There are many manufacturers of laptops in the market today, but it seems that we can now remove Toshiba from that list as the company has quietly announced that it will exit the laptop market. The company revealed that it has transferred all of its remaining stakes in the PC business to Sharp.
Toshiba's exit shouldn't really be surprising if you've been following the news. In 2018, the company had already sold 80.1 percent of its PC division to Sharp, and now it appears that Sharp now owns 100 percent of that division after Toshiba has completely stopped selling laptops.
Sharp currently sells its laptops under the name Dynabook, but it is not a brand known to many. Toshiba laptops have also not enjoyed the same level of appeal compared to other brands that manufacture computers such as Apple, Dell, Asus or Acer, to name a few, so as we said, the company's decision to exit the laptop market is not surprising.
However, the company has been in the computing business for more than 30 years, so for those who grew up using Toshiba computers it might feel sorry for the move.
