Also yeah no those toshiba laptops from 2014 onwards were crap, but if you happen to have a 3d printer and some time on your hands they make excellent HTPCs. They run decently quietly too once released from the mess of a case they arrived in.

I've still got mine. It still works, but it's in the shed not being used. It does have a broken hinge though.

I had a Toshiba Satellite from 2007. Bro, that thing was a tank.

I've had 2 Toshiba laptops, one from 2008 which was an absolute tank until I dropped it in like 2020, and a 2015 satellite model which is actually still in great condition.

I had a Toshiba touch screen chromebook looking thing, had only 15gb of storage but I loved it. One day it just stopped charging and died.

Dad still uses his Toshiba from 2003, fell twice but is still chugging

This was my first laptop I personally owned it’s so bad, it fell once and hasn’t worked ever since😭

I remember that I used a Toshiba satellite L745 when I was a kid. As I got older, I began to enjoy computer building and fixing laptops. Then I realized how easy back then to repair old generation laptops. You can even remove the keyboard. YES! JUST THE KEYBOARD!

my family had one when i was very young that's still in pretty good condition if not counting the dead battery. we still use it this day to operate old electronics like our hp printer

Had one that broke and gave me the blue screen of death after 7 months

I have Toshiba Satellite from 2010 somewhere. It still turns on and works. That thing has the best quality plastic ive ever seen. Built like a tank . Very comfortable unbreakable keyboard. Mouse pad nicely hidden in chasis. Battery last for 20 minutes but its expected. I run Linux on that thing and it was ok. Had replaced hard drive and it had very easy acces with removable battery.
