How do they come up with the most confusing naming schemes on the planet? You would think that making it easy to identify which product is which would boost sales, or someone at least has the sanity to make it easy to understand.
(i.e. CPUs, laptop processors, USB standard, most smartphones, monitors, anything made by Sony that’s not a Playstation…)
exactly! Just give us numbers and words that MAKE SENSE
One reason to avoid using words is that in a global economy, they may want to sell the same product in multiple countries, so you potentially run into translation issues/costs and confusion over whether a product is the same or not between two different places. Using just letters and numbers eliminates that.
Of course, that’s all for their own convenience, not for the convenience of the end customer.
Ah right that makes sense.
Doesn’t make it any less annoying though! 😁
But it sort of makes sense. If you use english words to name a product, it would be great for english speakers but terrible for anyone else due to translation issues and such.
I do think that they should just name their products with a sensible letters and numbers that’s easier to understand. Instead, you have a race to see who has the biggest number and the most letters :(
