Ahh...maybe it's time for us to put aside the quality and buy it solely because of the RENOWNED brand. I start to notice many products out there which are used to be renowned for their impeccable quality have started to lose the quality since the millenium era. For example, Mercedes had a lot of complaints and criticisms with the last S, E, and C class because they cut the cost of production and opted for cheaper materials for the parts. Nokia starts to produce crap products now. IBM Thinkpad and Thinkcentre are made by Lenovo (China) now and they might not be as good as before. And so on and so on....
Sometimes it crosses on my mind that perhaps it was meant to be like that intentionally so that the useful life of a certain product can be shorter, hence the turnover of the product itself could be higher which means higher profits for the manufacturer to keep survive in this more competitive era. Just a thought...
Perhaps this is the time that we no longer can have a product that lasts a lifetime anymore.
