Computing

Welcome to TechRadar’s computing channel. Here, you’ll find all the latest news, reviews, guides and more for anything computer related. We’re not just talking about laptops and PCs (although we have loads of content on them), but also MacBooks, Chromebooks, peripherals (such as mice and keyboards) and the software they run.
The computing landscape is constantly and rapidly changing, which can be both exciting and baffling. An increasing number of us are either working from home or embracing hybrid ways of working, which means picking the best laptop for your needs is essential. Meanwhile, the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbots, such as ChatGPT and Google Bard, has given us a tantalizing glimpse of what the future of tech holds.
There’s never been a more exciting time in computing, so let us help you make sense of it all.
