Hello everybody! I'm new to the forums and to Mac in general.

I want to subscribe to a Mac-related magazine, but I have no idea which one is the best (or at least a good one)

I'm considering either MacWorld or MacAddict.

Can any of you give me your opinion? Which is the better one?

Thank you in advance!

I personally prefer MacWorld. Its content seems to address the needs of both New users and the Profis. However you can also get annoyed by the large amount of Ads.

If you have access to internet, there are plenty of online resources, which are more actual and interactive. Therefore I choosed to subscribe to some Mac News sites and I will get all the actual news before MacWorld publish them.

I'm biased, but I think iCreate is a great magazine. Future Publishing's mags fromt he UK are, IMO, generally the best quality Mac magazines on the market.

I've given up on Mac Magazines. I still occasionally buy an issue of iCreate, but not very often....

I too was in a similar situation and I chose to subscribe to Macworld...but only for one year...i'll judge later if i want to continue. I usually prefer to look at a magazine versus some online mediums...plus i don't need a computer to look at a magazine which is very convenient for me.
