Ben Stockton is a deals writer at Tom’s Hardware. Previously a hardware writer at PCGamesN, Ben’s been writing about Windows and PC hardware (among other things) since 2018, with bylines that include How-To Geek, Tom’s Guide, and Cloudwards. He was also the managing editor at groovyPost.com and has previously contributed to Computeractive magazine.
Since his earliest days tinkering with Windows 95 on a classic Pentium MMX PC, Ben’s been obsessed with understanding how technology works, chatting about it with anyone who’ll listen. Along the way, he’s worked as a UK college lecturer, teaching IT to adults and teenagers, and as a PC technician, tackling all kinds of tech problems. He’s now busy tracking down brilliant bargains on all kinds of hardware, but when he doesn’t have his deal hat on, he’s adding to his homelab, watching old Star Trek episodes, or taking two hyperactive pugs on a much needed walk.
