AMD vs Nvidia vs Intel vs Samsung vs Apple

Which brands for which components are the best in your opinion?

Graphics cards: AMD or Nvidia? Smartphones: Apple, Samsung, or Huawei?

CPUs, keyboards, mice, screens - which piece of tech (and its brand) would you strongly recommend?

Edit - "AMD vs Nvidia vs Intel vs Samsung vs Apple" are not the only brands you can list. This is just an example. Please list any brands you like.

Kevin - did someone dare you to make up a topic in 2 seconds? Samsung are the only one of those companies that make screens, none of them make keyboards and mice discreetly? wtf is going on here? Is it crazy pill day? I didn't get mine.

Apologies - the post has been updated to make it more clear.
 
Graphics cards: AMD
Smartphones: LG
CPU: Intel (Might change with Ryzen)
Keyboard: Dell
Mice: Gigabyte/Logitech
Screen: Samsung
 
Support AMD for two reasons. Don't like Intel's business practices, and it never makes to support the biggest player in an industry. You're just asking for lower competition and high prices.
 
Graphics cards: varies (AMD 5850, Nvidia GTX960, AMD RX480 the last 3 I owned)
Smartphones: varies but Android nowadays with no intention to switch back to Apple (Iphone 4, Huawei, Meizu last 3, Xiaomi probably next time)
CPU: varies (currently employ both Intel and AMD depending on usage)
Keyboard: Microsoft Ergonomic (work), Corsair (gaming \ home)
Mice: Logitech
Screen: Dell (work), Acer (gaming)
 
Graphics cards - Nvidia
Smartphones: Samsung
CPU: Intel
Keyboard: Microsoft
Mice: Microsoft
Screen: Samsung
 
Graphics cards: Nvidia (AMD has great midrange but nothing to compete in the high end so I'll give it to the green team - for now).
Smart phones: Samsung, Google
CPU: Intel (until Ryzen benchmarks)
Keyboard: My Coolermaster cherry MX red (not much I can compare to)
Mice: Logitech
Screen: Dell, Asus and Acer

In the first place, Apple is heavily over rated in my opinion. It is more of a status symbol for those seeking acceptance as a "tech savvy" member of society but they are in truth very limited in their usability if you like trying new apps and utilities, the options in the store are very limited and Apple themselves mostly decide about what is available and you have to pay them for that where as android is open source which means its free for all and we can decide where the trends go and the only limits there are our imagination. I like that.
As for devices its definitely Huawei that's been taking the reins lately with new technologies and pushing the development of advancement in that area. Samsung made a name for themselves with a couple of good phones quite a couple of years ago and are now just riding the bandwagon on the ignorance of cellphone users that dont have the interest of going out looking for whats new in the world and where we are going with regards to advancement in communication electronics and technologies and so on. But anyway thats my 2 cents about that.
My Huawei Mate 8 impressed me in every way, performance and design and so did my previous Mate S and that to me says alot about the quality and strenth of the company itself so il support them till the next hungrier monkeys come along.

There is definitely a set of brands for these things that I would be reluctant to stray from.

Graphics cards: Nvidia, might change once AMD Vega is unveiled
CPUs: AMD all of a sudden!
Smartphones: Anything but Apple
Keyboards: Corsair
Mice: Logitech
Displays: Samsung & Asus
Power supplies: Corsair
RAM: Corsair
Cases: Corsair
Hard drives: Seagate
SSDs: Samsung
TVs: Samsung
Home consoles: Playstation
 
I am not clued up on graphics cards, but in the space of smartphone chips Apple's A-series outperforms the competition by far, al whilst being frugal on battery life and RAM. The problem is that they're not hitting the right notes with iOS anymore.
 
Graphics: Nvidia (but I'd prefer AMD to catch up)
CPU: Intel (but I'd prefer AMD to catch up, and seems they're finally ryzen to the challenge :o)
Smartphone: Samsung or Google
Input devices: Logitech
Screen: Samsung
