i hate when i go and buy a computer magazine and then get home and find out that everything inside i either a)know how to do if its a magazine like that or b) have already seen every part/technology/whatever their talking about online.

Is there a decent pc mag out there?

Given the number of ads, almost all computer mags should be free. At free, they would be worthwhile. At 5-7 bucks a copy, they ain't.

by the time an article is published and delivered to you, it's at least a week old. read tom's hardware and engadget/gizmodo

I highly recommend their off topic subforum... not so much for P&N.

Id really like to find a magazine with projects and shit to do and stuff like that. Im a big fan of POPsci, anytime theres anything in there on computers its usually better than what they write in dedicated computer magazines.

Nice to know I'm not the only one who did this. XD

I should renew my subscription sometime, I loved the CDs that came with it back when I had dial up.

I'm with the others. By the time it makes a magazine, it's month old news. I use Dailytech, Engadget, Digg, Gizmodo and Arstechnica.

Maximum PC is decent crapper material for sure :)

once in a while I'll pick up a PC Gamer and flip through it but I don't buy mags anymore. too much goodness online
