Computing

Computing is the foundation on which the rest of technology is built, but it’s also the lens through which we see the future. That’s why we take it seriously at Digital Trends. Our approach includes coverage of the hardware and software of PCs, but also the larger ecosystem of everything that plugs into them. Windows, Macs, laptops, graphics cards, CPUs, gaming monitors, and yes — even printers. And that’s just scratching the surface.

Through covering the latest news and performing the hands-on testing ourselves, we’re able to offer the best PC buying advice you’ll find on the internet. We do our own in-depth testing on everything from the battery life of laptops to monitor image quality. We even delve into the expanding world of the PC gaming tech with ReSpec, our biweekly deep-dive column on making your PC games look and play their best.

So, whether you’re shopping for your next laptop, reading up on the latest GPU news for your next upgrade, or just trying to take a screenshot on Mac, you’ve come to the right place.
