Peter Wolinski
Peter is the Reviews Editor at Tom's Guide. Having built gaming PCs since he was 10 (that's a while ago now) he's a bit of a nerd about components and hardware. He's also been an iPhone user since the classic iPhone 4, and a Mac user for well over a decade. Experienced in using and testing all kinds of technology — from phones through to tablets, computers, games consoles, cameras and smart home tech — helping people find the best tech for them (at the best prices) is what Peter does best. A photographer since he bought his first camera (a Fujifilm) in 2015, Peter was previously an Editor for Canon-Europe.com. He then edited the Cameras and How To sections of Tom's Guide. When he's not crafting helpful, in-depth reviews, Peter can usually be found out and about honing his architectural photography skills, riding his motorcycle around Welsh mountain roads, telling everyone about his two greyhounds, squeezing a few extra FPS out of PC games or perfecting his espresso shots.
