What Happened To Toshiba?

In the 2000s, Toshiba was one of the largest consumer electronics brands in the world. They made everything from laptops and TVs to refrigerators and dryers. You could say that they were the Japanese version of Samsung. But, over the past 10 years, Toshiba has become more and more irrelevant and most people have completely forgotten about them. In fact, things have gotten so bad that Toshiba has sold certain parts of their business, they shut down their laptop business, they faked their numbers, and one of their subsidiaries even filed for bankruptcy. This is really quite a shame given that Toshiba has been around for nearly 150 years, and they were the pioneers of many technologies such as flash memory. And who could forget their famous New Year countdown? Despite all this though, considering Toshiba's current situation, the future doesn't look so bright. This isn't to say that Toshiba is going to file for bankruptcy tomorrow, but it looks like they're going to continue slowly declining until that becomes their only option. This video explains the story of Toshiba and what happened to Toshiba.

"Have you ever had a Toshiba laptop?" - I'm watching this on my almost exactly 12 years old Toshiba laptop and with only minimal tweaking it still runs like a charm. You really can still feel the quality on that machine.
They may have fallen over the last years, but man...That was a high platform they started from.

Toshiba satellite series was one of the best laptops during that era… Value for money, reliability and performance.

I have a Toshiba laptop, it's 10 years old and still working, they really built those things to last.

I love how toshiba products are very long lasting. My late dad bought toshiba refrigerator in 2005 and still working well until today with just few repairs. It even survived flooding and various power outage. Simply impressive

Talking about Toshiba, reliability will comes to mind. No doubt Toshiba technology is a bit behind other competitive brands but their product really last. My Toshiba Laptop Satellite C640 is still alive and kicking after 11 years of service.

I'm Japanese and the explanation was really good.
One thing to consider is that the Japanese Government is supporting Toshiba quite heavily because of its deep links to the defense industry.
I believe that Toshiba is still going to be alive for a while.

I have a Toshiba laptop, I bought it really cheap as the store was getting rid of the model. It's been more than 6 years and the laptop still works, I upgraded the RAM as the Windows was upgraded to Win 10 by itself, Toshiba designed a small cover for easy RAM upgrade that was a really convenient design.

Toshiba's entry level laptops were more reliable than most, particularly HP's garbage. My first laptop was a grey slab Toshiba with an actual colour lcd panel, fellow travelers were amazed that the thing lasted for almost an entire transatlantic flight. Japanese electronics companies have yet to understand the importance of entire ecosystems: operating systems, apps, customers themselves; and got stuck in low margin businesses.

I did laptop repair back in the early 2000s. Toshiba laptops were, by far, the worst to work on; no one wanted to take a Toshiba ticket. They were overly-complex and impossible to piece back together. A mainboard replacement that would otherwise take 1 hour in a Dell, would take a full day for a Toshiba. Anyway, great channel. Thanks for all the amazing content!

[lucidmoses]

That's the thing about a company being out of mind. I didn't even notice them going away.

[Borsia]

I had several Toshiba laptops and loved them. I was disappointed that they went out of production and would have replaced my current Toshiba laptops with Toshibas.
I had nothing but great luck with them and they proved to be rugged and reliable. I still have one and it still performs well for its age. But I will have to replace it soon with something else in order to run up to date programs.

I have nothing but fond memories of Toshiba electronics. I had (& still have!) a Toshiba 'walkman' which was even smaller than the cassette it played from the mid 80's. I have had countless other Toshiba products over the years, including the almost perfect 40" LCD TV I still watch daily. When I lived in Japan in the 90's, they were as prominent as Sony, Sharp, & Panasonic and always seemed to be about 10-20% cheaper, but just as good quality. I hope they hang in there and make a comeback and continue to innovate consumer electronics. がんばって!

I feel bad for Toshiba. I had 2 Toshiba laptops in the past decade. Both were Satellite series and brilliant machines. Sad to hear where Toshiba is today.

[ktmoninspire]

Still remember in late 2000's Toshiba laptops in my country were known for their reliability, owned one which lasted for almost 10years without any issues until it died.

[hallmobility]

Toshiba has always been top grade super reliable electronics equipment in my book. My Toshiba transistor radio with the steel front casing was indestructible. I am still using a 15-yr old Toshiba laptop that just won't quit.

[shawnpollard]

Definitely a shame. I still have my Toshiba Satellite from 2007 and although it is very outdated, it runs perfectly. And my Toshiba TV from 2009 is still in use today as well! Thier products weren't the best you could buy, but they were the best value and extremely reliable.

[jnb]

What's sad is Toshiba was the brand that always introduced things first in their laptops - you kind of pointed to the fact that Toshiba was the inventor of a lot of the stuff we take for granted today. People may not have been loyal to them but they will miss them even without recognizing it.

[somerandomfella]

If only these Japanese companies simplified & modernised they'd become unstoppable. Eg smaller focused range of products.

[andrewadams]

I had no idea they tanked so badly! Thanks for sharing this! I did tech support for their laptops and desktops in the late 90's and I remember training and going through slides on how they were assembled. Hands down the most boring training I've ever experienced! At least the room was dark and we could catch up on some sleep during the slide show.

As a laptop repair technician, Toshiba laptops with Nec Tokin filter capacitors were very notorious for random shutdowns and bluescreens back in the day.
