Sticking With One Brand
from the marketing-hype dept
It seems that with the increased need to make different computer and consumer electronics products work together, many consumers assume that things work better together if they're all the same brand. While most companies use standard technologies, making this untrue, the companies themselves are doing little to disabuse customers of this notion. Customers seem to be especially fooled when the device makers color all their products with the same color scheme...

Sticking with one brand . . .
has some merit - one stop bitching. How any time have you called (pick one; Dell, Gateway, HP etc.) and been told "The problems with the other hardware you installed - which we don't support" only to be told by the hardware vendor that the problem is with the PC.
By no means is this a guarantee of successfully getting a box back on the road - it does help eliminate one potential headache.

And don't overlook things all being the same color! Aesthetics are important, especially when you consider the number of computer, stereo, TiVo etc boxes that can accumulate in the house.
