Which Tech brands do you trust most?


I would personally have to say Intel.

 

They just over engineer everything and put far more R&D into everything they make that it's just ... Reliable.  It just works.

 

Reliable is the first word that comes to mind when I think Intel.

 

For example in one of the recent WAN shows Linus mentioned "That's such an Intel thing to do" when it was shown in the SSD

torture test with all of those SSD's constantly writing to themselves that Intel purposely made their own SSD fail at a certain limit.

 

However it didn't actually "Fail".  Intel had a specification for the product, and knew that it could at least go that far.  And that it would 

definitely go a bit further.  But once they got to a point where they thought the drive had a good chance of failing after that number of writes, they

just basically told the drive to stop working and refuse to do anything anymore.  It wasn't completely done for though as they still made it possible to recover 

the data from the drive!

 

Someone (more likely a large group of people) at Intel actually had to put thought into that, and design the product to do that.  They knew perfectly well that no consumer would EVER

use the drive to that extent EVER, and yet they still put that feature in, because it's freaking Intel.

 

That is why they are my most trusted brand.

Antec, XFX, and Asus. All 3 have come through on their warranties. Antec particularly so I can't recommend them enough, even if they've dwindled a little bit recently.

Samsung - for their TVs, monitors, and phones as well. 

 

Logitech - have been using their mice FOREVER, they are just great, the only mice that had broke was a wireless mouse that had already lasted 7 years, and my M500, but that model is known to be a little worse.

 

Asus - for their motherboards and graphics cards. Running an Asus P4P800-VM mobo and Asus V7700 32MB graphics card in my desktop as we speak.

 

Intel - because great processors. I don't need to go the AMD route again.

 

Seagate - I must be the only one which still likes this brand for their hard drives. These hard drives have never failed on me, and when I was unsure, SeaTools helped me out a lot.

 

Superlux - I didn't know what to expect from such an unknown brand with cheap products, but I was very pleasantly surprised by the audio quality and extras I got with my headphones. The build quality is eh, but I'll see if it holds on well.

 

HP - I had an 2001 desktop PC from them, which after heavy use at various locations still held on very well, was still quick and nimble. I sold it last year, and it still ran great. However, the ball mouse was very awkward and there is little use left to the CRT monitor I got with it (it blew).

 

 

Not sure about:

MSI - the motherboard I had from them was great, but it had audio issues, and my MSI laptop has poor build quality.

 

Sony - I loved my PlayStation 2 and to a certain extent my PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. But I'm not going to buy anymore consoles from them with this business model.

 

 

Don't trust:

Tritton, or any MadCatz product for that matter - had two headsets from them, both broke within warranty because of poor build quality. And the sound quality of my cheap earbuds was better. Atleast the customer support was acceptable.

 

Alcatel - terrible, terrible budget smartphones. Slow, unstable, runs hot when watching videos etc.

 

Speedlink - had a headset from them, it broke within warranty, the customer support was really bad.

Desktop: Intel Core i3-6100, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, GeForce GTX 750 Ti

I think, Sony. They keep even their low-end stuff on the great level of quality.

And failing to act, for fear of the risk, is no different than a living death. No matter what world you’re in.

"They don't do anything for the customer" "They Just Try To Make Money".

First off they make games, that's what they do. Secondly the goal of every company in the world is to "Just Make Money" but they can't. You see, they have to release something people want to purchase in exchange for currency.
