Fanboys/Fangirls?

What brands do you guys fanboy over? For me, it's Google. I'm a huge fan, Chromecast TV, Chromecast Audio, Google Home, Google Pixel, Moto 360 2(Motorola is owned by Google :-P). One day I'll top off the collection with a google glass but as long as they hang around at 1k+ I'm unsure of when that day will come LOL

LG's really not that bad! I'm not a fan of their phones or ovens...but their TV's, monitors etc. are lovely.

Oh yeah. I'm using a 42 inch 1080P TV from them, and I will say, it is superb. We also own a Microwave and DVD player from them. We wanted a LG washing machine again, but the place we went to, it wasn't on special, but it was the next week...

I am not a fanboy of anything. Ok i kinder like intel over AMD but if they i will switch if they suddenly have weaker cores than AMD.

 

I only buy stuff when I need to. I mostly rely on reviews, but I of course make irrational buying decision in favor of big brands, just like everyone else.

Well, after the LG G4, V10, Nexus 5X, G5, and V20 all having issues regarding bootlooping and permanent freezing... I avoid LG phones like the damned plague.

 

A lot of products I actually consider the competition to, I don't have a whole lot of loyalty unless the company treated me exceptionally well in warranty support. I believe NVIDIA is the only company I fanboy, and even then, I wouldn't say I do that too well. My personal preference has been NVIDIA for awhile due to NVIDIA basically owning the high end market, however I would never recommend their GTX 1050 through 1060 range of cards unless you're looking at a laptop. Hard to say on that one.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

I actually cant think of a brand that I really like that I fanboy over. I moreso am a fan of the individual products and dont do the whole brand loyalty thing. That being said I guess I have a bunch of Razer and Apple stuff so I guess that counts!

I wouldn't even go for a 1050 on a laptop, on avg. the 1060 is a 50-100$ premium.

I'm the proud owner of the nexus 5X and I've not experienced any bootloop issues yet, 4 months with the phone. I've android 7. I dropped it sometimes and the sound stopped working unfortunantly (from time to time like 3 seconds not working but whatevz. I don't use the speaker to listen to music) . Gotta buy a case xD.

The cheapest 1060 3GB laptops usually float around the $900 mark, I watch deals all the time lol. 1060 6GB is about a $100 extra, but usually you're also getting an improved display and overall better laptop with it.

 

That's without saying, I've seen 1050 Ti laptops for as low as $700, although those deals are a lot less frequent.
