I guess I'm loyal to my rolling tobbaco brand but only after trying some alternatives and only because I don't want to bother changing brands.

They make good shit.

Don't fall for the luxury meme. Mom & pop got a BMW and Acura. BMW had accelerator problems since they got it and had to do multiple software updates, luckily within warranty. Trunk is stiff as hell and you need to use full strength of one arm to close it, getting your hands dirty, whereas you can close a Toyota trunk by pinching it with two fingers and pulling it down and letting go to close with momentum. Acura trunk is this new automatic shit that first day we get it in the garage and go to get groceries, the super strong motor with shit for sensors hits the garage door and keeps going, getting jammed into handle, can't close and can't open. It's just all clusterfuck shit now for even the most basic of functions.

My mom regrets selling me the Camry now and actually traded me her BMW to get it back. Going to try and get a good price for this in warranty and get another Camry probably.

Even though it's not technically a brand in the usual sense, I like Nexus phones, because the hardware isn't locked down like other brands. Once the Ubuntu phone has the features I need (CDMA and full-disk encryption), all bets are off. If it doesn't run on Nexus hardware, then I'll buy a phone that does support it.

Kingston for the ram, it just works. Still got some sticks from 2005ish still going strong. Logitech for the keyboard and mouse cause they both durable. Altec Lansing speakers. Everything else is based on price and how well it does in reviews

My Latitude came with a defective LCD. I put in a warranty claim, they had it fixed and returned to me in 48 hours, no questions asked. On their website, using the service tag associated with my laptop I can find plenty of information as well as all the relevant drivers. No issues whatsoever with documentation, the only issue I ever had with drivers was with the wireless adapter, which I replaced for $15.

PEBKAC, faggot.

It wasn't for a business, so I wouldn't expect on-site support. It was a personal laptop and it was around 30 hours from the time I dropped it off at UPS to the time it arrived on my doorstep.

>>55100525
Find me a service guide. A maintenance manual. Something that tells me how to replace a CPU in that laptop.

They really always have, but it wasn't so apparent until the vehicles got more power, more weight, etc. The axles under every solid axle Jeep are garbage, the control arms for those axles are garbage, the tie rods are weak garbage, the engines tend to be weak garbage. Off road capability is very laughable, too. Few Jeeps ever came with locking differentials, meaningful bash plates, or the ability to fit anything more than 29" tires from the factory.

I've found that the issue with the wireless adapter was Broadcom, not Dell. I got drivers straight from Broadcom's site for my chipset, they didn't work. I just replaced it with an Atheros adapter, works fine now.

If you want it from the factory get a Rubicon.

Rubicons have electric locking differentials. The axles really aren't much improved, either. Still D44s and the front isn't even a real D44, it's a D30 with a D44 center section. 40k is still going to be a barren vehicle missing a lot of amenities standard on other vehicles. 4Runner Trail is what I'd buy new for 40k, today.

HP always have the drivers I've needed. The revision history is amazing to see fixes for each driver update. I have come across at least one where the driver was just plain wrong\didn't work and spent days scouring their forums looking for alternate versions.

Generally if I have a choice in non reference coolers I opt for EVGA for Nvidia cards and Sapphire for AMD cards.

I've driven an Astra that does the same in stop&go traffic. When you come to a complete stop. Let go of the brake for a second and the car will start itself and then you can just continue like nothing happened.

>>55099009
nah, I just try to get what suits me best
however I have some brands like apple that I always check out least, dunno I just feel like their products are overpriced for what you get and lack customization so when looking for best option I never think of their products
I got myself 3k$ laptop last summer but macbook didn't even cross my mind (I needed something more powerful though because of my line of work and I wasn't sue if all the software I use ran of OSX, I guess most of it does though unlike on linux that only had Maya out of them all)

>buying something because of brand
Leave this board and consider suicide.
>>
Does brand hate count?

I refuse to buy anything Microsoft. Windows 7 almost won me back. Almost.
>>
>>55099009
I'm only "loyal" to a brand when it continues to produce products that fit my needs better than competitors at the right price. If a brand fails to do so, I've got no problem moving to another brand, but if they continue to be great, then I'll continue to purchase their stuff.

SMSL for desktop audio stuff.
IKEA for tables and other furniture.
Vizio for TVs.
Steam for digitally distributed games.
Messico for shoes.
Lucas for assorted car fluids.
Lays for chips.
Schlafly's for beer.
Steelseries for mousepads.
Amazon for online shopping (Prime account)
Google for various online services such as Drive/Gmail/Calendar.

That's all I can really think of, and it's because each brand provides products that regularly target me in their demographics and provide a good value.
>>
>>55104321
I completely forgot about guts.

I regularly go with nVidia cards because I've always appreciated their drivers and higher end card performance. I usually go with EVGA because of their quality, both in build and price.

I prefer ASUS motherboards because I've had the most success with them, and I usually like their features and aesthetics. I would not purchase an ROG board, though.

I prefer GSKILL RAM. I've had several Corsair sticks fail on me, been using GSKILL for like eight years now with no issue.

I prefer ADATA for my SSDs.

Seasonic for PSUs.
>>
>>55099009
No, I'm not mentally retarded.
>>
>>55099009
I'm not necessarily loyal to one brand, but I do my best to stay away from these.
HP: heat problems
samsung: terrible bloatware, but they're getting better
AMD: runs hot, terrible drivers
>>
>>55099009
no, corporations are not my friends and they aren't anybody's friends

I just buy stuff I need (I can't even justify buying a new pc because the old compaq with pentium 2020m I got from my sister is still repairable)

I even do stuff like ketchup and mayo myself, fuck capitalists and their proprietary recipes
>>
i'm not technically loyal to my mouse brand, logitech, they just hold the patent for the really nice low friction scroll wheel

i'm kind of happy with them though
>>
Yes and no. I mean, if a company consistently delivers products that do what they're supposed to do well, and don't break easily, that builds up a certain amount of trust. It's dependent on them continuing to deliver though.

Right now, I can't think of any major company in particular that I would say I trust enough to say that I'm a loyal customer.

>AMD: runs hot, terrible drivers

AMD's drivers have been better than Nvidia's over the past 18 months, and any decent custom AMD card runs nice and cool. Only their reference coolers are shit, but then so are Nvidia's.

Keep falling for dumb internet memes and paid shilling though, ya retard.

they still have much higher TDPs which is important in laptops and during summer (which is what I care about)
and back when I had my 7970 the drivers where terrible, and I hear about my friend complaining about the current drivers on his 390 all the time.
plus it helps that my 970 out performs and was cheaper (at the time) than the 390 in the one game I care about
>>
>>55099009
I like Steelseries mice, Das keyboards, Audio-technica headphones, Asus monitors, Samsung SSDs, G.Skill ram, and Lenovo laptops. I'm on my second Lenovo laptop now and it has treated me well (sold my first one when I upgraded).

That's about it though.
I would switch to another brand if it was better but objectively the products I have from these companies have always been good.
>>
Sony televisions (RIP in pieces Pioneer)
HGST hard disks
Ford, Toyota vehicles
Intel SSDs
AMD (they have never done shady anti-consumer behaviors)
>>
>>55104656
>in laptops
pretty sure they've stuck to APU designs in laptops to cut down on the overall TDP to pretty good success.

those high end gaming laptops are all fucked whatever you get, burn out and die way too easily.
>>
Sony and LG. I have a thing for older Apple products too.
>>
>>55101333
working in the tv repair field nipponese have the most complete repair manuals and nearly life time support for obscure parts and shit like that

That's a long list what brands do you use?
>>
>>55105472
Logitech has bad quality control, in my experience.
Toshiba is just total garbage in general.

>>55105569
No real brand loyalty, I just get whatever seems to be the best deal for my needs while (typically) avoiding those on my shitlist. I guess I like LG a little bit.
>>
>>55101057
I've had my Audio Technica ad700 since early 2006, the amount of times the cord have been pulled and the phones smashed on hard ground is easily in the 500 range, cant think of any other phones in that price bracket that would survive the level of abuse
