 A Real Surprise!, 2003-11-07
MaximumPC wasn't my choice. It was sent to me uninvited to complete a subscription I had for a magazine that went defunct. On top of that, I have only a passing interest in PC's; I am certainly not a technician, nor am I an avid gamer. To complete the disconnect, I am 59 years old. With that background, you might be surprised to learn that I look forward to receiving each issue. So was I.
It's hard to put a finger on what makes this magazine so appealing to someone like me. First I like the style. Other reviewrs have described it as edgy, but I think of it as fun and accessible. I have ever read any other PC book or magazine that I would describe as anything even close to fun, but this one definately is. Secondly, it has fascinating hardware articles that are incredibly clear and understandable. I have learned more about video cards, memory types, and processors than I ever thought I would want to learn, all while being entertained. I have to admit that the article on building your own super PC made me want to do just that, although I would opt for the budget version, which they also included in the article. Finally, the software reviews are first class, honest, and hardhitting. They are written by avid, unabashed gamers, and they are not shy about calling a toad a toad. I have used their reviews to buy christmas and birthday gifts and have never been disappointed.
This magazine is one of those rare combinations of information and entertainment. I read it cover to cover each month, usually smiling most of the way. Needless to say, I renewed my subscription.

Maximum Greatness, 2003-10-30
Ok, lets review... honest reviews of cutting edge computing with witty comments. Not only is Maximum PC smart and fun to read, but it very informative. The topics range for "all" types of computer user readers. I have been a reader/subscriber since it was "Boot" magazine back in the 1990's! Keep up the great work!

 For the ultra nerd, 2003-09-19
Maximum PC is a PC magazine with an attitude. It's a rather slim magazine, with each issue averaging 110 pages, including ads. The emphasis is on opening up your PC's chassis and mudding around. There's also a monthly back page devoted to modding. As a PC user I have mixed feelings about the magazine. I'm not a diehard nerd (even though I can be a qualified technician as well as programmer), so I don't find the incessant coverage on upgrading and modding very interesting. The website is also a joke, not being able to offer a nice online complement to the print magazine. On the other hand, the content is not stale like with PC Mag and (gasp!) PC World, and some of the articles can be fun to read. The upshot is, this is worth subscribing to; it's just not the "idea" PC mag I expected to be.
