Maximum PC - A Kick [bottom]Product!

This is the best computer magazine out there, bar none, and I say this for many reasons, most of have already been stated. Most PC magazines cover what the masses are buying, but its largely useless information on stuff no one wants to read about over and over again. Buy one at the news stand if you're in the market for a normal pre-built and sign up for the PC World news letter. That way you can learn about all the new advances for a lot less money (free.)

Max PC doesn't talk about run-of-the-mill stuff, it talks about the cutting edge of what is available NOW. Not what is being developed, not what has been out long enough to be affordable to everyone, but what is brand-spanking new. This is what the people that subscribe to computer magizines are looking for.

They also have the most useful, complete, to the point reviews I have ever seen. And most importantly, they have lots of information about what any true computer enthusiest either does, or wants to do: build your own machine. This is agumented by a very good segment called "Ask the Doctor" that answers questions about computers, much like most good car mags.

In short, they have about everything the non-business computer fiend would want, and almost nothing they wouldn't.

The only one out there!

I started reading this magazine from the very beginning. It was in its second year of publication, and I was, and still am, a very big Power User. I got this magazine, and it encoruaged me to buy PC Gamer as well. I have had lots of fun with this magazine:

To begin, this mag is funny. Just like PC Gamer, you get the same, funny, and high spirited reviews. They are all very helpful, and like others have mentioned, this is the only hardcore PC magazine around. I have written reviews about PC World, giving it bad reviews because the fact is, it won't give the content that MaxPC will. Will you EVER see an article about WATER COOLING in a PC World mag? No way! But in MaxPC, that was what the cover story was for its last issue. This mag actually TELLS YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR COMPUTER! You will see motherboard reviews, CPU reviews, graphics card reviews, case modding guides, PC fix-it guides, overclocking guides, the information is endless and informative. Forget PC World. They are dumb and they can't produce ANYTHING that MaxPC can!

Excellent magazine

I like to read Maximum PC to keep up with the latest in the market. There are few magazines that are still true to this. I can always find the latest info and tech in this magazine.

Also, if you're a tech or business nerd the perfect book is now out for you. It's called the System by Roy Valentine and it was clearly written for nerds by an ingenious nerd. The book is clearly a step by step business process on how to get girls - and most surprisingly It Works! (I've just completed the R&D after getting my copy on amazon.com). Get a copy and you won't regret it.
