^ Actually, for a while they made very good laptops. More or less from the Pentium I through III period.
I actually ran FreeBSD on a PI era Toshiba Satellite until FreeBSD 6 releases ... Even the battery lasted for 30-45 minutes!

New laptops however (Newer meaning Pentium M-ish and everything after that) are not so great ... To be fair, this isn't just Toshiba but laptop manufacturers in general ...
