Staff writer, hardware and tools
Anders Vik
Anders Vik spent six years fixing water-damaged laptops and overclocked gaming rigs at a repair shop in Austin before deciding he'd rather write about hardware than solder it for strangers all day. He owns more keyboards and spare NAS drives than furniture, and he tests most of what he covers on his own desk before writing a word about it. He joined Stacklog to cover the hardware and daily tools that change how a workday actually feels.
