Maximum PC (1-year) 
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.
Customer Ratings: - good newsand reviews. in the first issue I learned about obscure web sites, how to use google better, and read up on the latest hardware. Lots of good info to be had especially for gamers
- Over The Top. I enjoy Maximum PC, but must admit, I am no power user or home builder. I enjoy the reviews of various items and products and if you can find this on sale at Amazon.com, it is definitely the cheapest price you ll find.
- Not for IT enthusiests.. This magazine is worthless for those looking to learn anything. If you are looking for paid advertising for i7 processors and the systems they are sold in, so you can play games, then you will enjoy it.
- Great Magazine. It s not often you find something that is both a reliable resource and and entertaining read at the same time, but Maximum PC nails it on both fronts. Despite the constantly evolving state of computer technology, back issues of this mag have reserved space on my bookshelf for those times when I run into a problem I can t immediately solve or am looking for a free app or website to suit a certain need.
Each issue contains a plethora of reviews, news, tips, and how-tos. Whether you re building from scratch on a budget, want a review of the latest and greatest ready-made system, or trying to plan an upgrade, they have something for you. In addition you might find an article on the latest, most-addicting games on the web, a round-up of the best free anti-virus programs available for download, a layman-friendly summary of current legal issues in regards to file sharing, or the results of a test to see just how physically durable today s hard drives are. Which they really did, by the way - the cover picture was epic.
Meanwhile, all of this is done with a sense of humor, a strong eye for the end-user (with a care towards varying levels of experience), and not a hint of condescension. - A long wait time. Just FYI - I just ordered this through Amazon and the estimated date is May 15 to June 20th that I will receive my first issue. If you want to wait 3-4 months until your first issue will arrive than be my guest and order it through Amazon. I would suggest going through the magazine website to order your magazine and it probably will be a shorter wait time. Gets one star since I was not warned this prior to ordering. It stated pre-ordering it would take 3-6 weeks not 3-4 months. Amazon is cool though but I am impatient and I want my stuff now!
