Maximum PC - Non-disk version

Average rating: Stars

The best Computer Magazine

I think this magazine is the best computer magazine around. However, this magazine is more towards the gamers and the extreme PC enthusiasts (like me). I don't know why anybody would want the disk version because it just costs more and there's nothing really good on the disk. As for the magazine it reviews pretty much everything that you would want to know about, even a few things you don't really want to know about. A lot of people get mad at Maximum PC because of the way they put there reviews and everything. Some months it'll be focused on MP3 Players and other months Motherboards or CPU's or something like that. I don't know how many people like this type of magazine, but I sure do. If you have come from PC World or PC Magazine and are looking for a more entertaining magazine this is for you. If you like PC World and PC Magazine and are looking for an addition to these, do not get this magazine unless you are very sure that you are going to like reading about graphics cards and cpus. So all those people that don't like computers, don't like computer gaming upgrade advise, and don't like entertaining magazines stay away from this one and stop spamming amazon with reviews of the magazine that are bias.

Great, fun magazine... but has delivery issues.

This magazine definitely has a different feel from magazines such as "PC Magazine" or "PC World", two other computing magazines I subscribe to. While those magazines have more business-ish or home-office tones, this magazine is more for the pc enthusiast who wants a kick-a**, screaming fast gaming machine and the latest, fastest hardware. Articles include topics such as hardware reviews, reviews of dvd and cd-ripping plus other multimedia activities, and altering your pc with such activities as paint jobs, water cooling, and overclocking. The last page is dedicated to creative and original pc modifications done by real readers. The magazine is definitely a fun read, plus the subscription price is excellent.

However, in three years, I've never missed an issue of PCWorld or PCMag -- but right now I'm missing an issue of Maximum PC for the 4th time! They always offer to extend my subscription when I report this, but it's still really annoying that I either now have to go buy an issue on the newstands or miss out on an issue. (Maybe I keep missing issues of this magazine and not others because people prefer to steal this one from my mail -- who knows??)

The Car & Driver of Computer Magazines

I have been a subscriber to PC magazine for over ten years and watched in dismay as slowly but surely the magazine has become painfully boring. Max PC may not have the erudite vocabulary, it may not have the latest outlook or word-processing tips, but it has FUN. The joy of doing something faster and better is back. I read Max PC and it takes me back to the seventies when computing power hitherto available only to businesses started to leak down to the public.

Most of the other magazines have lost the hardware angle completely. Max PC is for those who take pride in the hardware. Forget the corporate drones who are forced to review the best mini-mouse for cramming work in coach class--instead, read about how to make a PC case shine like a Ferrari. Learn how to overclock a processor with liquid cooling (who would have thought?). It is simply fascinating and has taken me back to the days when new developments were fast and furious. Worth every penny--heck, I may even get back into computer games.
