Amazon.com Review
Many magazines devoted to Macintosh computing have come and gone over the years, but Macworld has aged gracefully and become the premier resource for news, reviews, tips, and chatter for the Apple crowd. But far from being a stale grande dame, Macworld continues to pepper its articles and monthly columns by Andy Ihnatko and Christopher Breen with zest, humor, and unbiased viewpoints. The magazine also regularly attracts some of the best writers in the Mac universe, including Photoshop and prepress wizard Bruce Fraser, Quark guru David Blatner, and Adam Engst, editor of the popular TidBits e-newsletter. Their insight and invaluable step-by-step tips help you get the most out of your Mac. But Macworld's bread and butter comes from its heaping helping of reviews on the latest hardware systems, software, monitors, add-on gadgets, and more. They cut to the chase without a lot of fluff, offering review summaries with pros and cons, buying advice, and a rating scale of one to five mice (computer mice, that is). --Agen G.N. Schmitz

3 out of 5 stars informative, but cheap looking   September 14, 2008
Jana Ciglerova (prague, czech rep)
I love macs so I wanted to know more about them and the products that go with them and enhance their outcome. For this, Macworld is great. Articles about current issues, advices on additional functions, reviews, tips and recommendations. But the magazine feels cheap, with very thin paper and many ads which are small formats and make the pages look mess. It was a bit of visual disappointment I must admit.

Excellent magazine. I've had a subscription for a couple of years now. Great how to articles, reviews, and the latest mac news. The macworld website is also a great resource.
Amazon offered a far better price for a 1 year subscription than the price of renewing through macworld.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Mac Resource   August 9, 2008
Gary Anderson (Albuquerque, NM, USA)
If you own an Apple Mac Computer or iPhone then you must have this companion product.

Very useful articles and information.



1 out of 5 stars Why not same quality delivery as from Apple?   June 15, 2008

One has to wonder why a great magazine such as MacWorld cannot ship their first subscription issue *immediately* and what actually happens during the eternity between ordering a subscription on Amazon and receiving the first issue in the mail. When you consider that the entire infrastructure is electronic (order goes in at Amazon and Amazon notifies (electronically?) Subscription Dept. at MacWorld and email lands in an inbox, read on a Mac and then what? Do they print emails and stack them in a pile for someone who "doesn't do email" or the entire thing just sits in the inbox for months on end until someone goes "let's do a batch of subscription this weekend. order some pizza."

I am honestly curious about this. Why such horrendous delays? Why not deliver first issue(s) electronically (PDF?) until print issues start arriving?

One star for this experience. Magazine is great but for now I am going to browse it in the bookstore until delivery times improve.



5 out of 5 stars Very cool content, a must for all mac users   May 31, 2008
Edward Lucero (California)
It's Mac. If you can take 100% mac stuff, and want to have tips, how-tos, and other insights, this is a great magazine. I learned a lot without having to go through 15mn of tutorials on the apple website.
