    Anandtech Acquired by Purch

    I don't know about you guys but there aren't many sites I use for tech news. Hexus being the main UK based one, Anandtech was the main US site I used.

    Well it seems that Anandtech has now been sold to the company that owns Tom’s Hardware. Not sure how this will work out, but I was unhappy seeing Anand and Brian Klug leave (both to Apple if memory serves). I really loved their podcasts.

    Oh dear now they will just be incredibly positive about every product that they review by any very large company whilst either completely ignoring or glossing over the downsides?

    Oops, forgot they already do that.

    I've read Anandtech a lot over the years - it was excellent at times, e.g. when SSDs came out and there were some major problems with the controllers. Anandtech seemed to be pretty on the ball about it and posted some really great myth-busting articles.

    Will be interesting to see how things develop now.

    Anandtech is the review site I have relied on the most over the years.. though admittedly I rarely read hardware reviews until I need to buy something - which is not often. I remember those SSD articles, and I also quite liked how they reviewed laptops as well. I hope that this acquisition is not going to have a negative impact but I am a bit worried.
