PCWorld has a new executive editor in charge of hardware coverage. We love him and
his work, and we think you will too. Meet Gordon Mah Ung, one of the founding
fathers of hardcore tech journalism.
For some 15 years, Gordon and I worked together at Maximum PC, a magazine and
website I launched in the late 90s to serve PC upgrading fanatics, and anyone else
interested in cutting-edge consumer tech. Gordon quickly carved out a loyal fan base,
and emerged as the heart and soul of Maximum PC, delivering reviews and explainer
articles that put readers first, and captured the essence of what makes technology so
fun and fascinating.
Gordon eventually took my job as editor-in-chief of Maximum PC, but now he joins me
once again at PCWorld for bigger, better things. If you’re already a fan of Gordon’s
work, you can follow him here for his trademark coverage of PCs, components,
accessories and all the other hardware categories that appeal to today’s tech
enthusiasts.
He’s already covered a juicy Intel leak
(http://www.pcworld.com/article/2843961/intels-broadwell-unlimited-enthusiast-chipmight-face-heavy-competition-from-intel.html), and on Thursday we posted his review
(http://www.pcworld.com/article/2846219/lenovo-yoga-3-pro-review-a-potentialsurface-pro-3-killer-with-a-fancy-new-hinge.html) of the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro. Moving
forward, we may even see a flashlight review every now and then.
We still haven’t given Gordon clearance to cuss on podcasts and videos, but there’s
always this awesome (and NSFW) fan-created soundboard
(http://www.leedash.com/rantsoundboard/) if you ever need to hear Gordon in his
finest ranting form. He’s also the moderator of his own fake Twitter account
(https://twitter.com/gordonung)—so follow him (the fake Gordon Mah Ung, that is) for
frequent surprises.

So this is where you left MPC to come? Well, at least it should elevate the level
of credibility here. I'm really gonna miss your Rant Of The Week though.

It's possible we could do it here. You know, like why do fanboys only say a feature
matters when it's something on their platform?
