Stuff vs T3 Magazine

Bennie-Mac · 13 Aug 2011 at 01:27

Do/did you ever read any of these magazines? If so which do you prefer?

I feel the need to subscribe to one of these but can't decide which as they both have very similar styles, help me GD!

Sure, I'm reading Edge right now!

Picked up a T3 the other day and found some cool stuff I wouldn't have normally found rather than poorly written reviews of every well know products. Would read again

Exactly this, both mags are available as digital subscriptions which is what I'm after anyway.

Yep that's why I like them, I've never felt the need to google personal underwater miniture submarines but that doesn't mean I don't like to read about it.

I read loads on my Tablet.

I've always found T3 to have a more professional approach, I get the impression their writers know what they're talking about whereas some Tech magazines go with 'big is best' approach.

I stopped buying the magazine though as I could feel my credit card twitch in my wallet every time they did a hardware comparison.

T3 looks a little better and both pass the time waiting at the barbers.

I had a stuff subscription and really enjoyed it. They are both much of a muchness really, go with whichever is cheaper.

Or whichever one is lighter. The ads must take over half the magazine.

Both these magazines suck, its like tech dumbed-down and reported on 2 months after the internet found out.

They are perfect for the audience they target- gadget show viewers. The early adopters, like you say, know about all this stuff before pen hits paper in those magazines.

I got my subscription as a christmas pressie. I don't have time these days to keep my finger totally on the tech/hardware pulse so it was a nice way to make trips to the toilet even more productive

Anybody who says "tablet" means they ain't got an iPad. Can you even get magazines on Android?

Exactly...

...but they put a pretty woman on the front cover. A scantily clad woman. Thus these magazines must be good. Waste of paper/photons if you ask me.

- I was thinking *exactly* the same.

I've spotted PDFs in the wild so I too wonder

Is that not the same for every magazine on sale though? You will always find a more extensive review/article on the internet than you would in a magazine. Doesn't mean I don't want to read them.

I can only imagine why you asked such a question when there is clearly a photo of an Android tablet a few posts up with a magazine on.

TBH For those who don't spend their lives on the internet these magazines are very useful.

I would rather have a concise monthly summary of what you need to know over missing something critical.

Having just flicked through Stuff - I thought it was 'ok' - I think I'm going to start reading these mags regularly.

We're just asking what app you're using
