Alun Taylor
Over the years, Alun has written freelance for several online publications on subjects ranging from mobile phones to digital audio equipment and PCs and from electric cars to industrial heritage. Before becoming a technology writer, he worked at Sony Music for 15 years. Quite what either occupation has to do with the degree in Early Medieval History he read at the University of Leeds is a bit of a grey area. A native of Scotland but an adopted Mancunian, Alun divides his time between writing, listening to live music, dreaming of the glens and dealing with an unhinged Norwegian Elkhound. For ITPro, Alun reviews laptops and PCs from brands such as Acer, Asus, Lenovo, Dell and HP.
