Pros: Well written articles; cutting edge reviews; digital format. Cons: None that I see.
The world of computers is ever changing (be it personal or business / corporate) and I do mean ever. I own my own small (part-time) computer consulting concern and I have a small but growing list of clients, most of which are small businesses like men, ...
Pros: The reviews; The overall experience Cons: None, except maybe that it's hard to find it offered at reduced price.
Electronics and the world of high tech in general have exploded in popularity during the past couple of decades. Most people either own a pc or have access to one and advancements in other technologies have led many to discover new and better ways to ...
Being a Geek Wannabe, I strive to play "catch-up" with technology because, when I was in college, computer courses were limited to "Keypunch Operation"...and, yes, aren't the local Want Ads just full of job openings for...
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: Excellent articles, very informative Cons: The magazine is available free on the web
I received in yesterday’s mail delivery my subscription renewal for PC World. I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to review the product myself and decide whether or not to continue the subscription.
Pros: PC World: poor articles, c't: the best Cons: c't is not available in printing here in the US :-(
Actually, I could as well have titled it:
PC Magazine against c't.
What is c't?
c't = computer technology is a German magazine, and I wish, I really wish, they would decide to bring out an English version. They would sweep the market...
Pros: Thorough Reviews, Great editorials and features, Component Rankings Cons: Alot of Ads, but this is normal in computer magazines
Being an avid computer user, I always needed a source for computer information. Since I stare at a computer screen for many hours a day, I rather a printed source than going to a website. (PC World does have a lot of the information on its website,...
Pros: Big info Cons: not catcy title, kind of hard to understand
When I first saw the words "free magazine" of the internet as I was surfing. I immediately signed up and tried 1 magazine and see how it was like. But when they first sent 1st magaizine they also gave me a bill with that. At first I didn't know...
Pros: Top notch articles Cons: Way too many ads for my tastes, weighs about 3 pounds
Several years ago, I started getting PC World on a regular basis through the mail. At first, this was a pretty neat thing to do because I was constantly looking out for the new addition to my home computer system. But as I am now nearing a point...
Every now and then when I want to get a look at where computers are and how they're coming along I buy an issue of PC World. I don't buy enough to where it would save me money to just order a subscription. My dad always used to buy this magazine which is...
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: wide ranging articles, not too technical Cons: they don't really standout from their competition
While I don't consider myself a computer geek I do manage to use one competently and not get all the keys confused. PC World is just about right for my competence level. They use lots of geeky compu-terms but they also take the time to explain them....
Pros: Easy to understand,written for the average user Cons: Plenty of ads(were used to them)
I purchased a subscription to the computer magazine PC World, in which I am very happy with. This magazine is written for the average computer user. It is easy to understand without the usual "geek" lingo. PC world magazine has a lot of helpful...
Pros: Excellent reviews and information. Easy to understand for the beginner or the expert Cons: The name Dell will forever be plastered in my memory, Does not cover gaming to any degree
As I was sitting at my desk one afternoon leisurely repairing a bad motherboard, I thought to myself, "Why don't I have any PC magazines? I am a hardware technician after all". I decided to head over to the local computer haven and see what...
Pros: Loads of useful Information; comparison testing of hardware Cons: Uneven; Primarily for businesspeople
I got my first year's subscription to this magazine for free (well, some frequent flyer miles, actually). I enjoyed it so much that I renewed for 2 more years. More recently I changed my mind and stopped my subscription.
Pros: Great for an intermediate user who actually likes computers! Cons: Subscription Price
I've been into computers for years, (started with an Atari 800!) knowing more than perhaps the average user, but a lot less than the pros. About a year ago, I got interested in purchasing a more powerful pc, and came across PC World. I had researched...
This magazine is very useful on all levels of computer users. Some of the best things that I like about it are the monthly question forum. People like you and me ask questions to computer tech people and they respond and tell about the problem and what...
Pros: Good use of color Cons: Bad columns and features, and you can find reviews on the internet
PC World has long been a major fixture in the print media world of computers. It contains many reviews of the newest hardware and software, as well as previews of upcoming similar gadgets, a variety of columns, and some well written feature articles. ...
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: wide ranges of articles, good for most PC users Cons: hardcore techies may want more
I've seen lots of PC magazines that have the same "exclusive: how to get free stuff on the internet!" article every 6 months. Fortunately, PC World (PCW) isn't one of them.
Flip through the magazine, and you'll get to the news pages....
Pros: Wide range of coverage Cons: Too often lacks depth
PC World has a difficult row to hoe. It's not really a magazine for novices, it's not tech-y enough for the True Nerds who actually make this stuff work, it lacks the snarky wit of its rivals at Ziff-Davis, and often as not, the only really...
Pros: Very Insightful Reviews; Interesting To Read Cons: Only a PC Magazine
Look, 7 years ago, I knew nothing about a computer. Basically, one day, I heard a about a computer, and I sounded like a cool idea. So I picked up this magazine, PC World. It told me everything I needed to know about computers, software, hardware,...
Pros: Unbiased reviews, Top 100, New Product Guide, Top News Articles, How-To Advice 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.
Pros: 65% of subscriptions or higher...occasionally has good articles Cons: Overload of sponsers ads, highly incomplete information especially about hardware and OS
I was offered a free trial subscription to PC World, by them. As the owner of a web presence provider company, its good business to keep abreast of such things (plus, I'm a mild computer geek myself), so I gave it a shot. Two issues later, I've...
Pros: price, CD-ROM, magazine, value for money Cons: ummm.....
Some people might think that computer magazines are for computer geeks and that if you tried to read them you wouldn't understand a word. Well, lets get things straight. Computer magazines are not easy to read but that does not make them impossible to...
Pros: Tips and News on new products Cons: Silly top 10 lists.
As others have said, PC World is not a pocket-protected geek-fest (not that there's anything wrong with that), nor is it filed under (fill in the blank) For Dummies. PC World treats their readers like they have operated a computer more than twice, but...
Pros: Fairly good general PC mag Cons: Too many ads, not for the hardcore computer nerd
PC World, is a general PC mag with some articles about computer related news, short editorials and reviews of various computer products, including computers from various vendors.

Pros: Cheap. Less than $20 for 12 issues Cons: Not up to date with reviews
Should you buy PC WORLD? Well, let's see, the magazine does offer some good tips and tricks on how to improve system performance. But based on overall content, this magazine is so so. Always behind in reviews, for example, when the g-force video card...
Pros: None Cons: Too complicated for the ordinary folk

Pros: Well written, great product comparison format, easier to read than most PC magazines Cons: Too many ads, but that's true of all of them.
As a computer teacher at the middle school level, I subscribe to PC World for several reasons. Since I am on the school district committee that reviews and recommends technology equipment purchase, it is important for me to keep informed on current...
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: Great Magazine has alot of information Cons: Costs alittle more but it is worth it.
PC World magazine is a great,it tells you what kind of computers to buy, and also is very informative on telling you the ones that are not so good. Has alot of information about games also, which are appropriate for each age and child. Also has...
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 ...
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...
I started getting PC World for free as part of an offer to give up unused frequent flyer miles, or I would never subscribe to this magazine after seeing the first issue. From my viewpoint, it is useful only for someone who is constantly buying and...
Pros: Well written, informative articles w/a minnimum of jargon. Cons: Maybe not real helpful for the professional
90% of everything I've ever known about computers I have learned from PC World. I have found that PC World is clear, concise and informative. The writers make sense of an industry that you can get lost in very easily. They explain trends and publish...

PC World mag is a good choice for begginer and novice computer users alike.Their website at:www.pcworld.com has very many useful links and articles including but not limited to:FILEWORLD,REVIEWS,TIPWORLD and HOW TO.
Being the computer novice that I...
Pros: Nice graphics Cons: Horrible reviews and ratings

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

Pros: Excellent article selection. Easy to understand. Cons: Not cheap. Sometimes assumes you understand every term they use.
I currently subscribe to PC World and PC Magazine. PC World is the better of the two for most people in my opinion because it addresses subjects that appeals more to the home user and less to the technical wonks who like lots of numbers and articles...
Pros: Best computer magazine on the market. Cons: Too many repetitive ads
I have subscribed to PC World for a number of years, and simply feel that it is the magazine to have, if you have anything to do with a computer. I also had subscribed to Windows magazine, and can see now why it is no longer published. PC World has...
Pros: Colorful, attractive, covers information for any level or knowledge of computers. Cons: Sometimes the writers are a litter one sided.

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: useful Cons: the web site has all the info the magazine does
Don't get me wrong I am not saying that I don't like this magazine I am going to say that they need to maybe withhold a little information on their web site. I can find the exact same information on the web site that I can in the magazine and not have to...

Pros: Solid magazine Cons: Doesn't differntiate itself from the rest of the pack

Since subscribing, I have used the knowledge gained from...
As a subscriber to PC World, I can't begin to tell you about the wealth of information that is contained in each issue. From the product reviews and comparisions to the articles contained in each issue, I can't wait to receive the magazine in the mail...
Pros: Articles Cons: price per issue, subscription is the way to go

Pros: Some decent articles, nice pictures, glitzy cover .. Cons: 1) Contributors not checked for accuracy. 2) Advertisers may have poor ratings for certain products ..
There is no such thing a plain computer magazine .. at least not from "PC World". In between about 70% advertising content, you have a plethora of subjects .. ranging from cameras to GPS to cell phones, etc. I am not renewing my subscription.
Emails to them challenging article content are ignored.
Simply stated it is serioulsy overpriced and the malarkey about subscription savings is just that .. the outageous "Newstand price" of about $7 creates the advertised 76% savings for a subcrition price of of about $1.66 per issue
