1)
At first, I don't know why one of my old friends and I have
never had the same taste for some of the popular brands though we
usually like the same types of gadgets. He mostly chooses acer, lenovo,
hp, htc, etc. What I've given priority includes MSI (the logo was in
capital letters at first, later changed to current small characters),
Samsung, LiteOn, NEC, etc.
Finally
we came to a conclusion that what he liked are those with small-letter
brands, and what I liked included brands in capital characters.
2)
Is
there any strong statistical significance on picking your favourites
partly based on the looks of their branding to be related to any of your
personality? I'm not sure. Maybe it has, in some aspect, I guessed.
3)
It
was my accidental encounter with SAMSUNG as my father bought an analog
satellite receiver back in the 90s; then a netbook, later an LCD
display, a phone, an external hard disk, all being that brand. I now
could even hardly forget that according to a recent study, the Korean
firm is holding 30.3 percent share of the global smartphone market in
2012!
4)
I'm sometimes doubtful if my taste for some
favourite things had its roots on childhood experience with global
brands. Some data collection might be needed to compile another story on
personalized preference on abstract articles like brands.

Bookstores had run out of his bestsellers!
