AnandTech is an online computer hardware magazine. It was founded in 1997 by then-14-year-old boy Anand Lal Shimpi, who served as CEO and editor-in-chief until August 30th, 2014, with Ryan Smith replacing him as editor-in-chief. The web site is a source of hardware reviews for off-the-shelf components and exhaustive benchmarking, targeted towards computer building enthusiasts, but later expanded to cover mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.〔For instance by: * * * * * 〕 Its investigative articles have been cited by other technology news sites like PC Magazine and The Inquirer. Some of their articles on the more mass market products like mobile phones are syndicated by CNNMoney. The large accompanying forum is recommended by some books for bargain hunting in the technology field. AnandTech was acquired by Purch on 17 December 2014. == History == In its early stages, Matthew Witheiler served as co-owner and Senior Hardware Editor, creating insightful and in-depth reviews for the site. 〔http://www.flybridge.com/team/Matthew-Witheiler/detailed-bio〕 In 2004 AnandTech added a feature to search for computer prices via a price engine developed in house by the senior editor as a graduate project in data mining. This price engine is called RTPE. In 2006 an AnandTech editor launched a spin-off called DailyTech, a technology news site. The move followed a similar evolution of the news section of AnandTech's peer publication, Tom's Hardware Guide, into TG Daily some months earlier. On August 30, 2014, Anand announced his decision to retire from the technology publishing industry to work at Apple, and named longtime AnandTech editor Ryan Smith as his successor. On December 17, 2014, Purch announced the acquisition of Anandtech.com. 〔"Purch Acquires AnandTech, Dominates Tech Expert and Enthusiast Market" (Purch.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AnandTech」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
