Articles by Christian Guyton, Editor, Computing

Christian is TechRadar’s UK-based Computing Editor. He came to us from Maximum PC magazine, where he fell in love with computer hardware and building PCs. He was a regular fixture amongst our freelance review team before making the jump to TechRadar, and can usually be found drooling over the latest high-end graphics card or gaming laptop before looking at his bank account balance and crying.

After attending university in Bath, Christian spent a while bouncing around different freelance jobs, covering expos and writing for industry publications in the leisure, architecture, and medical sectors. He always had a keen interest in PC gaming, though, which eventually drew him towards tech journalism. He can often be found squeezing in a cheeky round of Slay the Spire or a different tough-as-nails rougelike on his office lunch break.

Outside of work, Christian is a keen campaigner for LGBTQ+ rights and the owner of a charming rescue dog named Lucy, having adopted her after he beat cancer in 2021. She keeps him fit and healthy through a combination of face-licking and long walks, and only occasionally barks at him to demand treats when he’s trying to work from home.
