 This is the best PC magazine out there. July 26, 2003
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I am a network engineer and computers are my job. This magazine provides the amateur and the professional tips, tricks, ideas and reviews that are easy to understand and implement. Best of all - its a good read.

Think of it as a Consumer Reports for the world of computing- except that's really too mild an endorsement. PC World is much, much better in terms of detail and in-depth analysis than CR ever was. I read it regularly, both for work and home, and consult it before all my major digital purchases.

I got this magazine for free 1 year after I purchased a laptop. I didn't even know I was going to get it. After my one year subscription ended I renewed. Its a great magazine and I highly reccomend it.

I have read PC World on and off for a while. All that I can say is that PC World is VERY newbish. This Mag talks about how dells are the best, which are the best pc manufacturers, etc. It never talks about the best motherboards, best Graphics cards, etc. If you dont KNOW A LOT about computers, then this may be an alright subscription, but I highly doubt it. If you need to know which is the best PC around, then you need only to buy ONE issue, not an entire subscription. Also, if PC World were good, they would know that building your PC is the best way to go, and they don't even give a hoot about hardcore companies like Voodoo and Alienware, so they never talk about the high end systems. They just go trotting around, talking about their inky dinky dells. Trust me folks, PC World is nothing but a newbie magazine. No where in this magazine will they tell you how to build a computer, or which motherboard to buy and why, or even which HARDCORE computer to buy. No, all they talk about are their little business junk PCs that we call Dells, Gateways, Compaqs, and HPs.

You can rely on PC World magazine to bring you the information on the products you are curious about. Whether you are buying or building, PC World can help you make the right decisions. The writers are always conscious of the best quality for your money. In addition, several privacy issues are addressed and step by step recommendations solidify a quick and easy resolution for protecting your PC. This periodical is also easy to read. The information is put in language that is pleasing and understandable for any reader. It is mandatory reading for the serious buyer. PC World also offers a very useful website including an easy to use product finder with user reviews, sometimes lab test reviews, best prices on the web, and a comparison tool so that visitors can compare specifications for all kinds of computer hardware and software. Most importantly, PC World is not like a lot of those boring computer magazines out there. It's a magazine with many different personalities. Many writers' columns can be helpful and funny at the same time. It's a people's magazine written for the folks out there with the same issues that everyone in the PC community share.
