O.o  That has like been out for 3 years, And I seem to find that on Russian sites...

 

The 2012 models were Sony's best. 

The S series was really good.

And the Z series still holds up with our modern ultra portables.

Loyalty...lets see...

 

 

Sony for consoles

Apple for laptops and phones (so long as the alternative flagship phones are massive)

Steam for games since Origin is blegh and uPlay is absolute garbage. 

Intel, but thats more because they are often better than their AMD alternatives (ignoring costs)

Nikon for my DSLR

I mean, their ROG boards aren't bad for overclocking. Would rather a sabertooth, but still.

nothing wrong with the over clocking but its the advertising for the boards and prices. you can get all the same features for half the price with something like a msi gaming or mpower board

No. I heard the conference is the 9th, and the phone comes out the 13.

Meh kind of wish I wasn't so lazy when I bought my computer to look for something from like Sony or Asus in the same price range that my NP365E5C-S02UB fell in.

I just went to Best Buy saw a computer than seemed okay. Realized it's a bad idea to go with a computer with a low clock speed...

but CaseLabs makes better cases.

They do but they are so expensive :( I would love a caselabs case but alas my budget isn't large enough for that.

Well, it's a rumor. Hopefully!

 

Typically though, it comes out weeks later, and then an additional few weeks later to non-major countries.

Maybe. Or if they release two models, maybe the 6 and the Pro?

Not at all. Why should I be, they all want to take my money in the end.

The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

Not sure if this is limited to tech, but I exclusively use Rawlings baseball equipment.

 

Tech-wise, I'll throw money at Corsair all day long. 

I'm that guy with the GPD Win.

no one really, i look for what fits my needs within my budget,i stay mostly with companies that have a good reputation behind them on the hardware side mostly, though if i had the money i would buy the new moto x or g in a heartbeat without thinking it twice, really loving what motorola is doing ATM

this is one of the greatest thing that has happened to me recently, and it happened on this forum, those involved have my eternal gratitude http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/198850-update-alex-got-his-moto-g2-lets-get-a-moto-g-for-alexgoeshigh-unofficial/ :')
