Harry Rabinowitz

Harry Rabinowitz is a tech journalist and deals expert who focuses on personal technology, fitness and sales coverage. He has over five years of experience producing consumer-facing content for major and smaller brands, including work with NBC News and retail companies. He served as a tech reporter and reviewer at NBC Select beginning in 2022, concentrating on personal tech and fitness products. Across his coverage, he tests hardware, gear and services himself and turns that experience into straightforward, service-driven shopping guidance.

Personal Tech and Everyday Devices

Rabinowitz’s core reporting at NBC Select centers on everyday consumer technology: phones, earbuds, smart home devices, e-readers and home entertainment. He has covered phones and accessories through staff-tested guides to protective phone cases, emphasizing durability and real-world use.

His deals coverage on wireless earbuds highlights devices like Apple AirPods Pro 2, explaining why they are a top choice for iPhone owners while calling out notable price drops.

He regularly writes about smart home gear such as Ring video doorbells, focusing on value at “lowest price ever” moments and what features matter for security and convenience. His Kindle guide breaks down the differences between models like Paperwhite, Colorsoft and Scribe to help readers decide which e-reader best fits their budget and reading habits.

In CES 2024 coverage, he selected 14 products that consumers could buy immediately, drawing on in-person reporting and conversations with dozens of brands to surface notable devices and accessories. His NBC Select editors’ picks page frames tech as “everywhere and everything,” from doorbells to shoes, and emphasizes gear that enables a seamless workstation, home theater and everyday routine.

Fitness, Outdoors and Wearable Tech

Rabinowitz consistently links technology to fitness, outdoor activity and physical wellbeing.

NBC Select describes him as a reporter who covers technology, fitness and the outdoors, with stories on fitness trackers, walking shoes, hiking boots and camping for beginners. His work on bikepacking documents a 100-mile ride and overnight trip with an outdoors group, where he tests his own theories about cycling and camping and details the gear essentials he relied on. He has written repeatedly about fitness trackers and health wearables, including coverage of devices like the Oura Ring 4 during major sales events.

Gift guides he contributes to, such as Valentine’s Day picks, often feature practical apparel and gear he has used for years, like versatile jackets he calls flagship pieces. Across these stories, he treats fitness and outdoors gear as an extension of personal tech, evaluating how products support training, comfort and long-term performance.

Deals, Sales and Shopping Holidays

Commerce and deal hunting are a defining strand in Rabinowitz’s work. His NBC author bio notes that he investigates new launches, tests products and “finds great deals for all kinds of people, tech-savvy and tech-averse included.” NBC Select repeatedly identifies him as a reporter who has covered deals and sales for years, particularly around fitness and technology products.

His portfolio includes “deal of the day” pieces on items like Ring doorbells at their lowest prices, where he outlines key specifications and why the discount is significant. He has written deal-focused coverage of smartwatches like the Apple Watch SE when they drop by around a third in price, tying the sale to feature sets and typical use cases.

Seasonal and tentpole shopping events are prominent in his remit; his professional profile describes him as leading shopping holiday sale guides for Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Amazon Prime Day. Alongside this, he has produced coverage of major tech trade shows and connected them to purchase decisions, such as CES roundups that spotlight products consumers can buy immediately.

His sales writing extends to occasions like Memorial Day and Black Friday, where he compiles broad lists of discounted tech, fitness and home products and highlights standout savings up to steep percentage cuts.

Testing, Methodology and Voice

Rabinowitz’s coverage is distinguished by hands-on testing and a clear, utilitarian voice. His author bio at NBC Select emphasizes that he “investigates new launches” and “tests the best products,” positioning him as both reporter and reviewer. On his professional site, he describes himself as a tech journalist, video creator and photographer, noting that he creates video and photo content from pitch through publication and has tested hundreds of products.

Articles like his pen guide for left-handed people explicitly reference his own writing style and hand position, using his experience to evaluate smudge resistance and comfort. In reviews such as the Brick app blocker, he recruits colleagues to use a product for two weeks and then interviews them about their experience, building multi-person testing into his methodology.

For event-driven coverage like CES, he attends in person, speaks with dozens of brands and researches trending products before selecting recommendations. His editors’ picks statement underlines a preference for gear that “just works” and reduces the need for frequent upgrades, framing his perspective as focused on long-term reliability and confidence rather than novelty alone. Across formats - guides, reviews, gift lists and deal roundups - he maintains a straightforward, service-oriented tone that centers on what a product enables in daily life.
