Maximum PC Magazine Dead?

[Crockett12]

I googled this but couldn't find an answer. I've subscribed to Maximum PC magazine since it was called Boot. I'm not receiving the magazine any more and wondered what has happened to it. Is the magazine still in print?


Moved from P&N

boot was a great magazine way back when. really good deep dives into processors back when intel, amd, cyrix, winchip, etc., were all making x86 processors (and some risc stuff, intel had two good risc chips and amd had another), then there were the alphas and sparcs and mips (OH MY!)

I think they started writing hardware articles for PC Gamer a while back.

they shut down a little over a year ago, Gordon and some others moved over to PCworld. they still do the podcast and similar content. the yt vids are worth a view.

That's a name I haven't heard in over 10 years.

What a damn shame I was a long term subscriber for years and learn lots of useful stuff from that magazine.

I just saw a Feb 2019 issue on-line. Maybe the last one?

Gordon Mah Ung has been at PC World since Nov.2014.

Was just noticing that I hadn't received the latest issue. I told the wife to not renew Cycle World and I was thinking maybe she mixed it up and didn't renew Max PC.

I thought I told the wife not to renew Playboy but I was thinking maybe she mixed it up and didn`t renew the Max PC!

Hey I wouldn't mind having a subscription to something like Maximum PC.

 

[Muadib]

I have a digital subscription to Maximum PC, that I read on my tablet. They still have a printed version too.

Then you could read about new tech products...6 months after they are released.

I subscribe to several print magazines The Family Handyman, The Atlantic , and Popular Mechanics. For some reason I like the feel of the paper in between my hands when I'm dropping a deuce. Another bonus is that I don't have to worry about my phone falling in the shitter or on the bathroom floor.

Here's another question: is there any computer magazine left that's worth reading? Some 15 years ago I used to read Maximum PC, PC World, PC Magazine... they either died or turned into shadows of their former selves.

I can't even think of a website worth reading - and I don't mean for news, but in-depth stuff, industry analyses and so on. Even editorials were fun, regardless of whether you agreed with them or not.

Saw these at the local library. Borrowed the Jan and Feb issues. And yes, I still prefer the printed magazines.
