Contributing freelance writer
Mark Knapp is a contributing freelancer for IGN with over 10 years of experience covering a diverse range of tech and electronics, including everything from gaming PCs and peripherals to hi-fi home theater gear and electric bikes. His work has included hundreds of hands-on reviews, such as his testing of many of the latest smartphones for IGN. He’s worked with many other publications over the years, including PCMag, CNET, TechRadar, Reviewed, and CNN Underscored. When Mark isn’t writing up reviews, he’s still probably working, as the job of a reviewer knows no definite schedule. He’s often playing the latest competitive FPS with friends while testing gaming peripherals, cruising the streets on an e-bike for testing with earbuds under evaluation, putting a recent projector to task with his bad movie club, or posting up at the gym for yoga or rock climbing — his two main hobbies that involve actually unplugging. You can find Mark on Twitter @Techn0Mark or BlueSky at @Techn0Mark.
