I managed to identify it as an older toshiba laptop. it's layout isn't exactly the same. the laptop has a different enter key and some other changes.

I've used one of those laptops. Rubber sleeve keyboard.

Many early laptops have mechanical switches.  If you could rip a keyboard out of one that had a trackpoint, that would be really cool.  I still hope to make the keyboard from my IBM 5140 into a usable keyboard, it's got Brown ALPS and Green Baby ALPS.
