To be fair, Toshiba isn't specifically known for really sleak designs. The Satellite series especially has always been pretty utilatarian. But you normally have a good idea of what you're getting with Toshiba, and for a reasonable price. Personally I've owned two Toshiba laptops in my life..... an old Satellite Pro (was some sort of PII-based system), and a Toshiba Portege 3015ct, which was really an impressive laptop (about .75 inches thin, under 3 pounds, etc.). I think the Porteges especially have often had very nice and slick designs, actually. Toshiba doesn't really make anything that currently appeals to me, but again, comparing their offerings to Apple is probably missing the point (as would be comparing their offerings to, say, Sony).
