Thoughts from the Computing and Gaming editor

I feel like I say this every year, but we really have seem some incredible products from both the computing and gaming categories this year. For computing, Apple has shaken up the laptop market by introducing its new M1 range of MacBooks, while AMD and Nvidia launched its new generation of graphics cards to take PC gaming up another level.

It’s also been one a major 12 months for gaming too, with Sony and Microsoft releasing their new games consoles. And of course, there has also been a slew of great games to make the most of the shiny new hardware. I’m excited to celebrate all of these fantastic launches, so keep an eye on Trusted Reviews to find out the award winners.
