i dont really respect the amount of actual technical knowledge he has, because well he has none. I'm talking like technical knowledge like daveb3d or the realworld tech guy, or some of anands technical writers. But i think he's good since he reviews a lot of stuff that i cant possibly buy all of and fishes our lots of links to click on. He's a lot like anand i guess, except well different attitude

The "webmonger" of HardOCP (I refuse to use the stupid brackets :p).

I think he's a very nice guy. I've emailed him several times, and always got back a nice, personal response. He even chatted with me awhile about my school, Tulane. He's damn funny too.

I think he's pretty funny, and certainly a breath of fresh air in an otherwise boring day ;)

btw Sacotool, incase you weren't joking go here to read Kyle's "work" ;)

He's ok in my book. I don't go to the site looking for comprehensive technical details, just generally a fairly funny summary of new p00p.
hehehe

Kyle's awesome. Every time I've e-mailed him I've gotten a personal response, even when I made a crude joke about him, his wife, and oral sex... Actually, maybe that's why I got a response... :p

I like his style, his lack of respect for anything or anyone - Nobody's beyond his needles.

Anandtech = hardcore reviews

HardOCP = fun everyday news

Both are great and I love teh way Kyle presents his site, thats what makes it fun and unique.

overall... i'd say he's a good guy as long as you don't do business with him

so, what i'm saying is, IMO he is a bit two faced...

I was also wondering who is Kyle Bennett? SO I guess I have no opinion.

<< Not in Anand's league, though... >>



I tend to disagree with you. Anand is more professional and more technically detailed in how he goes about his business, but Kyle is more humorous and entertaining.

They're both equivalent, they just go about things in different ways.

It's all Good! :)

He has shorter reviews for impatient people like me. Half the time, I just skip right over to Anand's benches. But occasionally I do read the whole thing.

Kyle and Steve are both great. I usually go to HardOCP to check out the days news, before I head on over here to the forums. Everytime I email Kyle I always get a personal response, which, is cool.:)

No matter how many people don't like him out there - you gotta give him originality points
