Sean Endicott is a news writer and apps editor for Windows Central. He has covered the Windows, hardware, and AI beats for over 11 years. A journalism graduate of Nottingham Trent University, Sean has documented the industry’s entire arc — from the Lumia era to the launch of Windows 11 and the subsequent rise of generative AI.
Having started his career at Thrifter, Sean developed expertise in price tracking and hardware value. He now uses that experience to help readers navigate the complexities of the PC market, whether he's analyzing the "adoption wall" facing a billion Windows 10 PCs or tracking how the AI boom is driving up the cost of consumer RAM.
Outside of tech journalism, Sean is a pioneer in UK sports media. In 2017, he became one of the first people to stream an American football game in the UK via smartphone, eventually managing live broadcasts for the University of Nottingham and filming for the Great Britain national team. He is also one of the country’s leading experts in AP Capture systems.
A tech-forward coach on the field, Sean was named the 2024 BAFA Youth Coach of the Year. Whether he’s using Excel and Clipchamp to lead his team to back-to-back northern championships or breaking down a new AI feature, he’s focused on how technology can be used to gain a practical edge.
