Question

matching hardware

Apr 14, 2020 7:09AM PDT

I am looking at replacing my PC with a laptop and possibly two tablets as well. Do brands work better together, or is it ok to have a Acer laptop, a Dell tablet, and an HP tablet.

there is absolutely no reason to get all the same brand unless there is some sort of discount. get what you need at the price you want no matter the brand. It will not affect the performance.
