All my Sony TVs are still working for almost 20 years. Perhaps good quality is the reason old customer does not visit back.
My Laptop Sony was bad decision. It heats to fast and even leak small electric current on my palm sometime. Toshiba Laptop was too expensive.
For computer parts, it seems that Taiwan brand is a normal brand. Actually these Taiwanese brands are American inside. Intel CPU, chipsets, etc. What Taiwan do was just assembly.
Well, except MidiaTek. This company is actually an innovative company.
It seems that Japan cannot fight on semiconductor level business. Hardly heard about Japanese ASIC or shipsets. (Correct me if Im wrong). Taiwan has foundary while US goes fabless. The last news I heard from Japan was Japanese Super Computer that use Japan's indiginous CPU. It was 10 years already.
It seems that after year 2000, japan simply stop innovate on electronic/electric industry. In my telecom equipment industry, China Huawei v.s. Ericsson are no.1,2.
