BBC:
The Japanese giant Toshiba has sold its final stake in the personal computer maker Dynabook.
It means the firm no longer has a connection with making PCs or laptops.
Sharp bought 80% of Toshiba's personal computing arm in 2018 for $36m (£27m), and has now bought the remaining shares, Toshiba said in a statement.
Toshiba's first laptop, the T1100, launched in 1985. It weighed 4kg (8.8 pounds) and worked with 3.5 inch (8.8cm) floppy disks.
How much will Toshiba's departure from the laptop market be mourned?

What a coincidence my Toshiba Satellite also had broken hinges. They broke rather quickly, actually.

I was considering epoxying a cabinet hinge onto the thing for the win but friend's wife didn't like the idea. She'd rather prop it up with something.
