Not a serious magazine May 27, 2003 Gadgester (New York) 22 out of 28 found this review helpful
Laptop Mag can be best described negatively: it's not a really serious computer magazine. It's more or less like Consumer Guide, which is basically paid advertising. This means you can't really trust the article here because you don't know if they are not written by unbiased writers. In the end, I feel this is a waste of money. Besides, you can get all the info for free on the web, from CNET or ZDNET, anyway.
Informercials in a magazine binding August 21, 2003 Jim Carson (Bellevue, WA) 16 out of 22 found this review helpful
Laptop Magazine focuses on laptops, PDAs, and wireless computing. Laptop Magazine seems like it's trying to be both technical and exciting; however it lacks the objectivity of PC Magazine and the deep enthusiasm of Wired. Thus, it reads like a series of infomercials where each "article" paints a rose-colored view of each technology and the vendors products followed by paid ads of the same vendors portrayed so happily in the text. Their conclusions all seem predetermined: new technology is better.
LAPTOP is incredibly helpful... February 1, 2002 12 out of 24 found this review helpful
This is the magazine to read regularly! It covers all kinds of mobile gear and offers lots of good advice on the latest products and technologies. Of particular interest to me are the articles on wireless, handhelds and the notebook reviews. Check it out for yourself!
Good enough December 13, 2003 S. S. (Ohio) 10 out of 13 found this review helpful
And while this magazine doesn't go into great depth on to which products are the best (you could call it indirect advertising), it does one important job. It introduces you to the newest products and what's out there. Think about it, where the heck am I going to look on the net for new cell phones that haven't come out yet? I'd have to search forever and at multiple websites. With laptop mag, I look at all the things that I've never seen before and then look them up on the net (isn't that what internet is for?). It's a great resource for seeing some of the latest products. The user needs to do thier own homework and make a researched decision about the product. Finally, when looking at electronics, I like advertising. It's another way to get either new ideas on products you never thought or if you want to buy something, it's easier to locate with an advertisement.
Excellent Source of Mobile Product Information November 11, 2005 Patrick S. Pope (Chicago, IL) 7 out of 9 found this review helpful
Laptop Magazine is an excellent resource for the mobile professional. The staff has done a great job of reviewing products relevant to those individuals attached to their laptops and related gadgets. Despite the name, the magazine is not merely about laptops but also the tools and strategies for the peripatetic white-collar worker. With information on laptops, mobile phones, hotels and airlines, Laptop Magazine is loaded with great insights. Its layout is excellent as it appears far less cluttered than other computer magazines - much like how the Harvard Business Review differs from Star Magazine. Yet, it is a bit light on specific computer tasks and tweaking. This may be due to the demographic of the audience, which is most likely a collection of mid-level executives and sales professionals instead of hands-on technology gurus. As such, the magazine is well worth the read as it will certainly save time with your work, travel, and technology purchases in the future. Pros: Excellent product information Great organization and layout Cons Light on nuts and bolts computer technology No concise source of the laptop reviews (i.e. like Motor Trend has a summary of tests with dates and results with every magazine).
