PC Magazine

I used to buy MaximumPC off the stands but it was quite literally insane at $10 Canadian per issue. It was good, however I expect a magazine 3x as thick if I'm paying ten bucks.

I would pick one up every now and then in the states and it was still 7-8 bucks. Aka, it was expensive. but i did get the "bonus cd" of extras....

I read Extreme Tech and it was actually pretty good, not as good as MaximumPC but a hell of a lot better than PCMAG.

Maximum PC subscriptions are like 12 bucks a year 🙂

I subscribe to PC Gamer, PC World, PC Magazine, and Computer Shopper. They help me stay kind of in touch with some areas I don't follow avidly, and they help me recommend things to peole and tell people what to look for. Not everyone wants to build a PC themselves, so I try to help them with pre-built systems and other devices.

I subscribe to a bunch o' mags: PC World, Maximum PC, PC Gamer, and PC Mag to name a few. I hardly ever read PC Mag. I find PC World to be a decent mag, and it's nice for me since as CTO of a small community bank, I need to stay in touch with those boring laser printer, scanner, digital camera, etc. reviews. Max PC is more my "pleasure" mag. I hardly ever read PC Gamer, but heck, it was free...

I have PC Magazine, and yeah, it does have a lot of useless stuff like printer and digital camera stuff. Also a lot of office tweaking, which I don't really care about. There is a lot of cool stuff in it though, and the Backspace section is pretty funny 🙂

I didn't mean to imply that it wasn't any good, I just don't do a whole lot of gaming anymore (3 kids, wife, job, etc. will do that to you...) so most of the info isn't that useful for me, personally.

Another vote for Maximum PC. PC Mag is ok, i'd say it's worth $2.
