About PCMag
PC Magazine began in 1982 and grew so thick with advertising that individual issues ran past four hundred pages. It stopped printing in 2009 and continues as a review site under the shortened name. Ziff Davis published it from the start, and its PCMag Labs still runs independent hardware testing rather than relying on manufacturer figures.
