"Never again" products

[Alariel]

Tablet. Any tablet. Not there's anything wrong with the one I have as such... I just never use the thing and never really have.

[Hiitchy]

Uhhh.... Seagate 4TB hard drives. Had one die on me, bought another one and that one ALSO died on me.

 

I also hate Rogers Bell and Telus, yet I still pay Telus monthly for my phone and Rogers monthly for internet... *sigh*

Another 4TB. I feel like I got a bad batch because Canada Computers makes sure every store has like 10+ of them.

Ah. I was thinking of going for the 2TB drive and if I need more than that I figure I can just get another 2TB drive or a larger 4TB drive from WD or something

Not a product, but Corsair customer support. Jesus. Waited 2 months for a reply from them, and their reply was basicly "add your receipt". Which I added 2 months ago.

I have a 250GB SSD and 1TB HDD from WD. They're really solid and I'm a huge fan of them. Would recommend over Seagate. I'm in the market for a 4TB when the time and price is right!

Oh wow, that's bad. Makes me glad I went for Steelseries instead, the one time I had a minor problem they were like "Yeah, we know, our bad, we'll have a fix out by tomorrow".

Razer Nostromo 

 

Horrible build quality. Flimsy and way, way too small for my hands.

I will never buy an Alcatel phone ever again in my life, worst smart phone I've ever owned. To be fair though I think they're dead and gone already anyway.

When you have less storage than RAM, you know your company's phones are terrible lol

[minervx]

My regrets:

• Chromebook
• Kindle Fire
• NVidia Shield K1
• A 17" Dell craptop
• More than 1 console per generation
• $60 games I never played
• A large pile of <$10 Junk just because it was "cheap" and "on sale"
• An external hard drive that I spent $100 on and it died anyway

It's a good entry-level gaming machine but not a great tablet:

• Poor battery life
• Thick, bulky, uncomfortable to hold
• Inferior colors and brightness
• Cheap chassis
• Using a controller for a portable device is silly

For those who love Android gaming, it's a great buy for $200+.  Myself, I wish I got an iPad Mini 4 instead so i could have a comfortable device to watch Youtube and text on.

rip  Personally my issues were more with the fact it would drain while plugged in if you did anything too intense, unreliable wifi, and android in general, but I don't regret getting it for a second

What gear, product or service made you swear a vow to never purchase again? Try to avoid blacklisting an entire brand if you can help it, lol.

 

Due to lackluster performance and noise, my never again product, or at least one of them, CORSAIR FANS.

 

*Opening thread up to beyond computer hardware.

Any EA game. I'll never buy one at full price. I'll either wait for it to be super cheap or buy it on a site such as G2A or if I really want to play it I'll pirate (never really wanted to play an EA game)

[Chaos_Sorcerer]

Audible. Lower the goddamn price or make the app a little cleaner. Holy shit. 

[Nena Trinity]

quad-core cpus

[TheV_Machine]

Lenovo as a Brand. Their heap of Bloatware in General, Bloatware installing by bootup from BIOS(fair enough other companies did that too), shitty Laptop Performance and and for nostalcig Points i Feel to have to add the Things they dir to the classical thinkpads after "taking over" IBM in this sector

[Drak3]

On rail VR games, and third person VR games like Lucky's Tale, pyo.

[shadowbyte]

any LG product

had a terrible experience with my G3, with the wifi and bluetooth modules dying, and then the whole thing overheating and rebooting randomly

they refused an RMA

Razer headsets

Thermaltake headsets

HP entry level printers

Razer laptops

What is wrong with them? 
I genuinely want to know. I am thinking about buying one down the line, mostly because I want the aluminum body, but apples leave a sour taste in my mouth.

 

[aisle9]

Antec power supplies (boom)

Enermax/LEPA AIOs (leak in case)

Deepcool AIOs/AIO cases (leaks)

Apevia power supplies (boom)

Logisys...anything Logisys for all kinds of reasons

Gigabyte AM4 mobos

 

There's more, just not able to think of it at 1:30 AM. I'm very forgiving of component failures unless it's a repetitive thing with one brand or a component failure takes other stuff with it.

[Prox1ma]

Forgot to add - Cheap, uncertified power supplies/ups and cheap cases.

Have you ever wanted to experience the feeling of being on the tarmac at an airport whilst gaming? Have you ever wondered what lava would feel like if you touched it?

 

...enter the blade (my poor 970m model...people couldn't hear me on the mic over the jet engine fan half the time)
