PC Magazine August 2016

When we hit the highway these days, we're taking along more than just a few changes of clothing and a bag of snacks: Our devices—phones, cameras, computers, you name it—come along for the ride too. In our August issue, we share lots of road-trip tech—including must-have apps, tips for taking terrific photos, the top mobile hotspots to keep you connected, and even some of the best tech-centric cars we've reviewed.

And speaking of moving around outside, have you (or your kids) been catching creatures in Pokémon Go? It's a certified worldwide game phenomenon, but that's not all it is: Our reporter discovered that Pokémon Go is also creating its own economy.

Mac fans, there's a new OS in town: macOS Sierra. We tried out the beta version, so we have the scoop on everything from the basics to the details.

Just some of the products reviewed in this issue: the OnePlus 3 smartphone, FujiFilm X70 digital camera, HP Spectre 13 laptop ($1,499.77 at Amazon) , and Doom (for the PC).

As for tips and help, we show you how to get Google to quit tracking you, how to give Linux and LibreOffice a try for your home office, and lots more.
