My first laptop was also a Toshiba but it was loud and plastickey and had some ACPI issue that meant power management didn’t work properly with Linux. For years I wished it was a Lenovo.
They could be wonderful design but manufactured with some less than stellar materials. Things like that.
Around 3 years in I bought a new HP dv9700 on eBay and it failed within 6 months. HP declined to replace because it was from overseas. I ended up back on the "trusty Toshiba" which yeah I'll be honest it wasn't that bad for a cheap $1000 laptop.
