Former senior editor of The Cheat Sheet's Technology and Entertainment sections.Frequent contributor to TechRadar. Technology feature writer since 2012. Experience
Mark has been in tech journalism since 2012, carving out an early niche for himself working an Apple beat at The Wall St Cheat Sheet. He eventually became the senior editor in charge of The Cheat Sheet's Entertainment and Technology channels, leading coverage of all the latest in film, TV, streaming content, smartphones, tablets, computers, video games, and more. Following the close of The Cheat Sheet's dedicated Technology section, Mark became a regular contributor for TechRadar. There, he frequently applies his inner-geek, leaving no stones left unturned when it comes to exploring a tech subject. My Gear I've got a OnePlus 5 as my trusty standby going on its third year of dependability, but regularly have an extra review phone floating around in one of my pockets. My gaming rig hangs around at home for me to test out the best mice, keyboards, headsets, and more. But, I go thin-and-light when I'm working outside of the house with a HP Envy and the occasional Surface Pro 4 as an external, wireless monitor. A part of me wishes those were the only devices I had, but there are too many extra to count. But, who am I kidding? They all have their purpose. Education
