    I don't have any loyalties. I'll buy the best product suited to my budget. Phones wise, my last 3 phones were Samsung/Nokia/Blackberry. Trainers, well I like Etnies, but I also like others.

    GPU/CPU - seriously? I'll buy whatever is the best bang for buck. AMD Athlon 64 was just that back in the day, then I had a x2 and now an intel quad. Gpus... haha my recent history is 6600gt, 7800gt, 7900gt, x1800xt, x1900xtx, 8800gtx. I seriously don't give a toss who makes these cards as long as I get a quality product for a good price. my next gpu will be either a 275gtx or a 5850...

    HDD - I've had everything from maxtor, seagate, wd, hitachi... Currently have hitachi and seagate, they're both great.
    Cameras - went from a minolta dynax 5 film slr to nikon d40 dslr and now have a canon 40d dslr.

    so, again, for me, there's no loyalties.

    I have no brand loyalties at all.

    Brand loyalties are pretty much idiotic, and all "fanboys" of certain brands ever end up doing is ripping themselves off, and then defending their purchase with more bull****.

    I buy whats best at the time (technology wise) and will always do that.

    guys, are you telling me that if your loyalties lie with Intel and Nvidia and then AMD and ATI become leaders again (it's happened before and it'll happen again, to be fair, ATI is on top atm) you will pay say more money just because it's a Intel product? How about P4 cpus??? Athlons were all over them, don't tell me you'd rather buy a p4!!!

    It depends on how big the difference is between the two. There's a thresh-hold that has to be crossed to get people to switch from one brand to another. I'm not going to switch brands of graphics cards over 5%.

    Audi for cars, my 1st car is audi and i plan on having more of them, im happy =)

    and amd for processors, didnt have any intel since Pentium II (again, coincidance, just 2months more and i would have had a C2D instead of a X2)


    altho i dont have any brand loyalty, just what i like the most, its just coincidance :O

    That's a positive experience with a company. That never assures quality later. Blind loyalty is fanboyism.



    Buying a company's products because they have a good track record is not fanboyism. But having brand loyalty is. It makes you a sheep. You should always check out competitors and know that the company in the lead in quality at the moment will not stay there in the future. The perfect example is American cars, or old-school Dell. Look at them now - far from the best in reliability/quality.

    absolutely not, i would buy any product from any company as long as it meets my needs despite my loyalty, eg. if i'm loyal to nvidia and ati releases a gpu that 's better, cooler and faster than nvidia, i would buy ATI without thinking twice.

    brand loyalty for me can only go so far, otherwise i'd fall into fanboyism territory which is something i really hate and quite honestly it's very stupid.
