It could be.

But I don’t see any other PC/laptop reviews by this author. He writes mostly about cybersecurity. And his Neo articles seem a bit…biased. Compare to his other articles, which are well-researched. Example:

My guess is either someone is posting articles in his name, or he’s taking a free Neo in return for a positive review.
