In particular, I would cite the following as points to improve:
- the stupid PCMCIA port covers (this is the WORST design I've seen)
- the port cover (a bit shaky)
- the legs to tilt your machine with (a bit shaky)
- the strange outer material which seems to attract all sorts of nasty
materials
- the screen always gets the "trackpoint smudge"
Add the following:
- wrist-rest (everyone else has one, how hard can it be?)
- SCSI port instead of the ludicrously priced dock II

Yes, Toshiba notebooks are nicely built. And they are finely getting
the clue that no one likes the side-mounted trackballs!
