About History-Computer

Our Mission

History-Computer believes in sharing the positive power of technology and information to improve our lives and move the world forward.

Our Editorial Process

We have strict editorial guidelines developed over a number of years. Read more about History Computer’s editorial guidelines here.

Objective

We never accept direct payment in exchange for positive reviews. Period. Some technology publishers have sweetheart deals and accept free products from manufacturers in exchange for glowing reviews and commentary. We don’t, and never will. In fact, it’s our belief that History-Computer publishes more critical commentary of popular technology products than any other technology website out there. We strive to be fair and balanced, always evaluating a product or service solely on its merits. At the same time, we won’t hesitate to take a contrarian stance against the conventional wisdom circulating on far too many outlets.

Accurate

There’s no shortage of incorrect guidance when it comes to researching technology on the internet, and we know the headaches it can cause. That’s why we go to great lengths to ensure our content is a resource you can trust, written by passionate people. Nothing is published on our site without going through a peer-review fact check and, in every case possible, first-hand experience working with a product or validating that a process we share works.

Passionate

Our content should always reflect our underlying passion for technology. We know that technology can be equal parts awe-inspiring and frustrating, which is why every member of our team is expected to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices in their areas of focus. That also means engaging with the broader community, listening to your stories, and learning from your feedback to continually improve our ability to provide accurate, honest, and helpful information.
