Awaiting Delivery July 11, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I know it takes eight weeks and maybe longer but I do appreciate the information that I've gained from store bought "Maximum PC" magazines. I don't build computers but when I do order one, it is nice to be familier with the workings and attributes of the new computer.
Yes... you can find much information on-line and generally faster than the amount of time it takes for the magazine to reach your mailbox, however, is great to kick back away from the computer in your favorite chair and 'read' about it :)
A very good magazine... but 'adult' language used at times does not appear to me as professional use of the english language.
Thus the 4 rather than five stars.
 Plan to get your magazine delivered by the next ICE AGE! June 17, 2006

The magazines ordered through amazon take an ETERNITY to be delivered. The estimated time for my delivery was April after I had placed the order in Feb. That's a long enough wait as it is---I ended up receiving it the the end of June! And when I called to complain...the customer service rep explained to me that it was technically within the estimated allowed time for delivery. so bottom line...if you have an urge to order a magazine that may take half a year or so to get to you...then this is the ONE FOR YOU-hands down. I plan on never ordering a single magazine through Amazon again. Definitely don't send a subscription to anyone as a birthday gift- it'll maybe make it in time for the FOLLOWING birthday year..so plan years in advance!

A fun read encompassing nearly every important facet of the PC with an emphasis on performance and gaming. Yes the information they provide can be found on the internet, but the simplicity and no-nonsense approach of their reviews makes getting the information a pleasure rather than an arduous task leading to more questions than answers.

This mag is for people who think they are computer experts because they can change out a video card or follow directions on changing an OS setting.
Shallow coverage, and some of the lamest humor you will ever come across.
It is nothing more then a rehash of what is freely and easily available on the internet. There is nothing original in this mag, ever. Also it tends to copy and paste much of the issue from 12 months earlier. All the main articles are nearly the same every 12 months. Don't believe me? Take two magazines that are 12 months apart and compare them.
The reviews are also weak. nearly every month you will see: THE FASTEST SYSTEM WE EVER TESTED!!!!! YAAAAAWWWWWWNNNNN. Who cares? Anyone who knows even the slightest about computers knows that speed is not the most important attribute, even for gamers. Besides, does it really matter that system y is .00005% faster on their poor testing system then computer z?
The second star is for Mr Halfhills column. It is the only part that is consistantly interesting and the only person there with real technical know-how.
Read toms hardware and whatever tech news you want, learn how to use search engines, and skip this pointless mag.
