Personal Computer World Reviews

I've been a long term subscriber to this magazine since mid 1980's, so maybe I'm a little biased.... PCW covers a wide range of hardware and software from wristwatch computing all the way to the latest ASCI supercomputer. It's this breadth of coverage that I find useful, after all there is more to "Personal" computing ...

I've been a subscriber to PCW magazine for quite a few years now and the reviews have always had a big influence on the products I brought. The magazine seems to have shrunk in size compared to a few years ago mainly due to a reduction in ads, which can be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it. The ads can be useful for ...

PCW, the new name for Personal Computer WOrld, stands out as a knowledgable magazine for high end PC users and semi-professionals. Between it and PC Pro, there is not much to separate them however, I buy both each month because I find that they have strengths in different places. WHereas PC Pro is excellend for the real world computing ...

When i went to the post office the otehr day, I couldnt help noticing the crumbs on the floor. As well as this, I couldnt help noticing a PC world magazine. I picked up and flicked through the pages to find a state of the art computer for only £500. I quickly phoned up John and told him about him about it, and we both went to the store together ...

For my opinion, PcWorld is the best. It’s ok for professional and principiants users. There are technical news hard and easy; articles are good, often short. It’s best for hardware, software and internet. The column most interesting is the mail: there many users that write about pc and internet. When my pc go ...

PCW or to give it its full name Personal Computer World is another PC magazine designed for a predominantly adult market and for people who use their computers in a professional manner. The magazine contains: ~ news ~ All the latest releases and new developments in the industry. ~ columns ~ the bottom ...

I've been a subscriber to PCW for the last 3 years and i dont know what i would have done without it. It has solved many of my problems, from a formatted hard drive to teaching me about linux. The CDs or DVDs on the front are wonderful and always seem to have better software on them than other magazines. I always know I can trust the PCW team ...

I have been a long time reader and recently went on their readers members panel to comment on the new look issue. The magazine is rather regarded as the computing bible and has been around for eternity. The jury is still out on the new look, but content wise is still similar. Available in a DVD or CD-rom issue, the latter ...

For £3, you dont really expect to get much from a computer industry mag, althoughI was suprised that most of the content in the mag is impartial, and there are good freelance columnists writing about relevant issues, such as e-commerce security. The mag itself comes with a CD, with the average amount of "free" software as you would find ...

As the brief intro above says, this is the best available magazine that I've found so far. The thickness belies the amount of editorial, not just the usual telephone directory advertising that you can find in other mags. I've been reading it for a few years now, ever since I deserted the Atari platform to go the now inevitable Wintel ...

I began reading this magazine 5-6 years ago. I liked it then, as it was very accessible and easy going. It is informative and manages to covers all aspects of the computing world. The news section brings me up to date with what’s happening. The How To sections are excellent (I always turn to those pages first), useful and a joy to read. The ...

As a reader of various computer magazines over the years, I have to admit that PCW is one of my favourites, although it is quite a hefty magazine now compared to issue 1. Ironically Issue 1 mentions Gates - but not Bill Gates, no its a article about Logic Gates, ahh those were the good old days! It has always been a ...

a very good magazine, telling you about what musical equipment is about, how much it costs and what it does! you also get a free cd containing demos of music software and full versions of oder software. there are lots of adverts in the back which often advertise cheap musical equipment. overall it is a great magazine. the only disadvantage is the ...

This is thee magazine that i buy if i have a choice of any. I would only buy others if they featured a particular group test which was of great interest to me. PCW has a very thorough round up of the month's computer news. It regularly features some history or behind-the-scenes article which I also enjoy. Especially when they discuss what ...

Personal Computer World turns the big, daunting world of computers out there into a less painful experience. There are several things that ease the pain for you PC newbies! In every issue there are loads of product reviews and comparisons, each of them outlining the pros and cons of each potential purchase. All of the reviews tell you the ...

Personal Computer World is another of the Phone Book school of computer magazines. PCW features a significant number of adverts, although not to the scale of Computer Shopper. As with all the magazines of this type, the adverts are part of the attraction, allowing quick and easy price comparisons with a number of reputable and competitive ...

I wasn't really into buying and reading magazines, normally I just got them for the cover discs etc and occasionally for the features. Now I have decided that the best Computer Magazine available is quite clearly PCW! The magazine is superb value for money at just £2.99 a month. On each copy you get at least one cover CD, but ...
