Notebooks & Desktop Systems
In this position the reviewer will be required to present and benchmark pre-made systems. This could include anything from a Dell laptop to net-tops to fully-fledged desktop systems. For examples of reviews and quality expectations, please CLICK HERE.
Motherboards
Some overclocking experience is a must along with knowledge of the various platforms and technologies. However, you don’t have to be a “ranked” overclocker or have access to high-end cooling products. AM3, LGA2011, LGA1155, etc. compatible hardware or a combination thereof is essential. A confirmed HWBot or CPU-Z validated link of an overclock you have achieved is suggested but not required. For examples of reviews and quality expectations, please CLICK HERE

While the above-listed areas are what we are putting a focus upon for the time being, we’re always on the lookout for new writing talent and people who are just plain passionate about technology. If you think there’s a way you can contribute to HWC as an official staff member – be it by covering news, doing editorials, editing pre-release articles, becoming a writer in any of the fields we currently cover, etc. – then by all means, drop us a line. We’d love to hear from you!
