Customer Rating: 
Summary: Excellent Reading
Comment: This magazine is very good for the novice to medium level computer user. Recommended for sure.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Product NOTE: For pc Enthusiast skewed toward gamers
Comment: A fun read encompassing nearly every important facet of the PC with an emphasis on performance and gaming. Yes the information they provide can be found on the internet, but the simplicity and no-nonsense approach of their reviews makes getting the information a pleasure rather than an arduous task leading to more questions than answers.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Lame
Comment: This mag is for people who think they are computer experts because they can change out a video card or follow directions on changing an OS setting.
Shallow coverage, and some of the lamest humor you will ever come across.
It is nothing more then a rehash of what is freely and easily available on the internet. There is nothing original in this mag, ever. Also it tends to copy and paste much of the issue from 12 months earlier. All the main articles are nearly the same every 12 months. Don't believe me? Take two magazines that are 12 months apart and compare them.
The reviews are also weak. nearly every month you will see: THE FASTEST SYSTEM WE EVER TESTED!!!!! YAAAAAWWWWWWNNNNN. Who cares? Anyone who knows even the slightest about computers knows that speed is not the most important attribute, even for gamers. Besides, does it really matter that system y is .00005% faster on their poor testing system then computer z?
The second star is for Mr Halfhills column. It is the only part that is consistantly interesting and the only person there with real technical know-how.
Read toms hardware and whatever tech news you want, learn how to use search engines, and skip this pointless mag.

Summary: Still best for geeks
Comment: I'v been taking this mag since it was called Boot. It still has the best overall info for builders, but they are starting to get a little trendy in their pages.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The Best Magazine for PC Enthusiasts!!
Comment: The best magazine available for PC enthusiasts, very good info on overclocking, system optimizing, OS tweaks and excellent hardware and software reviews, I look forward to each issue.

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
