Darragh is Tom’s Guide’s Buying Guide Editor and is fascinated by all things bizarre in tech. This usually leads to assorted coverage varying from washing machines designed for earbuds to expert buying advice on the latest laptops. Whether it's connecting Scar from The Lion King to two-factor authentication or turning his love for laptops into a fabricated rap battle from 8 Mile, he believes there’s always an interesting angle no matter the subject.
Darragh has previously been an Editor for Laptop Mag and a News Editor for Time Out Dubai, where he also headed the gaming and tech section. His work can be seen in Mashable, Android Police, Shortlist Dubai, Proton, theBit.nz, ReviewsFire and more.
While laptops are his bread and butter, he’s also reviewed smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, VR headsets, monitors, speakers, docking stations and VPNs. He’s covered IFA, MWC Barcelona, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and more.
When he's not checking out the latest devices and updating buying guides with expert advice, he can be found going for dreaded long runs, watching terrible shark movies, and trying to find time to game.
