why Toshiba failed | why Toshiba stopped making laptops

Toshiba, once a giant in the tech world, has almost vanished from the laptop market. So, what went wrong?"
back to the 1980s, "Toshiba was one of the first to create portable PCs. Their innovation shaped the laptop industry."
But as the competition heated up in the 2000s, Toshiba’s leadership struggled to adapt. Other brands like acer, HP, and lenovo surging ahead, were innovating faster, leaving Toshiba behind."
Under Toshiba’s leadership, costly decisions were made. They were slow to evolve,
Add to that financial scandals and fraud where Toshiba was found to have manipulated its financial records to inflate profits over several years.
And it wasn’t just the tech business that hit hard. Under the management of Nishida Atsutoshi, Toshiba was heavily involved in Japan’s nuclear industry. After the devastating earthquake and tsunami in 2011, their nuclear facility at Fukushima was severely damaged."
"The fallout from this disaster added to their financial woes, causing huge losses. The company had to spend billions in cleanup and compensation costs."
Unable to recover from these setbacks, Toshiba decided to sell its laptop business in 2020. Sharp took over, and that’s why you won’t see Toshiba laptops today."
Toshiba’s laptop legacy may be gone, but their story is a reminder of how big risks and slow decisions can lead even tech giants to disappear."
