My dad decided to subscribe to PCWorld to get me reading more, there any better pc magazines out there? Just wonderin.
Not really. Though, you're probably better off just reading something such as Engadget.com.
its a bias question
lol alt
Ehh... PCWorld isn't that great anymore. It's mostly business stuff with some OK articles, though I just gave up on it.
Maximum PC? I read it, it's alright. Most of the stuff in it is usually already posted on the site though. :/
Most/All articles you'll find in tech magazines will be a week old by the time they're printed and shipped. I'd personally just keep up to date using tech news sites.
i laike ZDnet
PC gamer.
Look at those aleinwaers DOOD!
:byodood:
I enjoy maximum pc. It is pretty good and their articles are usually up to date.
Maximum PC is good. PCWorld has started shifting its priorities recently. I've noticed that they do less pc articles and more articles on electronics in general.
PC Gamer is okay. Their staff are pretty cool guys, some of which frequent their TF2 server.
I prefer CPU, pretty sleek and keeps me up to date.
I really like PC Authority or APC
The best hardware magazine in the UK is CustomPC
lol PC Gamer, literally half the magazine is prebuilt desktop ads.

I'm a subscriber and I've never noticed that. There are some, but it's far from half.
I read PC Gamer, Maximum PC, and if it counts 2600.

I like maximum pc. They usually have tutorials which do not get outdated as easily as others.
I think I'll go with Maximum PC along with PC World. Even if I've seen most of the articles it's just for a good read.

It just seems to me like [b]PC[/b]World have become kinda mac biased.
I would like to take this time to say:
R.I.P EGM, congrats and giving everybody a subscription to Maxim.

OK, I went through a mag and there were two ads.

Okay, I haven't subscribed for a year now, I went through my Fallout 3 edition one, and found that 20 pages were about prebuilt gaming laptops and desktops, and it's a 94 page magazine. So more like 1/5, but there are ton of other ads for computer parts and hardware. Maybe they've changed it now.

I've got the spring 09 issue right here in my hand, going through it for prebuilt ads, I only find two advertisements for prebuilt computers, one for cyberpower, and one for ibuypower
PC Gamer UK is pretty cool beans, but it's not too focused on the hardware side of things. In fact, it's the least hardware oriented PC mag I've read.

Maxim isn't even very obscene.
