Product Description MAXIMUM PC is the ultimate upgrade for the savvy PC owners. Every month, the magazine is packed with breaking news, tons of tips & techniques, and the most in-depth reviews anywhere.
Amazon.com Review Designed for the rabid PC hobbyist, Maximum PC brings tons of news and reviews written in an irreverent, edgy style. Full disclosure is the modus operandi here, and there's an almost overwhelming amount of tech specs and features for each product that's discussed, tweaked, stretched, shaken, and stirred. Whether you want to upgrade your CPU or compare the newest motherboards and graphics cards, Maximum PC is a great resource for all your PC computing needs. --Michael Lewis

MaximumPC Mag Review July 26, 2010 BrentSpink The "Maximum PC magazine" [...] is a good source for well written and current reviews of tech products and computer related gear. "Maximum PC" contains a good mixture of graded reviews and staff editorials which keeps me interested and informed. The price of my 2 year subscription was cheap and I feel that I received a good deal. We will see however if there are any of the normal underhanded "automatic-renewal" subscription tactics in practice when my paid 2 years have elapsed. So far - so good. Keep up the good work Amazon. -Brent
Beware ! July 2, 2010 Brian Bouler 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Magazine is great however, you cannot order it with the CD thru Amazon.com. It shows a magazine with a CD inside but after days of going back and forth between amazon and future my only option was to pay extra to future to get the item i ordered thru amazon. Amazon's customer service does nothing to help you but refer u to the magazine provider even tho the issue is strictly their choice to defraud its customers.
Magazines still have a place in the world. Expecially this one. June 24, 2010 E. Franchuk (Bay Area, CA USA) The best tech magazine out there. I've been a subscriber for years.
They have a great website to supplement the magazine too.
Amazon has great deals on this magazine too.
Many Staff Cuts have reduced its past excellence June 22, 2010 09 xboxhelper (bgr, me usa) I truely understand that magazines need to embrase the internet but to remove the favourite sections from the magazine (and flip-flop) resorting to us to visit their site defeats the purpose of me in particular of purchasing this mag which has grown ever moreso in this mentality the past 3 years. Worst of all is when writers ask for help about their PC problems and either due the the former "Doc" being portreying by a new one anwering his inability to log into the internet with a classic (Maximum PC style answer) please use our tiny url to get the full details on how to help the poor fellow.
I couldn't wait to get this magazine as it would give honest reviews time and time again til what I think the economy caused a more reserved and more choppy looking layout and what appears like more intern work. I went so far as to find errors on a magazine that featured "x" amount of unheard of apps you must not live without and just by whoever approved it, it was my last magazine I ever read. Almost like the magazine became noting more than bowing down to each company with the exception of a few bad apples that were just too bad to seriously give a good review.
Another thing is that I know of a lot of people who are current subscribers to this MP, and even they get a laugh at all the repeated stories/tutorials shown in such great detail but forgetting some of the most crutial factors. Some of the the ones off the top of my head that seemed to read well eventually completely skipped like actually burn a dvd via a chosen suite. It focused on rather large 'OK' buttons, random option, and yet reading it time and time again, the "how to burn a dvd" other than what options are never unveiled to the reader.
I wish the days of a rare 11 rating came along or really give a reason to purchase the magazine instead of the website as I am all for magazine support (when tiny url's themselves is a great debate in security alone). Or having to rip out 20 consecutive pages for One advertisement in one wallop for a major web hosting company. One last thing, regarding the Mag, loves to assume "I" am the one on products I can't live without- if I were still in 8th or 9th grade when the gread editors slowly left the company...
Subscription without CD ???? June 21, 2010 Zanocchi Garcia Mario (URUGUAY, South America) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
One of the main attractions of the magazine "Maximum PC" is the bundled CD with demos programs, freeware and utilities. I just received the first issue of my suscription and I notice with great disappointment that comes without the disc. In case the subscription offered by Amazon not include the disc, Amazon must have clearly informed. I feel cheated for a year and then will cancel the subscription.
