PC World Magazine Review

Electronics and the world of high tech in general have exploded in popularity and most everyone owns at least one personal computer uses many different electronics devices. One magazine that keeps its readers ahead in the race for finding the latest and greatest electronics products is PC World, a magazine about personal computers and a whole lot more.

Magazine Commentary:

PC World Magazine is one of the best publications of its kind and it's a magazine I have been reading for many years. It has much to offer the electronics enthusiast each month and it is one of a handful of magazines that are good enough to read most of the articles in each issue. I think I speak for most people when I say that I usually read only a fraction of most of the magazines that make their way into my hands. Not only do I not have time to indulge in lengthy magazine reading, I also have little interest in many of the departments and longer articles in most magazines.

But PC World is different. I like most of the monthly departments and I read through most of them in each issue. Even the opening section, Techlog, often has something useful to read; in direct contrast to most magazines that have nothing important to say in the editor's opener. The do- it- yourself fix it sessions are also quite helpful. I have found many answers to common problems in the Hassle Free PC section and in the individual "tips" sections found in every issue.

Among the different sections of PC World, the one I look forward to most of all is the reviews section. Even when I have no interest in buying a specific product, I still like to look at the reviews, not only to find out about new products and how they stack up, but also to see if there are any products mentioned that I currently own/use so I can evaluate PC World's review.

If you think PC World is strictly a magazine about computers, monitors, and printers, think again. This magazine, in spite of its name, is much more than a publication about computers. It talks about many different types of electronics in every issue, with reviews and information on things like DVD players, CD players, cell phones, digital cameras and more. If it plugs in and is considered a work of technology, there is a good chance PC World will talk about it.

Bottom Line Viewpoint:

Overall, PC World ranks as one of my favorite computer/electronic magazines and it is one of the few publications that holds my interest all the way through. The writing is intelligent without getting too technical and the reviews, monthly departments, and other areas are all top- notch, making PC World a very good choice of reading material.
