We all know practically everything but food is made in China. We’ve grown accustomed to the “Made in China” moniker, where only “Designed in California” can vouch for uncompromising attention to detail, longevity, quality.

But in real-life, things are radically different. I am sick and tired of having a brand-name, fully blown and EXPENSIVE hardware, with a bunch of problem, with a bunch of limitations.

To rephrase: premium buck must bring premium experience.

At least in the world of technology, this no longer holds. We now know, that premium buck, usually brings premium experience. If you are lucky. This brings me to my premise:

Buy Chinese. No brands. No warranty. On the cheap.

Why? You will have problems. Limitations. Lower build quality. But – you will have a system, that usually works. If it doesn’t, format it, throw it against the nearest wall.

To be fair, I am aware this is wrong – we should thing long-term, think about our impact on the environment, etc. But to be honest, big brands do the same. The only thing they do differently is they charge you more, they offer you some warranty and you usually end things a bit pissed off.

So, buy Chinese. They are the heart of world’s production, they know what they are doing (most of the time) and it is usually cheap.
