Average Rating: Rating: - Informative Although there are very few magazines that I can sit down and read cover to cover, PC World has always been one of the magazines that completely captures my interest. I think that the magazine's diverse subject matter is it's most powerful asset because every month, without fail, there is always an article that is useful to me in some way or another. Many other computing magazines provide news and product reviews, but PC World is always concerned with improving the day-to-day computing experience of all of its readers. PC World's editorials are often the most helpful pieces. Editorial Director Kevin McKean begins each month's issue with a column called "Up Front," which always covers new things in the magazine or recent computing trends. Another editorial called "Consumer Watch" usually touches on the importance of privacy by tracking down recent cases of fraud and gives the reader advice on ways to "stay safe" while using his or her computer. The "Web Savvy" column highlights new and exciting developments on the Internet, and Steve Bass' "Home Office" editorial always contains helpful information intended to increase productivity while decreasing the reader's stress and confusion (for example, a recent column talked about how to combat junk e-mail). The "Bugs and Fixes" column covers the latest updates and patches to some of the better-known software in the industry. My favorite editorial, however, is Stephen Manes' "Full Disclosure," which never fails to contain insightful remarks about pressing issues in the industry. In addition to these editorials, PC World also has sections for letters, news and trends, cover stories, new products, "how to," and the "top 100," which is a ranking of the best hardware currently on the market that has positively influenced my purchasing decisions in the past. I feel that the magazine is very well rounded and it certainly appeals to a diverse readership; anyone that uses a computer is sure to find this magazine useful. Therefore, I encourage all computer users to subscribe to PC World -- it's informative, interesting, and sure can save you a lot of time and money by making you knowledgeable about one of the most useful tools in the home and in the workplace. Rating: - Like it says, "Technology Advice You Can Trust"... PC World has a Top 100 section which rates and highlights the best home computers, scanners, digicams, power pcs, monitors and laptops and the like for those who make a mental wish list and who love window shopping. It does stories and features like who has the best CD-RW drives and what's included on them, and like which computer store or electronics company has the best customer services...all so the consumer can get the best deals for the best price. The design and graphics are attractive. It also has a nice How To Section, tips on working software and games, internet downloads which make life easier and fuller, and other upgrade info. PC World is a magazine which definitely holds my interest with it's easy to follow reports and down to earth writing style: it also has enough of the technical lingo for those who are 'really' into the technical lingo stuff. However, when the lingo gets a little dense and specific, a thumbnail glossary pops up now and then to help the reader out. It is a good mag if you love your computer, you love anything to do with computers or you want to learn more about computers.... Rating: - Newbie-ish I have read PC World on and off for a while. All that I can say is that PC World is VERY newbish. This Mag talks about how dells are the best, which are the best pc manufacturers, etc. It never talks about the best motherboards, best Graphics cards, etc. If you dont KNOW A LOT about computers, then this may be an alright subscription, but I highly doubt it. If you need to know which is the best PC around, then you need only to buy ONE issue, not an entire subscription. Also, if PC World were good, they would know that building your PC is the best way to go, and they don't even give a hoot about hardcore companies like Voodoo and Alienware, so they never talk about the high end systems. They just go trotting around, talking about their inky dinky dells. Trust me folks, PC World is nothing but a newbie magazine. No where in this magazine will they tell you how to build a computer, or which motherboard to buy and why, or even which HARDCORE computer to buy. No, all they talk about are their little business junk PCs that we call Dells, Gateways, Compaqs, and HPs.
