I don't like MacOS or IOS as much as the next guy, but it's not a reason to hate a company. 

OS X/macOS isn't that bad, at least when I last used (Mountain Lion/10.8) it back in like 2012-2013 but agreed

 TRIGGERED /s

Seriously though, how the fuck is Logitech spending more time pleasing the plebs? Logitech makes a whole lot of stuff that isn't just for the PC. I don't have any reason to hate Logitech. Logitech seems like a pretty decent company.

I don't hate any companies, I just dislike what these companies are doing:

Logitech

Razer

Apple

Nvidia

Asus

Acer

Intel

Gigabyte

Corsair

Creative

Massdrop

EA

Then what do you like besides Zowie and Lenovo. 
 

I don't mind Lenovo either but considering that Superfish malware stuff from a year or two ago and just recently I think the Lenovo Update Center was also found to have similar issues to the Superfish thing but I think it was a vulnerability more so.
So Lenovo is by no means any better.

But is it? $420 for the EVGA ACX 3.0 non-SC GTX 1070 when it gets in stock. I agree Nvidia is needing some competition because it already has been getting Intel treatment in the PC market.

Sure, if you can live with slightly lower performance than under DX11 and a lot less compared to GCN 1.1/1.2

Ah, yeah I must've read it wrong. So it was just you explaining your hate/dislike for Corsair and then giving better alternatives okay.

Some of their cases are nice, but others look rather childish and tacky.

really all their obsidian cases and the air 540 are the only good cases from corsair.

#4 ASUS -> for not giving a shit about quality outside of one segment

#5 AMD -> for fucking up the CPU market.

Just curious how did AMD fuck up the cpu market?

You are wrong. Currently Dell are in a similar situation to SuperFish. Also, that was 3-4 years ago and only IdeaPads were affected. ThinkPads (the good stuff) was not.

Cm storm, AKG, Argon, sennheiser, Schiit, Hifiman, JBL, BenQ, Sapphire, XFX, EVGA, sony, nokia, sanddisk, kingston, samsung (mostly because SSDs), Koss and a lot of other brands...

Dude only normal lenovo laptops( ideapads) had that, not business and that is more like 3-4 years ago and are long gone. I would also not buy a none business grade laptop.

1. Western Digital. their products are always shit, they advertise their products to be good, when they really ain't, and i bought like 5 drives to put in a RAID array, they all died within 3 weeks. such shoddy quality. from then on, i've sworn onto seagate for quality hard drives.

2. Logitech. their products as of now are crap. like the g920 and g29 absolutely sucks now, they have WAY too many buttons (though they might be useful) and they're almost impossible to mod, with the exception of the shifter (which is now being sold SEPARATELY), because of all the buttons on the wheel. i mean, with a g27 or g25, you can take the wheel off and disconnect like one connector for the buttons and have an adapter plate including replacement buttons, and you can tack on a custom full size wheel on it. now you can't. they're not making user friendly products anymore. it's so stupid. they're just making stupid flashy products. and their new logo sucks too.

3. HP. their low end laptops are absolute shit. i have one from 2012 and oh my god, the quality is terrible. cheap plastic everywhere, nonbalanced hinges, easily bendable and low quality screen, and the fan is so damn loud, like when it's even under 10 percent load ,the fan spins so loud, like 70dB loud. that's just disappointing. for 300 bucks, i don't expect top notch quality, but this is just sad.

To his defense, some of Corsair's products are absolute garbage. e.g Corsair VS PSU series

another example is their original/green labeled CX...my friend had a CX 750 with a i7 3770k and GTX770, blew up...who would have thought a 770 would be stressing it enough for it to blow up...that's what I call even more garbage than EVGA's W1 PSUs...

Huh... Well I agree with at least XFX, Sapphire, EVGA, Sony, and Samsung. 
XFX, Sapphire, EVGA... I've heard a lot of good things about them.

Sony and Samsung, well I own a PS4 and I've had two phones from Samsung (back in like 2010, I had a Samsung Reclaim when I was on Sprint and then last year I got a Galaxy S6 from Verizon)

Huh because I thought it was in 2014. Or maybe the end of 2013. 

Still.

Still I do believe that Lenovo sells more IdeaCentre and IdeaPads than they do ThinkCentres or ThinkPads. I have a Lenovo G50, which I think is probably part of the IdeaPad line.

Anyways like I said above ^ I thought it was in 2014 or the end of 2013. So at least 2 years ago but again they do have the vulnerability issue with the Lenovo Update Center.

Intel and Nvidia irritate me, sure. They have certain practices I'd rather not see, they're a bit too comfortable in their position, all that guff. That isn't the company, though, that's the system the company's in. They lack serious competition (Intel more than Nvidia), so they get comfortable.

I don't like Apple at all. Their products are overpriced, they've been getting progressively nonsensical with their "minimalism," their operating systems are like toys, they're driving the market towards stupid things about form over function, so-on... But I don't hate them.

 

The only companies I can say I truly hate are ISP's. We all know why.

It is rumored that Intel, is making/have a back door into all laptops just like the superfish thing was and the same thing as other laptop companies also had/have. So right now if that is true every single laptop has a back door, expect business grade laptops and even those might have a back door, but I know lenovo and thinkpads and they will fight with intel over it.

Corsair AIO's are decent, their cases are fantastic IMO. If you want plain, well built, not too expensive cases without ugly vents then just get a corsair obsidian series. Their keyboards are good too, since they follow the same simple minimalist aesthetics. Their logo is nice too, I'd buy a razer laptop thing if it was for that ugly logo that looks like it was designed by an 11 year old. 

If you want a furnace just buy one - No need to pay 1000$ extra for a 970M and i7

All of them because they don't give me free stuff! D:<

But I don't judge brands, only products. And Apple's products don't seem to fit me very well, so I guess that gets a mention..

I never thought I'd see the day where I say that Apple have better cooling that something but Apple are better than Razer in every respect
