Welcome to the new Tom’s Guide! I’ve been editor in chief since 2013, and this is by far the biggest relaunch in our history. The new Tom’s Guide is all about connecting you with the experts and information you need to upgrade your life. We’re moving beyond just features to give you real, tangible value — from time-saving AI shopping tools and exclusive expert Q&As to unique video franchises.
Why this matters to you:
- Find the right product faster
- Avoid wasting money on bad upgrades
- Get answers from real experts
- Stay on top of what actually matters
Here are just some of the biggest upgrades you’ll see as you tour the new Tom’s Guide.
The new Tom’s Guide homepage: Your unique tech nerve center
Our front door is now reframed as a must-visit destination. Forget scrolling through endless news — we give you a unique, dedicated live feed right on the Tom’s Guide homepage featuring the biggest tech news and, crucially, our expert reactions. From the latest Apple and Samsung launches to security threats and streaming developments, you’ll always be in the know, immediately understanding the impact.
We’re also streaming our latest, most viral TikTok videos (400,000 followers and climbing) directly onto the homepage, instantly showing you the gadgets we’re unboxing, testing, and providing our clear opinions on what’s worth your money (and what’s definitely not).
Distinctive AI Shopping Tools: Make better decisions and save time
Tom’s Guide’s new AI-powered tools are designed to solve the two biggest shopping problems: spending too long searching and avoiding bad buys. Our Product Finder leverages AI not just to search, but to filter for value based on our editorial testing, starting with TVs.
Skip the bouncing around from site to site and enter a simple prompt like “best OLED TVs under $1,000.” We immediately connect you with our editor recommendations, their clear verdict, and the lowest prices, ensuring you save time and get the right product.
To help you avoid bad upgrades, we're also developing a new Leap-O-Meter tool that offers real differentiation. If you’re on the fence about upgrading from, say, the iPhone 14 to the iPhone 17, just plug in the device you own and the one you’re thinking of upgrading to. We’ll instantly give you a decisive Leap Score, quickly summarize the biggest upgrades that matter, and fetch the latest deals live right now.
Next-level Community Engagement: Access to real expert answers
Our Tom’s Guide Club is already a thriving community where over 70,000 members access newsletters, engage with the community, take polls and quizzes, and use exclusive discounts.
We are now elevating this experience with exclusive Live Q&As. This means Tom’s Guide members can directly interact with our category experts, getting personalized answers to questions on the latest products and troubleshooting assistance when problems arise.
We’re also relaunching the Tom’s Guide Daily newsletter and rolling out new specialty newsletters from our senior editors — like Amanda Caswell’s “AI Insider” — designed to demystify the latest innovations and help you immediately put them to good use.
The new Tom’s Guide is about helping you save time and make better decisions
Our ultimate goal remains to be the leading tech lifestyle destination, but now we're hyper-focused on making it more accessible and personal. We want to be your concierge to the tech world, empowering you to find the right products for your needs and budget more quickly, avoid bad buys, and feel confident instead of overwhelmed.
We promise to make that journey more delightful and fun. Check it out and tell us how we’re doing in the comments!
