Usual Brand With High Spesification.. But, i think.. Great Brand was using GREAT Spesification.. If The Spesification are bad, that brand cant be popular.. Isnt It? :)

for example if we have $700 and we bought laptop with HP brand,we will get low spesification.comparing with acer, axio or anote.with just $700 we will get high specification

For me a good brand with a good configuration with a decent price, is what i look for. Even if a brand is offering the desired configuration for a slightly higher price, i do not mind it so much.

He dear friend! As I'm very choosy, I give importance to both brand and specification. Because I love to get my things according to my taste and requirement. And I'm ready spend enough money for this purpose. The quality products always render better services than the inferior ones. Happy computing!

I choose specification. I just need to know what kind of chip the device is using then brand is not a matter.

brands stand on track records or certified performance and testimonials. and brands also carry specifications that is not only claimed. other products, especially new ones, stand on specification, particular those that show it is different from or has certain advantaged over other products belonging to the same line. in these age, however, the key to buying certain products hinge on specifications. this is very true in groceries, where concerns about sugar, salt, saturated fat contents are always a primary consideration among health-conscious buyers... in others, like toothpaste and soap, sometimes brands rule...

I think the brand is more important to me for now. I'm not really too sure what are the good specifications for a computer so I can't really like assemble a computer with high specifications or look out for those features. One good thing about a good brand computer is that it's reliable and you can always get good customer service if your computer is damaged in any way.

The brand is more important as the longer it has been in the market the more it could be trusted. many models comes in a generic casing even the internal parts and some are fake or just manually assembled even it is cheaper they could not still trusted they easily break or heat or short circuit happen most of the time by just going to the repair shop if you going to estimate your expenses it is like you already buy a branded item with the wrong choice it often fail with the expectation.

No offense to anyone with a Dell.... I have an e-machine and I took my computer over to my computer man to get some programs put on it and he had all these Dells over there..... I said "Well you got alot of Dells for sale" Thinking I would get me one because my husband needed new one..... He said them were the ones broke and had glitches..... So it is always not the name I think you should get the computer you want..... Sometimes we pay alot for brand and the quality is just as good as others.

I consider the brand and if the price is reasonable but more so I look at the specifications whether it suits my needs and if my I can afford it.

Hi, I prefer to consider the specification firstly. It is more important for me. Brand is the second consideration, which I must adjust with my money. Anyway, have a good day. Cheers,

For me, specifications and brand are both important, but specifications will be on a higher priority. For example, let's compare a Sony and HP laptop. Both could have almost identical specifications, but Sony may come with a higher price tag, because Sony is known for its quality products. Under this circumstances, I may pick HP instead, depending on the difference in both prices. One more thing which I take into consideration too, is the availability of service centers in my country. If a supplier does not have service centers in my country, I will not purchase its products even if it's branded or have the best specifications.

Well when you buy laptops or electronics devices the brand is very important and not only the brand also the services they offer, in terms of warranty, as engineer I have work in companies like the ones you mention and I have seen a lot of differences in design and manufacture that can translate into a better or worse computer. You also want to care about specifications but lately all the computer brands produce the same type of computers, they offer mostly the same, but what you pay for is for the prestige of the company.

specification, quality..it needs to meet my needs. Of course, being short of money all the time, important=cheaper!! lol. But I try to get: cheap/specification :)

Personally, I think it's better to trust a known brand because specifications usually follow. A brand does not really get to be known unless it has something to 'talk about'. So, a great brand usually equals to great specs. In addition, it is more advisable to trust known brands because they're reliable and tested.

Eventually i look for the brand..First of all , computer is not a small thing, i can afford more to get my branded PC. Because when u buy an apple computer, u are not paying only for the computer, u are also paying for the brand, the brand which gives u an identity that u are an user of apple . When i'm buying a jean, that is almost i will wear it for 1 year, i will buy a branded jean. We are looking brand for a dress, computer is a big thing, branded company offers u on spot warranty and they serve u very well, replacements, warranty and the ease of use..

well..i look at both specification and the brand. the brands have built their reputation because they have been able to maintain the quality and performance for such a long time. so, brand is important too. and, yes the specification also needs to be good enough for good performance.

I look at both - but I think it is more of specifications- of course Brand is also important in the sense that it should be a known and tested one, which has reliability and easy to access in case of trouble shooting problems. Sometimes you get smaller brands with great specifications and very High Value for Money

for me, the specifications of the computer is more important than the brand. i am not very particular with the brand. as long as the computer's specifications is okay with me, then I'll buy it. i don't care about the brand, specs is still the most vital factor to consider when buying a pc.

I like the specifications more rather than the brand. I'm more into long lasting quality and being practical about how much budget would it costs me to buy this parts. But the brand also plays along as I sought out reviews in the net. If I see a particular slight change in price I usually take the leading price but within the budget. Not all brands are long lasting even MSI, GIGABYTE, and ASUS gets busted 6 months in use. The warranty is my first priority if I'm dealing with such high standard brands. Quality of Quantity is what I say when it comes to computers. ^^

Personally, I like to have both....My laptop is HP/Compaq with alright specifications, but sometimes works better than my friend's, who has a different brand but better specifications. I guess it depends how lucky you are...But the only time I go shopping for computers is when there's some sort of sale. That way, you might be able to find a brand name computer with great specifications at a discount price :)
