Description

Reviewing Hardware (Especially Prebuilt gaming PCs, Monitors, and Gaming Chairs):

Can get the products for review on your own

Must be capable of producing coherent, "flowing," well-written coverage of the devices under test. Writing does not need to be flowery -- but it does need to be functional and offer enough flow to carry a reader through the piece.

More objective and distanced technical writing is preferred to creative writing.
