El Reg reports on upcoming keyboard ideas from Toshiba:

Toshiba USA has revealed that it will add a key dedicated to summoning Cortana, Windows 10's digital assistant.

Toshiba's Jeff Barney, the company's veep and GM for all things PC in North America, says the new button will appear on every keyboard the company sells.

PCWorld reports that "the key will sit in the upper left area, near the function keys".

A quick glance at the many keyboards in Vulture Souths eyrie suggests that this means the ESC key is in peril.

    They sure do. When I worked at Toshiba, I had a M9. I carried that laptop all over the world. Aside from a hard drive failure after ~3 years I never had a problem. Their business laptops are very boring and conservative, but reliable, just like the Thinkpad series used to be.

      Can confirm for their consumer laptops as well. Bought at least 4 of them around 10 years ago or so. One of them is still running and operating today with a relative.

      I had more problems with my HP equipment then I did Toshiba. They made good stuff when I was buying them.
