Which Tech brands do you trust most?

None to be quite honest. I've seen things fail from all brands. I prefer using a pool system for brands. I kinda quit doing that brand loyality thing way back in the day. Using the rating systems of various sites like ncix,newegg,amazon and other places. Never assume just because its a good brand they arent capable of producing crap.

Pants were invented by sailors in the sixteenth century to avoid Poseidon's wrath. It was believed that the sight of naked sailors angered the sea god.

Asus, MSI, EVGA, Corsair and Kingston have been my go to brands.

 

I've opened my mind about other brands, but sometimes i don't mind paying a little more for a quality product.

 

 

 

believe it or not.. i've always been a fan of Apple; not them as a company, but their products. I've always bought my Macbook's "used" and always tinkered and upgraded them myself. They are a perfect laptop for travel and school

Honda.... oh wait, computers.

 

It depends on what we are talking about. I generally don't have a blanket brand loyalty but rather I have preferences on the individual components sometimes.

 

EVGA for video cards for sure. I've bought nine video cards since I've started building, all EVGA.

I guess ASUS for motherboards since I'm now on my third one after flirting briefly with an MSI that fried itself in an hour.

Both Corsair and G.Skill for RAM

If I have to buy an internal hard drive, Western Digital

External hard drives, well, I like to buy WD Internal drives and throw them in Vantec enclosures but I've had all kinds really.

So far Acer for monitors though I've only ever actually bought two brand new monitors in my life, both Acers.

 

And I guess what ultimately would be the answer, Logitech for peripherals. I've bought nothing but Logitech mice and keyboards and all computer speakers I've actually used for my main computers have also been Logitech. I've had 11 or 12 Logitech mice, 7 or 8 Logitech keyboards, and 4 sets of Logitech speakers. Funnily enough though, my mouse pad is a Corsair.

 

Other stuff, I've changed brands several times. It's all a matter of checking reviews and prices.

I have several depending on what the tech is;

 

PC Components: Asus and Corsair - never had a problem.

Peripherals: Logitech have never let me down here, still using the same set of 5.1 speakers I bought in 2008 - and the G502 is the best mouse i've ever owned, despite also being the ugliest  :wub:

TVs, DVD/Blu-ray and other tech like that: LG - Quality and reliability, often at lower prices than competitors too.

Non-PC gaming: Nintendo, easily. All of my Nintendo consoles/handhelds still work - all the way back from Wii/3DS to the N64 which was my first (it's not far off 20 years old now). Compared to the 4 xbox 360s I went through in the space of 3 or 4 years, for example.

Trojan. Pretty ironic, I know. JK.

Probably Intel and Samsung, Asus and Antec. Now I don't know what components they have on their products but they seem to hold and perform good on top of warranty.

ROG X570-F Strix | AMD R9 5900X | EK Elite 360 | EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra | G.Skill Trident Z Neo 64gb | Samsung 980 PRO

Logitech G810 Orion | Sennheiser HD 518 |  Logitech 502 Hero

I don't have any real preference, everybody has it's gems which are incredible but also their weak spots

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

I love how you say "god forbid jk" next to Apple when the same list includes HP and Dell? Like Apple is much better than either of those.

 

Nvidia, Intel and others don't even make and sell PCs. What are you actually asking?

GPU- Sapphire/EVGA/Gigabyte, HD7xxx series AMD. Nvidia, only had 210 and 640 gddr5

CPU- Both, no problems, except a dead G530, but that may have been due to the packaging.

Laptop- Toshiba/Lenovo. 8 year Toshiba A50-106 still working, booting faster than my gaming PC. ThinkPad Edge 15 working, not well but it could have been worse.

Corsair has gone down a peg today with my M65 breaking after 2weeks of buying it. Like Quality control gone right out the window but then the retailer acting like its some huge inconvenience to get a replacement like trying to get blood out of a stone. Anyway i voted for Oppo Digital UK as they're bluray players are top notch and they're customer service is the best ive ever seen. If you got a tech question you can speak to the guys that made the firmware for it. They even sent out a replacement HDMI cable that is a amazing quality cable. That if you're talking just tech. If you are talking PC then Gigabyte have always been good to me with free stuff and their 970 G1's work great.

CPU: Intel i7 4930k 5Ghz - RAM: GSkill Trident X 2400Mhz - MOBO: Asus Rampage IV Extreme Black Edition  - GPU: Asus Strix 1080ti OC 2067Mhz - PSU: Corsair AX1200i - Case: Coolermaster C700P - 

Cooling: Corsair H100i with 2 ML120s & 4 HD140s

 

 SSDs: 1.75TB Samsung SSD's + 10TB HDD's - OS: Windows 10 Insiders Build Fast Ring - Monitors: Asus PB287Q 4K  -  Mouse: Corsair Glaive RGB - Keyboard: Corsair K95 Platinum MX Brown -

There are not really brands I love or hate, I look at the specific product.

But I guess I chose my favorite/one I would prefer if the specs and reviews are equal on the products
