Pros: Physical quality of the magazine still good, some excellent editorials, subscription cards make good firestarters
Cons: More advertisements than content, content not that great

I've been a PC World reader for at least a decade. I still have issues dating back to 1996 sitting in a closet, somewhere. I even pull them out occasionally, for a dose of nostalgia from my youth. Today's PC World, though, is far gone from what it ...

Pros: Great ratings and evaluations - helpful suggestions.
Cons: I like everything about this magazine!

I began using an old laptop in 1984 and graduated to my first new PC in 1987. (A DELL Dimension 233). Now, running a DELL 8250 with 3 HDs and a full GB of DDRAM, I know a lot more than I once did - but one thing has not changed. That is, my need to know ...

Pros: Well written articles; cutting edge reviews; digital format.
Cons: None that I see.

Pros: Thorough Reviews, Great editorials and features, Component Rankings
Cons: Alot of Ads, but this is normal in computer magazines

Pros: Better than PC Magazine for the home computer user.
Cons: Top 10 lists aimed more at Business than Home users.

This magazine always seems to be compared to PC Magazine, and usually not as favorably. I actually prefer it to PC Magazine, and this is for many reasons. One, I find their articles about new products to be a little less statistical and techie based,...

Pros: 'Real' computer magazine, not all internet, good testings
Cons: Too many ads

Here in my home country of New Zealand, PC World is the only local 'real' computer magazine. I say 'real' because there are other computer publications but they relate to the consumer internet market, and do not cater for the users who are slightly more...

Pros: Best PC magazine out there
Cons: Lots of advertising

Basics

I like PC World magazine and would recommend it to the average PC user. If you are a serious computer nerd (no offense intended), this magazine will not suit your mature needs. Likewise, the novice PC user will not pick up much...

Pros: Nice graphics
Cons: Horrible reviews and ratings

I subscribed to PC WORLD magazine for a few years, and finally gave up on the magazine because of its brain dead reviews and recommendations. I didn't renew my subscription, but couldn't rid of the magazine! Why? Because after I failed to renew it,...

Cons: ADVERTISEMENTS

PC World offers unbiased product review, new product articles, how-to tips covering everything from internet to word processing to hardware, and a top 100 guide, which rates the top ten computers, printers, monitors and more.

WHATS...

Pros: Diverse content
Cons: Ads, ads, ads

I got a subscription to this magazine for my birthday this year. So far I have been reasonably happy with what I have seen. Probably the most exciting thing is when the magazine comes in the mail because the cover is always vibrant and exclaiming some...

Pros: Good articles, educational articles, fun reviews
Cons: none

I have read many different computer magazines over the years. Some have disappeared, some tried to improve themselves (and failed) and other just kept on doing what they do best; give solid information for the general user. PC world is in the last...

Pros: Good Articles
Cons: Ads, Late

I Bought the magazine at a store and looked through it. I thought, "Hey, this seems OK." So, I purchased a subscription to this magazine about 2 years ago. It was slow in coming, of course, and it came irregularly. I was supposed to get...
