I enjoyed PC Magazine from Ziff-David (I believe). John C. Dvorak’s “Inside Track” column was the first one I read each time. I still use bold text in the much same way he did.
My memory is that I found their reviews of new hardware and software to be the best in this category of magazines during the 1990s.
Kilobyte and Creative Computing were awesome.
…might have been Kilobaud. It’s been a while. I remember the table of contents was always on the cover.
MacWEEK & InfoWorld 
In German speaking countries we still have a good print magazine.
I think maybe Creative Computing, Dr. Dobbs, and Micro Cornucopia.
I was a freelance journalist I the 1990s and I was a regular contributor to Amiga Format. I was a fan since it launched as ST/Amiga Format in the late 80s.
For me, it’s a tie between Byte Magazine and Dr. Dobbs’.
They should have offered you a job!
EDN wasn’t a computer magazine but I’ve got a great deal of fondness for it.
One day in 1970-ish, I was enjoying a reflective moment of necessary business in the company men’s room. A copy of EDN was sitting on the toilet tank.
Either an article or an editorial column addressed how to define a microprocessor. In those days, many engineers had no idea.
The article’s conclusion was microprocessors are not computers (go figure) and were more properly recognized as programmable logic devices.
That was enough for me. I was just learning digital design. Programmable logic was more than merely intriguing. From that article, a lifetime of fascination emerged.
The only thing is that it was a defining moment. Like hearing Kennedy was assassinated, I’ll never forget where I was. Kind of a difficult story to share in polite company.
But, wow, what adventures opened up with microprocessors.

It’s crazy that I never knew anyone with an Atari when I was a kid. It was Commodore 64 or Apple II in my region of the USA.
