 Keeping Up With The Digital World January 18, 2008

You can get plenty of information about computers on the internet minutes or hours after it is revealed but theres something about sitting down with a paper magazine to read that makes me enjoy the day I get this is the mail.
Great PC tech magazine December 22, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been looking for a great PC hobbyist magazine for a while and Maximum PC fits the bill nicely. While other so-called PC magazines are focusing more and more on consumer electronics, Maximum PC provides in-depth reporting on cutting-edge PC tech for the hobbyist trying to get the most out of their PC. It's not just for gamers, either. I look forward to my issue every month.
Worth Reading from Front to Back December 19, 2007

Even when you think you know about something, you might learn something new. For example, I did not know that burning a CD at lower speeds increases compatibility. And each issue comes with a CD full of anything from utilities to game demos. $25 for a one year, 12-issue subscription is a steal.

Maximizing Electronics Enjoyment September 24, 2007
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Maximum PC is a magazine for electronics freaks, offering many different articles about electronics; how to buy them, how to repair them, how to get the most out of them, and how best to replace them. This magazine is aimed in one primary direction: Making the most out of the electronic devices available. This is accomplished through the many instructional articles, how to guides, and question and answer sessions.
When Maximum PC isn't offering words of wisdom on ways to improve your life with electronics, the magazine is usually offering reviews of new products. The reviews section is one of the largest parts of each issue and while it does a nice job bringing new products to the forefront, the reviews are often less than stellar. Rather than analyze a few products in- depth, Maximum PC instead prefers to offer shorter reviews of many products. This part of the magazine seems more concerned with quantity than quality, in contrast to most of the remainder of the magazine.
One thing about Maximum PC that isn't to my liking is the technical nature of many articles. Maximum PC likes to get to the root of things (literally), and it is common to find articles talking about circuits, memory, and other boring subjects. This is fine for those who take their technology to the extremes, but I have no interest in learning about the inter-workings of the wiring inside my personal computer or the electronic pulses that cause my printer to respond on queue. This is a little too much technology for me, but I know there are some readers who will relish the depths that Maximum PC goes to when it strips down electronic devices into their component parts.
Overall, Maximum PC is a pretty good electronics magazine for young and middle- aged adults. It loses me from time to time when it gets overly technical, but it still ranks as a good magazine about electronics. The numerous question and answer sessions, the educational articles, and the product reviews make this a magazine worth reading.
