Long author bio: Jonas has been working with technology since childhood in the 1970's, starting with BASIC programming on a TRS-80. Through the years, the screens have gotten more colorful, with higher resolution, and both smaller and larger. However, the focus remains the same- finding the best product for the task, and then getting the most out of it. When not torture testing Wi-Fi routers for Tom's Hardware, you can also find his writings on Techradar Pro, and PCGamer.
