computers aren't the same as clothes
and with some labels the quality truly is better than other brands honestly a pair of christian louboutin shoes are going to be better than the 5 dollar JC penny ones it does depend on the label, but with most high fashion labels you're getting what you pay for, plus a little more |

QUOTE(tcunningham @ Jul 11 2009, 02:02 AM)  With clothes, I'd say that labels are overrated. A lot of people will dress in certain clothes because that's what is popular. I've shopped at ae for years now. I wear the clothes because they are within budget, and they are comfortable. But I'd say that labels are not overrated when it comes to other things, such as computers for example. Most people say that dell and Compaq make cheap computers. And I'd agree I've had both, and the dell laptop I had, I had to replace 2 times, within bestbuy's return policy time, the first on the second day I had it, due to a hard drive malfunction, and later because the wrist rest was made of cheap malleable plastic when heated. whereas, my macbook, hasn't had a single problem since I bought it. And I'd rather spend more if I'm going to get something that's reliable. I mostly agree. But if you start looking at brands like Alienware or HardcoreComputer, you're getting cheap shit for thousands of dollars. I could build a computer for $1200 that would cost $4000 from HardcoreComputer, and I'm including the cost of their liquid submersion cooling. |

Like I said earlier. It's not that brand names are globally overrated. It's the idea that name brands are always the best choice, with regards to quality. If a pair jeans fit me the same way and has the same quality, I'm going with the off brand, period.
