I dont "just buy" any brand. the price/value has to be right.

for example I wont buy AMD cpu unless it was a great value 😛

brands that I like;

AMD
Kennth Cole
Samsung
Calvin Klein
 
IBM 🙂 🙁

🙁 Because it burns a HUGE hole in my pocket compared to the competetion.
🙂 Because IBM in terms of innovation, design,customer service,technical support, quality and sexiness there is no real competetion , IBM KICKS ASS!!

Oh and did I mention that no company out there supports / contributes to open source more than IBM 😀

IBM FTW!!
 
only thing i can think of that i have brand loyalty for are guitar strings. elixir nanoweb for acoustic, d'addario xl's for electric
 
Banana Republic
Gap
Levis
Doc Marten

That's pretty much my entire wardrobe.
Everything else (car, software, hardware, food) depends on price-to-value.
 
Lot's of brands but I am always willing to try new stuff.

Coors, Nike, Champion, and Polo are brands that jump to mind. 😛
 
Tide detergent
Kraft shreaded cheese
Colgate tooth paste
Cookie's salsa
Healthy choice bread

Those are the main things that I'll go out of my way to buy a specific brand of and won't get generic/off label.
 
Of course I don't buy these exclusively, but when I see them I tend to think quality.

Logitech
Canon
Neutrogena
Staedler
Nike
Rossignol
Ikea
Fujifilm
Linksys
Nintendo
Dong-A (pens)

And lots of others.
 
Wrangler (Jeans)
Asolo (Boots)
Monotrail (Shoes)
Pentel (Pencil/Lead)
WileyX (Sun Glasses)
Ernie Ball (Guitar Strings)
Gilette
Logitech
 
hmmm let me see
cars...always ford...I tried one GMH car, but somebody wanted it more than me so i never saw it in one piece again
computer hardware...Gigabyte, Antec, Logitec, Western digital.
anything else..I don't give a rats ass, as long as it works
 
Nothing. I generally buy stuff based on specs / value, and lots of research & user opinions. Sundries / everyday items I'll just buy what jumps out at me at the store as I need it. I never shop by brand.
