It was a long time coming: Laptop pioneer Toshiba wants to sell its laptop business and it has found a buyer. Sharp, a subsidiary of the huge ODM Foxconn, will buy the business for a comparably low price.

Reliable, probably. In the US, their consumer support was atrocious garbage. Maybe their corporate support was better, but that's hard to gauge as a consumer.
I will always have fond memories of my older Toshiba laptops from the early 2000s-mid 2010s. They were rock solid reliable and coming from someone that owned them all, it had the best trackpad, best keyboard, best updates, all at a price that was way better on the wallet than the bigger brands. Very sad to find out today they exited the PC business, but I knew something had been seeming off at Walmart for sometime.
