FWIW, I got a couple of these at a very high-end conference I went to, and they were generic crap that died within 2 years. Left me with a bad taste in my mouth.....
Yes, this is an issue. Like anything else, there are different levels of quality. You used to be able to ask about "Tier 1" chips, but that classification holds less meaning since so many companies lie about what they use. If nothing else, find out about warrantees, return policies and operational guarantees before purchasing.
