This Toshiba Satellite is the worst

- Remember when Toshiba made awesome laptops? This isn't one of them. They were one of the first Japanese laptop manufacturer's and they made some awesome computer. I personally had one in 2010 that I have fond memories of playing Team Fortress 2 on, it had an i7 and Nvidia Graphics chip. I had to run a fan INTO the heatsink so that it wouldn't shut down once it reached 100c. But the build quality was awesome and the keyboard was a pleasure to type on. What happened? Greed. Toshiba began losing money and started cheaping out on materials and build quality. This POS Satellite is the product of that. Shortly after this, they sold their laptop division to Sharp, who further gutted it and changed the name to Dynabook. There's your history lesson.

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.
i had the one w an athlon 64 or something lol and igpu died of thermal failure
In your opinion, what’s the best laptop ever made? Best brands?
Wasn't that due to their nuclear business imploding?
Used to have Toshiba NB series notebook (I belive it’s NB200) other than it’s slow, it is fine, could be wrong but my aunt still have it but the LCD has a line on it/or basically broken (caused by human error, probably dropped or it was pressured with something on top of it while it is closed)

Fun fact: you can find a lot of Toshiba disks in older laptops
3rd largest HDD manufacturer in the world, and quite reliable at that. Completely different company than what you see here.
@@SalemTechspertsthat’s the funny part their disks (from my experience) last AGES. Can’t say the same for their other stuff I’ve had the displeasure of owning.
I instead saw a Fujitsu hdd. It has the lifespan of milk. One day it's write and read speeds were on the 500mb/s now they are max 10mb/s. I use much seagate and western digital. Seagate lasts me longer and i think is better
In Xbox 1s too lol Microsoft says that their HDD are the most reliable
Hitachi (HGST) who bought IBM HDD made good HDD..but after WD bought HGST , WD merged it and use its patents in some of WD products.

Hp: hardware problems
@@marcobincoletto8355the real meaning behind hp
HP isn't any better than Toshiba according to my experience. I had a HP m6-w011dx laptop back in 2015, and it had a habit of randomly crashing (boot device not found) miduse. It's very unlikely that it is caused by the HDD because its SMART is perfect with no bad sectors. So that means it is very likely the motherboard issue. I had to hard reboot the laptop by holding down the power button to make it work again. It also has Windows 8.1 Which is a crappy version of Windows anyway.
@@harddrive7316why do people keep getting problems with hp?
I felt that deep down. I do what this guy does for a living and I have a personal vendetta against HP and all of my coworkers know it because they keep throwing the HP's my way 🥲
When I was younger, I used to think “Toshiba” was called “Tobashia” or something like that
Bro believe the limit is suicide so he apologies 💀
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 still have mine in my desk somewhere. It immediately was annihilated after falling off of my coffee table (can’t really remember how that happened) that’s maybe around two feet high from the floor. Half of the plastic casing came off, and the display was fubard.
@Donyourmom Same I have it in a drawer but man is it slow, takes about a minute to get to the home screen and ate through batteries. I stopped using around this time last year when I upgraded to a PC
Me too
Had one in college! It's still kicking.
Same here.
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.
The shell of mine broke, got caught in the fan, and turned into shrapnel
Coming from someone who uses a Toshiba Satellite L755-S5359 from 2012 running Windows 10 as my main, I am grateful.
Update: It runs Windows11-x Lite now. Windows 11 but for old pc
I think the one in the video is a C-model Satellite laptop. The L series have bit better finish and build quality.
I also have a Satellite with 16GB DDR3 ram and also an almost new (I forgot to activate it) M930 NVIDEA GTX. It also has an i7-5500U CPU but the only downside is that the disc drive no longer opens
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.
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.
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
His first short in which he didn't say: I'm the greatest technician ever lived
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...
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.
I cant elaborate how much i love the vibe of these videos, it's perfect

@@SalemTechsperts sorry bout that just got back home yeah it's the exact same model and still works fine.
My dad got a Toshiba from his first salary in 2011, that thing slaps and still works perfectly fine today
"This Toshiba-" yep i heard enough
I got a satellite from 2015 and it still turns on.
That's all, it just turns on.
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.
The 15 bs was appropriately named
Had an older Toshiba, got me through highschool and a computer science degree. Still kicking around even after all these years.
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.
Bro my HP did that corner break too 😅
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
Throw an SSD in there and it will last longer than humans. Those things were built with such good quality materials. It's such a shame how they ended up.
I loved that generation of satellite they were tanks, its a shame they went down hill as fast as they did
@@SalemTechspertssadly most toshiba of that period can’t handle so much ram. i have a 2008 toshiba that can handle just 2gb of ram, today is useless until you use it for retrogaming

@@nitroseven afaik qosmio was the high end series, so it was very good quality
I had a toshiba satelite from 1995. Fished it out of a dumpster. Ran windows 3.1. It was great
The sentence inplace of TGTTEL was so sweet
i have a 2014 hp laptop where the screen is literally falling out of place and the plastic around the hinge is snapped comepeltly so every time u move the screen the laptops top cover comes off almost compeletly and the screen falls behind it so i have to keep some kind of heavy thing behind the screen to keep it open and together. then i decided that i had enough once the screen started disconnecting from the motherboard every now and ten and glitching so i just turned it into a desktop because it was still really powerful. i still use it today!
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. 😭
The Toshiba I owned was slow and the hinges broke.
Same but still works. I bought it in 2010.
The hinges on my 2002 broke also. I hated that thing. Good speakers though
same, but i still use it.(its a toshiba from 2010-2011)
I used to have a Toshiba before, Back in 2016-17 I used to play a TON of Roblox on it.
Somebody's gam gam tried to run me off the road this morning. Not only did she totally run the red light, almost hitting me, but she was DRIVING IN THE OPPOSITE LANE OF TRAFFIC.
I still have one of the old satellites on one of my shelfs, still works, planning to upgrade soon.
I have a Toshiba laptop that's an absolute tank. It's almost 20 years old!!
Same
Knew a friend who owned a Toshiba and well, it had a broken frame
Oh my, did they take notes from sony when naming this thing?
I had a 2009 Toshiba Satellite (I forget the model number). Within three months it had to have a new MoBo and keyboard. It used to get VERY toasty, even with regular cleaning. The lacquer on the wrist rest bubbled and flaked, the screen bezel cracked. I still made it limp on for eight years though.
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!
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.
This generation of satellites are the same way
My mom has a slightly older one that we still use, it hard carried during lockdown and its still a good daily laptop
I'm curious what model it is, I'd love to know!
@SalemTechsperts Satellite C675-S7103, only issue with it now is that the Battery failed in 2022 and we haven't gotten around to fixing it. It's only 2 pull tabs to remove it though :)

@@SalemTechspertsI used my Toshiba satellite from I believe 2003. It was a true tank, I used it until 2018, until I upgraded. Just incase you are wondering it's a S5200-903
As a technician, most of the Toshiba machines I used to service, were like this, disposable.
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

Can't remember this specific one from the recycling center but there were some that you could twist so much some of the screws popped out.
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.

It does have a broken hinge though.
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.

This was my first laptop I personally owned it’s so bad, it fell once and hasn’t worked ever since😭
Had one of these back in the day. Lasted 3 years and then the LCD started crapping out, so I got a new laptop.
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.
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.
Dude. I had one of these, it was a gift from my grandfather when he upgraded. I still have it somewhere, with bits of it falling off of course!
Once, the dang screen broke on it and I lost the charger to it.
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
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
My grandparents still have 2 of those but they have to be earlier models since they haven't fallen apart yet lol
Affirmation isn't what I expected to hear from the greatest technician that ever lived, but I'm thankful regardless
I had one of these. The HD failed in the first month, so I sent it in. Toshiba claimed that I had replaced factory parts with aftermarket and refused the repair. It was literally unopened.
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.
