About Saeed Wazir

Saeed Wazir is a South Africa-based journalist with over 15 years of IT experience and a love for reading and writing. He joined Pocket-Lint after writing tech articles for Dot Esports and Screen Rant and now covers the latest laptops, tablets, and PCs.

What was your first phone?

A blue Ericsson 768 with a stylish flip design. 

When did your interest in technology begin?

Playing GTA and Quake II on my first PC, a Celeron 333MHz with 128MB of RAM, a 2GB hard drive, and a 64MB GeForce 2 GPU. It had a matching beige 14-inch monitor, a PS/2 keyboard, and a serial mouse with ball tracking. 

What tech products or categories are you most passionate about?

Laptops, gaming PCs, and everything that goes with them, like monitors, mice, and keyboards.
