The Tech Report

WELCOME TO THE TECH REPORT. As you can probably tell by looking around, we are an online publication dedicated to PC hardware, gaming, and personal computing in all its forms. We aim to set ourselves apart from the crowd with clear, concise explanations of deep technical concepts—and with extensive empirical testing to help inform our opinions. We're also a creation of the Internet age: a grass-roots website dedicated to our favorite hobby. Since our founding back in 1999, we've grown rapidly from a part-time obsession into a full-time vocation and then a thriving small business. Along the way, we've collected a vibrant and vocal community of readers. Their support and instant, intelligent feedback has helped us establish a reputation as a trustworthy and responsible resource. We are independently owned and have taken no funding from outside sources. Our revenue comes from advertising and, increasingly, through direct support from our readership. Our content is free and open for anyone to access.
