Colorful PC Magazine - a lot of advertising - little content

I have read several times, CHIP was addressed to the "home users" and they mean is probably the interested layman who does not use his PC professionally.
I feel gripped too short. CHIP is intended certainly to the power user who is not in the PC business is indeed active, but will be in the PC market gahalten to date.

This task is performed CHIP but unfortunately only very limited.

I count myself among the aforementioned clientele ("Power User") and had CHIP subscribed for several years. And I realized how CHIP has changed from well-researched magazine for colorful leaves.

The sooner rather sparse layout (ala "CT") has been inflated into an image-heavy layout, while the level of detail and depth is unfortunately fallen to the same extent.
Where previously own tests took a broad space, the press releases of hardware andf software vendors will almost 1 printed to 1 today. Unfortunately, without this critical examination, so that you feel in some places to give a promotional brochure in hands.

Comparing the ratio of advertising to self-created content readktionellen will quickly see what I mean.

I regret this decline greatly, because I am finally "turned orden big" with this magazine.
