PC Magazine So the info they have on their site is not only free

So the info they have on their site is not only free but very useful. I'm not complaining about their reviews but just one aspect of the site, "Deal Of The Day". As I write pcmag has advertised a Dell Venue 8 16gb tablet for $129 with their Coupon Code. When trying to use the code your sent to Dell.com who states the code is unredeemable. After chatting with Dell customer service they state they have no control over third party deals. And there was no way to reach pcmag's customer service. So not only was the deal invalid on pcmag but I wasted a lot of my own personal time. I will say this about Dell, their customer service was great.

PC Magazine PC Magazine's Review of Dell 7610: Misleading and Disappointing

So, I was looking for a new laptop and stumbled upon PC Magazine's review of the Dell 7610. They gave it a "4/5" rating and called it "Excellent". I thought, "Hey, this must be a great laptop!" and decided to buy it.

However, my experience with the Dell 7610 was far from excellent. After just a few months, I started experiencing issues with the touchpad. I did some research and found out that this was a common problem affecting around 40% of the entire production line. I contacted Dell and they sent me a replacement touchpad. But the issue persisted, so I had to get it replaced again. And again. And again. Finally, they replaced the motherboard and I'm now waiting for a replacement laptop.

Meanwhile, PC Magazine still has that glowing review of the Dell 7610 up on their website. I mean, seriously? How can they call it "excellent" when it has such a high failure rate? It's a piece of crap, plain and simple.

I'm really disappointed in PC Magazine. I used to trust their reviews, but now I'm not so sure. If they can't even get something as basic as a laptop review right, how can I trust them with anything else? From now on, I'll be taking their recommendations with a grain of salt.

PC Magazine Disappointing Experience with pcmag.com: Faulty Product ID and Poor Customer Service

So, I bought a laptop from pcmag.com. It arrived and I was excited to use it, but when I tried to activate Windows 10, the product ID on the bottom of the laptop didn't work. I tried to contact them about the issue, but the only way to get in touch with them was through writing. They sent me the same information that was already included with the laptop on how to find and activate the system. Then, they asked me to take a picture of the product ID and model & s/n, which I did.

I waited for 5 days and finally received a response that a product manager was looking into it. No one ever bothered to call me. They took their sweet time in getting back to me, and now I'm stuck with a laptop that can't be activated and a company that, in my opinion, doesn't value their customers. I've requested a return authorization, but of course, I haven't heard back from them.

I'm warning all potential buyers to beware of my lousy experience with pcmag.com. It's frustrating to deal with a company that doesn't seem to care about their customers. I hope they can improve their customer service in the future.

PC Magazine Zoom and PC Mag: Can We Trust Them?

I gotta say, I been usin' Zoom for work for over a month now and it's been a real pain in the butt. I keep gettin' disconnected and it's makin' me lose my mind. So, I decided to do a little research on Zoom and I found out some pretty scary stuff. Apparently, there's been some serious issues with Zoom, like how they wrote a backdoor program for Mac Zoom installs that could let hackers get into your camera. That's not somethin' that could happen by accident, ya know? And they lied about havin' end-to-end encryption, which is a big deal too. But, when I read PC Mag's review of Zoom, they just kinda brushed over these issues and made excuses for 'em. I used to trust PC Mag, but now I'm not so sure. I've heard from others that they have a bias towards their advertisers, which is not cool. So, I don't think I can trust Zoom or PC Mag anymore.

PC Magazine Disappointing Experience with LG V35 ThinQ: Unreliable Performance and No Product Warranty

I recently purchased an LG V35 ThinQ from AT&T and I have to say, I am not impressed. After only 10 days of use, the phone started dropping calls and shutting down applications. Even Android Auto stopped working and the fingerprint pad is unreliable at best. To make matters worse, LG has not provided any cases or screen protectors to AT&T stores, at least not the one I went to.

When I called LG to have my phone replaced, I was shocked to hear that they do not offer a product warranty. They told me that I could send the phone to them and they would decide whether they could fix it, but they would not replace it. This is unacceptable for a phone that is only two weeks old.

I should have known that something was off when LG offered a $400 credit just to purchase the phone. It seems like a classic case of a lemon product. Now I am stuck paying for a phone that is barely functional and would be better off in the garbage.

I tried to leave a review on PCMag's website, but LG denied it 15 times, claiming that there were ad blocker issues. I turned off all my ad blockers and tried the review on four different browsers, but still no luck. It's a shame that LG is trying to silence negative reviews instead of addressing the issues with their products.

PC Magazine Disappointing Experience with Shop.pcmag.com: False Shipping Claims and Poor Customer Service

I went on shop.pcmag.com to order a 65" LG OLED TV. They charged my credit card right away for $2,249. I was excited to receive my new TV in three days, but that didn't happen. I tried to contact their customer service, but they don't have a phone number. I had to email them, and it took a while for them to respond. When they finally did, they said my TV had shipped. I was thrilled! But, that was a lie. I checked the tracking number they gave me, and FedEx had no record of any shipment. I checked again the next day, and the next, and the next. Every day, the website said my order had shipped, but FedEx had no record of it. I couldn't talk to anyone at shop.pcmag.com to find out what was going on. After four days of waiting and getting nowhere, I decided to dispute the credit card charge and cancel my order. I demanded my money back.

I was very disappointed with shop.pcmag.com. They took my money and didn't deliver what they promised. I don't think I'm the only one who has had this experience. They lied to me in their email about shipping my order when they hadn't. I don't trust them and won't be doing business with them again. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

PC Magazine Disappointed with I Drive's Backup Storage Service: A Cautionary Tale

I made a mistake yesterday by following the advice of PC Magazine and buying a 12-month backup storage from I Drive. The purchase entitled me to a whopping 2000gb of storage, which I thought was a great deal. However, after 22 hours of uploading, only 2.2gb of data has been backed up. I am extremely disappointed with the service, and I don't think it's fit for purpose.

When I made the purchase, I had to confirm where the recommendation came from, and I can only assume that PC Magazine gets a commission for every purchase made through their recommendation. This makes me question the validity of their recommendations.

After reading reviews on Trust Pilot, I found out that many users have had similar experiences with I Drive's service. Most of them think that the service provided by I Drive is poor.

I requested to cancel the service and asked for a full refund, but I was told that there was nothing wrong at their end. They blamed the slow upload speed on the following factors: network traffic at the time of backup, bandwidth provided by my internet service provider, the speed of my internet connection, and the total size of the backup set.

In my opinion, PC Magazine should be more careful with their recommendations. They should only recommend products and services that they have thoroughly tested and found to be reliable. I would advise anyone not to make a purchase based solely on a PC Magazine review.

In conclusion, I regret following the advice of PC Magazine and purchasing a backup storage from I Drive. The service is not fit for purpose, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

PC Magazine PC Magazine: A Must-Read Resource for All Things PC-Related

Been reading PC magazine for years now, and it's one of my go-to sources for all things PC-related. It's pretty much free, I think I pay like 75 cents an issue, which is a steal for all the latest and greatest PC information. The magazine is geared towards PC enthusiasts, but it's not too complicated for those who aren't as tech-savvy. My girlfriend, who knows nothing about technology, used my PC magazine to help her select a digital camera, while I used it to help me overclock my CPU. It's also useful for topics that aren't directly related to PCs, like HDTVs and cell phones. Honestly, I think they should change their name to something more fitting, because it's so much more than just a PC magazine.

I've been reading the magazine for years, but I only recently checked out their website. In the past, I've used cnet.com for my shareware downloads and tech product information. After taking a quick look at the PC magazine online, it seems like they don't have as much information as cnet does, but what they do have is much better written and more informative. They also have the digital version of the magazine available, but I'm not a big fan of digital media. If I'm on my laptop and have wifi, I'd rather just go to their website. If I'm on a plane or don't have access to wifi, I much prefer my traditional paper PC magazine.

Overall, PC magazine is a great resource for anyone who wants to stay up-to-date on the latest PC news and information. It's easy to read, informative, and covers a wide range of topics. Whether you're a PC enthusiast or just someone who wants to learn more about technology, PC magazine is definitely worth checking out.

PC Magazine PC Mag's Censorship of Negative Reviews: A Sad State of Affairs

PC Magazine, or pcmag.com, is a website that offers a review section for various products and services. However, I must say that I was quite disappointed with their approach towards reviews. At the end of my review on Steam, a customer service entity that I believe is garbage, they asked me if I was afraid of hurting someone's feelings. Hell no, I wasn't! I was simply giving my honest opinion about the terrible experience I had with Steam and Rockstar security.

It seems like PC Mag is run by a bunch of 10-year-olds who are too pure to handle any negative comments. It's quite embarrassing, really. I wouldn't want to work for a company that doesn't allow people to express their anger towards a company. After all, isn't that the whole point of a review? If a company like Steam and Rockstar deserves a scathing reprimand for their deplorable conduct, then they should get the best words for it.

I doubt that PC Mag will even post my comments, but that's just sad. It's a sad state of affairs when we can't even exercise our right to free speech. And for those of you who think that we can't offend anybody, you're wrong. These companies that think they're above the law are just as arrogant as those in Congress who believe they can step on our rights.

PC gag, as I like to call it, is the epitome of a corporation that steps on our rights. They may make a lot of money, but they're trying to take control of our brains. Words are supposed to convey ideas, but they're trying to censor us and take away our right to express ourselves.

It's a sad time for young folks, and I'm sorry that it's the people from my generation who have started this movement of lies and deceit. They're telling you that black is white, wrong is right, and not to fight for your rights on any medium is wrong. So, screw PC Mag, screw Steam, and screw Rockstar.

PC Magazine Creating a Secure Universal Password: A Trick to Keep Your Accounts Safe

PC Magazine is a website that talks about technology and gadgets. They recently published an article about how people choose terrible passwords. The most common password that was revealed from a hacked website was "***". Can you believe it? That's just asking for trouble!

But don't worry, I have a suggestion for you to create a very secure 'universal password' that is easily remembered and assuredly safer than what most people use. The best passwords have no pattern, are alpha-numeric, and the longer (12-15 characters) the better. However, the prospect of deciding on such a phrase, easily recalled - but so difficult to crack, can be daunting.

Here's a trick to make it easier for you. Take a piece of information that you won't forget, like an old address. For example, "1584westanywherestreetsandiegocalifornia". Read that carefully and you'll see it's an address. First, that's a nice "long" series of characters. Secondarily it's alpha-numeric, the safest type of password.

Now, here's the trick. By selecting (or un-selecting - the OPPOSITE of your default keyboard setup - play with this to be sure!) the "Num-Lock" key (one tap), the above address becomes: "1584westanywherestreetsand5eg6ca35f6rn5a". Note the changes in the latter part of that address. That information has been sufficiently "garbled" to be a much more secure password, certainly than what most people use.

Take some time with a text doc., or a Word document, and play with different unforgettable strings of information. Once you've decided on a long string, but a memorable string, play with the Num Lock key and see how it changes the data.

After a bit of fine tuning, you should have a near worry-free password, very hard to crack, created simply by hitting "num-Lock" before typing it. If you're curious what the Num Lock key does, how it works on different keyboards and computers, you can Google that and get answers. Right now, it's sufficient to jump into a safer universal password you can stop worrying about.

PC Magazine PC Magazine: Biased and Comment-less - Not Worth Your Time

So, I was browsing the internet and came across some articles on PC Magazine (pcmag.com). Let me tell you, it's like the Fox News of tech sites. The articles are so biased, it's ridiculous. And don't even get me started on their mobile site. It's like they're trying to force you to read their content.

But what really grinds my gears is that they don't have comments on their articles. I mean, come on! How are we supposed to have a discussion about the content if we can't even leave a comment? It's like they don't even care about their readers.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend PC Magazine to anyone. It's just not worth the hassle. There are plenty of other tech sites out there that are much better and more user-friendly. So, save yourself the headache and look elsewhere for your tech news.

PC Magazine PC Magazine's Website: Too Many Ads, Not Enough Content

I gotta say, I went to check out PC Magazine (pcmag.com) and I was not impressed. I mean, I'm all for ads and stuff, but this was just too much. There were so many things going on at once, I couldn't even focus on the actual content. I don't know if it was the video that started playing without me even clicking anything, or the pictures that kept moving on the side, or the ads that kept popping up everywhere, but I just couldn't handle it. I felt like I was on a rollercoaster or something.

I mean, I get it, they gotta make money somehow, but come on. It's like they don't even care about the user experience. It's like they just want to shove as many ads in your face as possible. And don't even get me started on the design. It's like they just threw everything together without any thought.

Overall, I was pretty disappointed with PC Magazine. I was hoping to find some good tech news and reviews, but all I got was a headache. Maybe they should focus more on the content and less on the ads. Just a thought.

PC Magazine Poor Customer Service and Delayed Refund: My Experience with pcmag.com

So, I was looking to buy an OLED TV and decided to check out pcmag.com. I placed my order and waited patiently for a week for it to ship. However, I didn't receive any updates or shipping information. I tried emailing them multiple times, but unfortunately, I didn't get any response.

Feeling frustrated, I decided to file a dispute through PayPal. To my surprise, an hour after PayPal contacted them, they created a shipping label. But, the frustration didn't end there. They kept me waiting for a few more days before finally issuing a refund.

I must say, I was really disappointed with the service I received from pcmag.com. It's really frustrating when you don't get any response from the customer service team. I felt like I was being jerked around for no reason.

In my opinion, this website is run by scam artists. I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy anything from them. It's better to be safe than sorry. So, if you're planning to buy something from pcmag.com, you have been warned.

PC Magazine Terrible Experience with PC Magazine: Delayed Laptop Delivery and Unresponsive Customer Service

I gotta say, I ain't too happy with PC Magazine right now. I ordered a laptop from them back on September 20th, 2018, and it's been a real hassle ever since. They made a FedEx label on September 24th, but when I called FedEx today, they said PC Magazine still hasn't even requested a pick up date. And get this - they charged my credit card on the 20th, even though they haven't done a darn thing to get my laptop to me. It's now the 28th, and I'm still waiting. I'm so mad, I'm thinking about reporting them to the BBB. Honestly, if I could give them zero stars, I would.

PC Magazine PC Magazine's Website: Great for Tech News and Reviews, But Their Email List Needs Work

I gotta say, I've been using PC Magazine's website (pcmag.com) for a while now and it's pretty solid. They got all sorts of tech news and reviews, which is great for someone like me who's always looking for the latest gadgets and gizmos.

But I gotta admit, I'm a little annoyed with their email list. I mean, I get it, they wanna keep their subscribers and all that. But why make it so dang difficult to unsubscribe? I just wanna click one button and be done with it, ya know? Instead, they make you jump through all these hoops and it's just a hassle.

I mean, I get it, they don't wanna lose a bunch of subscribers and potentially lose out on ad revenue. But come on, guys, let people go if they wanna go. It's not like they're gonna suddenly forget about PC Magazine just because they're not getting emails anymore.

Anyway, that's my two cents. PC Magazine's website is great, but their email list could use some work. If you're looking for tech news and reviews though, definitely check 'em out.

PC Magazine Disappointing Experience with PC MAG SHOP: Broken PCs and Poor Customer Service

So, I bought five PCs from PC Magazine's online store, PC MAG SHOP, for my business. They were supposed to be covered by a one-year warranty. Unfortunately, when the computers arrived, two of them were broken. I tried to contact the company, but there was no phone number available. I had to send them an email, and they took a long time to respond. When they finally did, they made me jump through a bunch of hoops, and even after I did everything they asked, there were still more hoops to jump through. It was a real hassle.

I have to say, I'm really disappointed with PC MAG SHOP. I would never order from them again. Sometimes, you really do get what you pay for, and in this case, it was junk. I wish I had gone with a different company.

PC Magazine PC Magazine: A Once-Reputable Source Now Focused on Profit Over Truth

PC Magazine used to be a big deal, but now it's not so much. Other places are more popular now, so they gotta do what they gotta do to make some cash. They're all about putting stuff in their articles that they get paid for, even if it's not true. They even kicked out John C. Dvorak for writing about 5G and telling the truth. They don't care about facts, just money.

PC Magazine Netflix's 'Cuties' and Inappropriate Content: A Review by PC Mag

PC Mag is a website that talks about all things technology. They asked me to give a review about Netflix and I did just that. I told them that Netflix is a bad website because they have a movie called "Cuties" that shows a young girl in inappropriate scenes. I heard that there are other movies like this on Netflix too. I think it's really bad that Netflix would let these kinds of movies on their website.

But then PC Mag told me that they couldn't post my review because it broke their rules. I guess they don't want people talking about bad stuff like that on their website. I think that's a good thing because we don't want kids or anyone else to see things like that.

Overall, I think PC Mag is a good website because they care about what people say on their website. They want to make sure that everyone is safe and happy when they visit their website. I would recommend PC Mag to anyone who wants to learn about technology.

PC Magazine Disappointing Shopping Experience on pcmag.com: Lack of Shipping Info and Unresponsive Customer Service

I recently made a purchase from PC Magazine's website, pcmag.com. I was excited to find an attractively priced Nest Hello doorbell/camera and quickly placed my order. I received an email confirmation for my purchase, which was great. However, when I clicked on the "View Your Order" link in the email, I was disappointed to find that there was no shipping information available. This was frustrating, as I wanted to know when I could expect my new device to arrive.

I tried to contact PC Magazine's customer service team using the "Contact Us" email address provided on the website, but unfortunately, I did not receive a response. This was disappointing, as I was hoping to get some answers about my order. The only other option available to me was to review the return policy, which was not very helpful in this situation.

Overall, I was disappointed with my shopping experience on pcmag.com. While I was able to find a great deal on a product I wanted, the lack of shipping information and unresponsive customer service made the process more difficult than it needed to be. I would not purchase from PC Magazine again, as I value convenience and good customer service when shopping online. While the 5% savings on my $200 purchase was nice, it was not worth the hassle of dealing with a company that did not live up to its name as a technology-focused retailer.

PC Magazine Disappointing Customer Service Experience with PCMag Shop: A Review

So, I recently had a bad experience with a Sony product I purchased from PCMag Shop. Unfortunately, the product didn't last even 30 days, and I was left with no response from their customer service. According to their policy, I was eligible to return the item within 30 days from the delivery date, which was March 13, 2019. I even have proof of delivery, but still no response from their customer service team. It's quite frustrating to deal with an email portal only, and not being able to talk to a real person.

It's ironic that PC MAG published an article titled "How To Talk to a Real Person: The Ultimate Customer Support Phone Number Directory." I wish I had seen this article before making my purchase. It would have saved me a lot of trouble. I hope PCMag Shop can improve their customer service and provide better support to their customers. It's important to have a good customer support system, especially when dealing with online purchases.

Overall, I'm disappointed with my experience with PCMag Shop. I hope they can learn from their mistakes and improve their services. It's important to have a good reputation in the market, and customer support is a crucial aspect of it. I would recommend PCMag Shop to be more responsive and provide better support to their customers.
