What up, Verge-heads! Wait. “Vergesters?” “Verge-igans?” Nope, that ain’t it…
GREETINGS, DEAREST VERGE SUBSCRIBERS!
Antonio here. 👋🏻 I’m your friendly neighborhood laptop reviewer, and I’m hosting an exclusive subscriber “AMA” today at 11AM PT / 2PM ET. I review laptops ranging from MacBooks and Chromebooks to weird-but-awesome tablets and a $6,000 gaming laptop. So I have a fairly wide range of experience with some of the best computers you can own: what their screens look like, how nice they are to type on, if their trackpads suck or not, and, of course, how many ugly stickers you’ll be removing if you buy one yourself.
Always be testing. For eternity.
My job has me using both Windows and macOS, so I find things to appreciate and dislike in both. I’ve also dabbled a bit in Linux with Bazzite, which I love, but I haven’t found the time to dive as deep as my colleagues Nathan, Stevie, or Terrence.
Outside of laptops, I occasionally cover cameras and mechanical keyboards, and once in a while I pitch in to support our games coverage (just a little). I also do my own product photography for my reviews, because I work remotely.
I’m a chatterbox who’s always keen to talk shop about any of this stuff or geeky hobbies like fountain pens, watches, or Gunpla (one of my dad-hobbies of choice). So join me today, ask some questions, and let’s shoot the shit.
