Cale Hunt brings to Windows Central more than nine years of experience writing about PC gaming, Windows laptops, accessories, and beyond. If it runs Windows or in some way complements the hardware, there’s a good chance he knows about it, has written about it, or is already busy testing it.
Cale has published hundreds of reviews on Windows Central, and he's not afraid to give his honest opinion regarding everything from PC gaming hardware to Windows software and laptops.
This allows him to efficiently curate buying guides and product advice, giving readers a no-nonsense look at the options that will best suit their needs.
When he isn’t in his office writing, tinkering with tech, or gaming, Cale enjoys playing acoustic guitar (he’s a sucker for Bluegrass music), reading novels, tending the garden, and providing his two cats some much-needed attention.
