As a longtime reader of Anandtech, I hope that Anand leaving doesn't spell the end of such a nice tech news site.

I've always considered Anandtech to be the best site for computer hardware and in-depth reviews. The difference between Anandtech and, for example, Tom's Hardware, is just uncompareable.

Agreed - the guy has the right touch of managerial, customer-oriented, trends-spotting, and so on. He has a tech degree and I wonder if he won't be going into some sort of visionary/guidance type post where he helps management prioritize and refine. Sounds like fun, anyway.

Meanwhile, though I wish Anandtech the best, i can't imagine they'll be able to keep it up.

Y'know, i just went back and had another look at the site and was again impressed by the quality of the articles. I went through the whole NAS section and was stunned by how useful and informative it was. (The comments, on the other hand, were ridiculous. I'd assumed better quality article would lead to more technical and thoughtful discussion. Instead it was pretty lame).
