Jake Morrison

Staff Writer

A tech enthusiast based in Seattle with more than a decade of hands-on experience in personal computing and consumer hardware. He came up on the enthusiast side of tech, learning by taking things apart and putting them back together, and has spent the years since building out a home setup where every device gets used the way an owner would use it, not the way a spec sheet suggests. He brings a practical, no-hype perspective: what a piece of tech is actually like to live with once the unboxing video is over and the honeymoon week has passed. Jake doesn't trust a device until it's held up through weeks of real daily use across work, entertainment, and back-to-back calls, without thermal throttling, dropped connections, or a fan that turns every video call into a distraction.
