Least Favorite Tech Brand?

[DarkBlade2117]

Gotta disagree there. Corsair pretty much started off as a memory company. All their cases, PSUs, etc came later. I don't see anything wrong with their new AIOs. They have by far the best tubing I've seen on an AIO. There are other nice coolers, but Corsair's are really up there in terms of quality.

Corsair has lost their touch. I truly only like their graphite series cases but 90% of their PSUs are pretty bad some are good like AXi. Their memory is just overpriced and like I said the ones that aren't are ugly. You can get the same DDR3 ram from g.skill or Kingston cheaper. As for AIOs they aren't bad but you can still get something better for your money.

In my opinion they should stick to peripheals. I'm getting a M45 mouse from them.

Can a tech company count? And no its not Apple. Comcast. I hate Comcast with undying passion. They treat there customers poorly. They've tried so many times to not get net neturality past. Tech support for them is a game of how long before you wanna punch the nearest living thing to you.

Novell -> They ruined SUSE.

 

Razer-> RGB Everywhere. (In not a good way)

 

Gigabyte -> Ugh. Their boards are SO sensitive. 

 

Crucial -> 4 Bad sticks of RAM.. (In 3 different kits)

 

Lenovo -> My love-hate relationship with the company that hurt the ThinkPad Line.

 

Qualcomm -> Mobile Monopoly

 

nVidia -> We want to rub our success in everyones faces.

 

Oracle -> YOU F*CKING RUINED SUN MICRO.

 

Google -> NSA Wannabe.

 

Apple-Foxconn -> "As you can see, we only had four-hundred-and-sixty suicides in the last quarter.", said the Apple-Foxconn Rep.

90% of their power supplies are bad? You're forgetting AX/AXi/RMi/HX/HXi/TX/TXi and probably some more. True, those are manufactured by SeaSonic but they are superb power supplies and Corsair makes good money off them.

Compare those to a EVGA G2 or GS series. They are all very costly for what you get. You shouldn't cheap out on a PSU but you also shouldn't spend a fortune on them.

[TwilightAngel95]

Have to say MSI, not their motherboards, just their laptops, too flashy and bulky for my taste.

[Shaade]

Between Apple and Sony. Don't have much love for Microsoft either, to be honest.

 

Though I do have to say, there are several game publishers/developers I would rank above these - if they count.  (Ubisoft, Bungie, EA, Activision, to name a few)

 

Oh, and how did I forget Beats? Though I suppose you could throw them in with Apple now anyway.

[Aniallation]

Corsair. Overrated and overpriced.

[Aniallation]

Plus they're not the worst for value when you consider they are the PC equivalent of buying a Mercedes over a Ford.

That's not really universal for everyone though. I actually was presented with the choice of buying an 05 Benz CLK320, but for the same price I bought a Ford Escape Hybrid instead.

How was the headcount report that quarter?

 

(yes i nabbed the joke from dilbert...)

seriously though there some things we dont know about that i would like regarding context.

[ANewFace]

Dell

[Avericious]

Mad Catz. Their items are angular, LED-ridden and full of features that look impressive on paper but in reality, serve no useful purpose.

[Guest Johnny5g]

I have a list but apple and razer are not on it.

[armycombatvet7]

AMD lol......

AMD lol......

 

 

 

 

 

why?

[TheCookieGuru]

So much apple hate lol. I am not an apple "fan", but come on guys. Their build quality is second to none. That all costs money. The money into R&D and all the engineering that goes into their stuff... no, it doesn't equate to the high price they charge, but it does make up a lot of it. The rest of that price differential is basically there to make you feel special, at least in their laptops. Its a monetary barrier to entry, which you can agree with or disagree with, I will not argue that point....

 

But their phones.... come on. nothing, and I mean nothing, is as well built or as well engineered as an iphone. That costs money... So give them a little slack. And their phones perform plenty fast, hell, they are faster feeling than an android of the same era. Better OS + full hardware control = winning

They underpay their workers

I'm of the same opinion as about 99% of the PC enthusiast community: 

Fuck you, Apple.

This happens about once a  month.

This really doesn't have the correct count

Razer, beats, alienware, and pretty much any "gamer" series product.

Agreed, but Razer does build quality stuff.

[AFrenchWallaby]

The ones that make cheaply made products and sell them for an absurd amout

So, Apple? 

[Gale]

Mad Catz. D:

Oh god comcast is just...they're just so bad 

[alphaproject]

Beats. Nuff said.

 

AMD for underperforming. Don't hate them though like Beats garbage.

 

Bose. For being utter bullshit.

 

There are so many companies that exist that shouldn't though.

 

Infinity speakers went straight down the tubes for whatever reason when in the 90's they had uber high end stuff.

 

Have not heard much from Bostin Acoustics either much after the late 1990's.

 

I can't hate on Apple THAT much just because they have overpriced items because they for the most part deliver.

 

I think the Ipad and various versions are pretty much the benchmark for tablets. They do upgrade too much to get money though.

 

I would say that with the start of the Ipad 3 they started getting really good. The Air is better but NOT absolutely huge and I can't say the Air 2 is a worthy upgrade from the Air.

 

I like upgrades but not tiny ones just to cash in on the Joneses.

[iShad]

Agreed, but Razer does build quality stuff.

Like what? Their headsets are a joke, and their overall build quality doesn't matched the asking price.

[TheRisingMyth]

I can't think of any at the moment, but if i had to choose... it would be certainly Brother and their completely rubbish software. Their multifunction printers are AWESOME but god damn ! The software is made of absolute crap.... i'd rather scan documents and go through the reasonably well-crafted Windows interface than their custom bullshit.

 

I learned my lesson and i'll buy an EPSON the next time.
