 Great Magazine September 11, 2007

After going through pretty much all the PC type magazines out there I finally found what I consider the best one out there. I still have a PC gamer subscription but I generally skim through all but the few game types I like and the hardware sections. It seems like everything in this magazine is interesting to me every month. I have never found another magazine that I didn't skim through whole sections almost every month
Things you will see in this magazine
hardware reviews
software reviews (games and productivity stuff)
website reviews - It's nice to have a place that finds the cool websites that I just don't have time to find on my own.
Scam information - Gives you some things to watch out for.
PC build and configuration advice - Lots of articles on stuff like building PC's and fixing up Windows or even Linux.
Technology advances - This is where I keep up on upcoming PC advances so I know if it's a good time to upgrade.
Overall I just can't say enough about how relevant the information in this magazine is to my interests and a PC Enthusiast

Not so max anymore, but still worth the price (I get it without the CD as I can download any demos or utilities they discuss).
If you just have to read about PC gear, this is it. The new forums at the mag website are weak and loaded with newbs, wannabes and politically correct mods. Check Delphi forums for the ORIGINAL MaxPC foum, The Commport.

If you are *really* into computers (especially hardware) then this mag is for you. Oh it does cover software as well (especially games) but this is a mag for those into the gear.
Much of it is aimed at the DIY and gamer crowd, but for those who aren't all that into that (like me), it's still a good reference with a lot of useful information and reviews.
The only thing I don't think much of is the monthly CD. Much of the software is somewhat dated by the time you get it and most if not all if it is available for download on the Internet (and you usually get newer versions).
If you're really into games, then the CD might be a good choice thanks to the game demos (which can be sizable downloads) but as far as the other stuff is concerned, it's mostly worthless.
Save yourself the expense and get the subscription without the CD (which Amazon doesn't seem to offer - but it does exist). Even if you are into games you might find that only a few of what they put on the CDs are of interest and your cost will still be lower by just downloading it.

Lots of practical stuff, good content, though sometimes too focused on the (expensive) high end.

I recieved a recent copy of Maximum PC as a gift and I have to say I'm quite happy with it. The reviews are in depth, and mostly feature length instead of short half page reviews. The hardware reviews are interesting and benchmarked well, and the editors appear to know what they're talking about. The taglines they give to their pros and cons are also entertaining. I'd highly recommend this magazine for people interested in PCs.
