Background
Toshiba was a multinational corporation credited with inventing flash memory and for being one of the biggest producers of consumer electronics in the world. However, due to a series of financial issues and scandals, the company declined and eventually sold 80.1% of their personal computer business to Sharp Corporation in June 2018. Sharp renamed the brand ‘Dynabook’, and purchased the remaining 19.9% of the business two years later on June 30th, 2020.
Toshiba laptops sometimes use modular design, which makes them more repairable.
