Does anyone else have kind of like\dislike feeling when reading it? The quality of writing is great but at the same time the language is so obtuse and smug.

yeah its a great magazine but there are times when it thinks of itself as the upper class of magazines, if that makes sense.
But it is still the best computer magazine on the market by a long way and at a reasonable price to.

It is a great magazine. I wouldn't say that the language is obtuse or smug; more that they are very stringent in their evaluation criteria, and refuse to settle. Their strict high standards can oftentimes come across as being pompous, so I can understand why you would describe it as smug. They do tend to be very technical in their descriptions and to some that would come across as dull or obtuse.
It is a good value for the money. But, if you don't want to subscribe, you could always check out the highlights at:
