Which Tech brands do you trust most?


I may have replied to this before, but now I'm thinking Fractal Design or Corsair, because their products haven't failed me yet. Or Blue. My Snowball iCE hasn't done anything bad yet.

Or Anker. We have a few of their devices and they've never malfunctioned.

Sig under construction.

Hmm tough one. I guess when it comes to computer related stuff Asus would probably be my number one choice. Even on the rare occasion I have had a problem, they've been second to none when it comes to customer support!

 

As for the worst, that is easy. MSI. I don't even consider their products any more because of poor reliability and dreadful support!

 

Software I'd have to say its a tie between Adobe and Microsoft.  Always had good support from both.

 

I think that's about it. My list of worst brand though, that would be huge!

Trusted like blindly buy product from them and know they just work and also have support team that goes beyond replying "Hey did you check the compatibility list"?

I would point to Apple here (and this is why I don't usually go after the truedted brand criteria) 

Other brands ... well depends on how much you pay.. Lower end boards from Asus / Gigabyte did fail on me in the past while their higher end boards were rock solid.

Never used one of their PSUs, but having used one of their case, and several fans, I would not touch their brand again. (the M90 mouse from them is fine, but the software is shite, making it just a high priced mouse).

Well, for the same price or less you can generally get a Seasonic, SuperFlower or Delta Electronics OEM PSU. As you can see from this review http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=416it scores very low for a PSU marked at this price range. It uses mediocre caps, fairly bad soldering and seemingly bad QC as well from CWT. Their higher end AXi/HXi units are fine (Flextronics OEM), but CS/CX/VS etc are ones to not touch at the price. They aren't bad, but they are far from the best

Fair enough. I have had a different experience. Their Case (750d) not only arrived damaged, but I would have had to pay return shipping to get it repaired/replaced (making it cheaper to have gotten a much higher end case). Their fans are not the worst, but they were extremely loud, and lack ANY speed control at all, short of a DC resistor, which would have made a Noctua cheaper. Had I paid my own money for them, I would have returned them...

Yeah but they aren't the best. That's a matter of opinion, not based on anything factual other than what they have led you to believe through their marketing tactics. They are many many other car brands that out perform Mercedes in many ways. This does not make them the best.

No they have led me to believe this though years of Mercedes ownership, seeing cars from other makers the same age rusting, falling apart and ageing badly while the Mercs keep going strong.
