Future for Toshiba laptops?

[sbarkan]

I'm considering buying a new Toshiba laptop, but am concerned about their possibly shaky future, their going in a different direction, layoffs following a huge "accounting scandal," etc. Wondering if it would be unwise to invest in them at this time, not knowing what support for individual PC owners will exist, etc.

Thanks for any input!

I wouldn't. I bought a Sony just before they closed, and now stuck on windows 7.

I owned a Toshiba laptop in college and will never own another. Piece. Of. ****.
