Realistic Solutions for the Internet World

by Bonies7 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 23 '99
Pros: Great columnists coupled with top notch reviews
Cons: Lots of ads...like every computing magazine out there
Are you considered the "Alpha Geek" in your office...or among your circle of friends? Can you talk about benchmark scores like a stockbroker can talk about P-E ratios? Well...then this magazine is probably NOT for you.

But, if...

A Good Mag Gone Bad

by jshears , Mar 21 '00
Pros: Good Info for Business Market
Cons: Ignores Home Computer User
In December, 1999, PC Computing magazine took a great format and destroyed it for all, except business users. PC Computing used to be one of my favorite monthly mags, but the progression to a practical application mag for business users has alienated...

Putting the "Personal" back in Personal Computers

by leolion1 , Dec 29 '99
Pros: Comprehensive product comparisons, informative editorials and articles, helpful "how-to's"
Cons: A bit more advertising than I think necessary, but if that keeps the subscription rate low, heck..I'll live
With a new computer magazine popping up on the newsstand practically every 30 seconds, it's nice to have one that takes the "no bones about it" approach to telling you what you really want to know.

With it's insightful editorials,...

B...A...D! BAD!!

by tylerh , Feb 11 '00
Pros: Great new format, up to date information
Cons: Lots, and lots, and lots of ads.
I wouldn't say that I'm one of those guys that are entertained easily. Or maybe I am if I should find a computer magazine entertaining...but it takes a lot for me to not like something. And I don't like this magazine.

Sure, it started out...

PC Computing - FOR BUSINESS!

by modelcar , Mar 30 '00
Pros: Lots of nuggets for running a business
Cons: Still finding it's legs after a re-design
This mag will soon change their name to SMART BUSINESS. Note that most of the 1 star reviewers are unhappy about the change. That's understandable, especially if they have lost a resource. But competition forces change, and PC computing is leaving the...

Incredibly bland & Microsoft/Wintel-centric

by wcone , Mar 06 '00
Pros: Some good reviews & recommendations
Cons: Not worth paying for...
I recently cancelled my subscription to PC Computing when it became painfully obvious that the magazine lacked the depth and breadth I expect in a computer-industry magazine. Overwhelmingly geared toward the novice-to-intermediate Microsoft Wintel PC...

A solid magazine (UPDATE - now a new mag)

by kurt_h Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 23 '99
Pros: One of the best
Cons: None
In the realm of my hardcopy reading PC COMPUTING stands up with the best of them. Great articles for the home/hobbyist, a forward thinking editorial board and a good look at what is hot in the industry. The traveling business user should really enjoy...

by psimon Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 03 '00
Pros: Good if you own a small business
Cons: Not good if you don't own a small business
I used to subscribe to PC Computing. I used to like the magazine. It used to cover all sorts of topics of interest to the general computer user. The operative words in both those statements was USED TO.

PC Computing has changed direction and...

PC computing still isn't as good as Epinions

by stefanb , Nov 03 '99
Pros: Still has good features and columns.
Cons: No need to pay for reviews - you can get them on the net.
PC Computing as long been a standard 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.

From bong to boardroom

by Windowphobe , Jan 10 '00
Pros: Still occasional flashes of wit
Cons: No discernible interest for home users
Once upon a time, there was a magazine called PC/Computing, with a slash embedded in its name. It was a fiery, feisty, take-no-prisoners kind of magazine, apt to say almost anything and hang the consequences. Perceiving, quite correctly, that...

Run of the Mill

by fixx420 , Jan 03 '00
Pros: Great software reviews, easy to understand
Cons: Not for tech heads
PCC is perfectly mediocre. I had a 3 year subscription and found it to be a good, but not great magazine.

PCC has articles and reviews that are well written and easy to understand. No, this mag isn't for hardcore techies, you want MaximumPC....

PC Computing

by rea , Dec 20 '99
Pros: PcComputing contains very good articles and great help with different software programs
Cons: To much advertising for the price. It seems 90% of the magazine is ads, but that is the case with most computer magazines.


I have gotten lot a help from reading Pc Computing. It is especially helpful with articles about Windows and internet programs like Internet explorer, Netscape. One I especially liked was on the different email programs and how to get the...

About to go through changes (for the better?)

by westlogger , May 09 '00
Pros: Reviews every type of product a computer user needs
Cons: New direction is targeted at different type of reader
After checking out all the computer magazines on the newsstand, PC Computing was one of only two that I thought well enough of to subscribe to. Therefore, I am somewhat concerned about what other changes they have in store after already having changed...
