At Channel Dynamix, beyond keeping systems happily humming along, enforcing policies, and rescuing our customers from IT disasters, the Clark Kent sides of us are quite the geeky bunch. So, from time to time we informally survey our IT staff to see what kind of tech toys they’re in to and share it with you guys.
What mobile phone do you prefer?
With a resounding majority, the Apple iPhone.
What tablet device do you prefer?
Again, Apple wins with the iPad.
What wireless router do you recommend for business or home?
Cisco/Linksys came out on top with Netgear and the Airport Extreme + Time Capsule tying for second.
What portable hard drive brand do you prefer?
Western Digital, with Seagate in a very close second.
What do you recommend for personal backup?
Rackspace’s Jungle Disk and Time Machine for the Apple folks.
What is your favorite gaming device or console?
Surprisingly, the Wii won out with the Xbox and PS3 tied for second. The Wii does tend to be more popular among staff with families.
What is your preferred web browser?
Resoundingly, Google Chrome.
What do you recommend for personal anti-virus or anti-malware protection?
Symantec Norton came out on top. Microsoft Security Essentials and AVG tied for second. Honestly, anything is better than nothing. Mac folks ran Norton on their Windows VMs.
What is your preferred personal email service?
Apparently, the folks that use Chrome prefer Gmail, go figure.
What tech blog or information site do you visit most often?
No clear winner here. Mixed bag among Techcrunch, Tom’s Hardware, Arstechnica and Engadget
Bonus Question: What tech buying or bargain site do you recommend?
Amazon.com had the strongest showing with NewEgg.com as the runner-up.
Take the survey yourself and let us what you’re in to and whether you agree with the results! Of course these are the personal opinions of our staff and in no way represent an official recommendation from Channel Dynamix or its affiliates.
