Editorial Reviews:
|
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

Summary: Why not same quality delivery as from Apple?
Comment: 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.

Summary: Very cool content, a must for all mac users
Comment: 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.

Summary: Takes a long time to receive first issue
Comment: I like the magazine but it took almost 12 weeks to receive the thing only after sending an 'nice' email to amazon.
Customer Rating:
Summary: ordered 2 months ago and still have not received one issue
Comment: Ordered two months ago and still have not received a issue yet. Wonder if I will? Did not take two months for the bill to come? Wow!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Mag - high renewal cost
Comment: Macworld magazine has helpful information on Macs, software, Apple products and products made by other companies that are used with Macs such as printers, scanners, etc. The articles are not as in-depth as they were in the past. (I have read every issue ever published) The magazine also has less pages than in the past.
They give an overview of hardware and software and some helpful tips plus news about what is happening at Apple Corp.
A few months before your subcription ends, you will receive a renewal notice. You will be surprised to find that the renewal price is about twice as much as the original subscription price. Of course, you can start a new subscription at the lower price. But then you might miss an issue. Or you might get two issues one month and then you will only have 11 magazines from your new subscription.
Macworld should take a lesson from Wired Magazine and realize that it is possible to have a large magazine with lots of in-depth articles and a low subscription price. Hint: It is called advertising space.
