Alex Kidman

Hardware Editor

Sydney, Australia

Alex is a multi-award-winning veteran tech journalist with over four decades of experience in the field. He's a former editor of CNET Australia, Gizmodo Australia, GameSpot Australia, and PC Mag Australia, formerly a co-host of the award-winning Vertical Hold: Behind The Tech News Podcast and YouTuber. He still respects the old school definition of hardware, in that it's something you can drop onto your feet and cause damage. Alex also has a passion for retro gaming, Japanese language and culture, and pro wrestling.
