MyBroadband recently conducted its latest Technology Survey, which established the favourite computer brands of South African IT professionals and techies.<\/p>\n
The survey was completed by 2,610 people, of which the majority\u00a0were IT professionals and general techies.<\/p>\n
For this article, only the answers\u00a0from the IT professionals and techies were used\u00a0– which included\u00a0their favourite computer, monitor, CPU, printer, and hard drive brands.<\/p>\n
This influential group is behind many of the computing\u00a0purchasing decisions of their companies, family members, and friends.<\/p>\n
It is therefore not surprising that computing\u00a0companies closely\u00a0follow this group, and try to win their favour.<\/p>\n
The survey results show that Dell is the favourite computer brand among techies, followed closely by Apple and Asus.<\/p>\n
When it came to monitors, Samsung was a clear winner, followed by LG in second place and Dell in third place.<\/p>\n
There was nearly no competition in the CPU market, where Intel was the preferred brand of nearly 90% of techies.<\/p>\n
The favourite hard drive brand was Seagate, edging out WD, Samsung, and Toshiba.<\/p>\n
HP was the favourite printer brand, with Canon in second place, Samsung third, and Brother fourth.<\/p>\n
