Senior Tech Editor

Brian Conrad has spent over a decade testing consumer technology — laptops, headphones, wearables, and smart-home gear. Before reviewing full-time he worked eight years in IT systems administration, where he learned to judge hardware by how it holds up months after the honeymoon period, not just on a spec sheet. At The Inspect Aspect he leads computing and audio coverage, putting every device through real workflows — full battery rundowns, thermal stress, and week-long daily-driver tests — before it gets a score.

12+ years testing consumer electronics. Builds and benchmarks custom PCs. Specializes in laptops, audio, and wearables. Based in Austin, TX.
