Computeractive Reviews

Although I use computers on a daily basis at work, I always wish I could learn more and say I have sufficient knowledge to help others out. So in order to give me some assistance, I purchase the Computer Active magazine on a fortnightly basis, costing me only £1.59. This edition I am reviewing is not the current issue as I haven't got ...

Computer Active (I'll call it CA) is a monthly PC/computer/technology magazine that can be found in most newsagents and supermarkets. It currently costs £1.59, which I feel is reasonable and seems to be cheaper than many other computer magazines, although it used to cost £1.35 before prices started to shoot up all over the place. The magazine is ...

Computeractive is a magazine that I have been buying for the last two years. Its not one that I buy every time it comes out, but I will buy it when I see that there's a main feature that I have an interest in, a workshop that could come in handy or I need something to read. This magazine is released every two weeks and costs £1.35 but this has ...

When I bought my computer bundle a couple of years ago. I paid over £1,000 for it. This as you can imagine left me just a little poor. There I was with a pc I had very little knowledge about and no spare cash to afford expert tuition. What made things worst, as I had bought a bundle I had quite a few programs that I had no idea about. For ...

Having tried almost every computer magazine on the shelves at one time or another, I can safely say the only one for me without a doubt is Computeractive. The reason for this? Well I myself am no expert when it comes to computers but then again I?m hardly a novice. I have read this magazine regularly since it started and have ...

This is the best computer magazine out there because it is aimed at everyone with a computer. From beginners to the pc world, to the experts and it also good for children. There are numerous workshop pages where you can learn loads of skills like creating an A5 booklet, removing unwanted internat files, to creating needlework from pictures on your ...

Probably the best magazine on PCs I've ever read - Advantages: cheap, more info than ads!, plain english - Disadvantages: none, only once a fortnight

Computeractive has to be one of the best Magazines around. It uses plain simple English easy to understand. There are many sections within and now has been updated and expanded. These sections include many reviews of the latest products also with news, hints, competitions and many more. I have chosen this magazine over many of others ...

For beginners this magazine is a must have. - Advantages: Fortnightly instead of monthly, Very Cheap, easy to understand information - Disadvantages: No free cd-roms, No online entry for competitions, Too many advertisements

ComputerActive! describes itself as "practical advice in plain english" which describes it very well. The front cover is always full of popular articles to help your computing life easier and normally has relevant information. Although the magazine includes some advertising it is well made up for in content. ...

I have been buying computeractive since it came out and was 99p a copy. It is now £1.20 and comes out fortnightly. For this you get a good computer magazine. It covers everything you want to know on the internet and the computer. The workshop pull out section is great and if you pull out this mini mag every fortnight ...

This is a very useful mag, with interesting news every month, incredibly usefull for the newbie with step by step computer workshops every fortnight. All very well if you're new to the computer world, but for advanced users it's not quite satisfactory. The workshops are too basic, and while they try to cater for beginners and advanced ...

Computeractive claims to be the UK's top selling computer magazine. It is easy to see why. On sale every fortnight, at the bargain price of only £1.20, it helps you to become more knowledgeable about your computer. The main reason I buy this magazine is because it is written in plain language, and does not presume everybody understands ...

Issue number 90 of Computer active is in the shops on Thursdays 26 July 2001 and as usual is up to a very high standard. The news desk covers such items as Britain backs business in spam, Microsofts game of tags ( bit of a control freak old Bill LOL) and ended by some interesting Internet news on Comic relief. They also do an ...

Computer Active is particularly suited to the computer novice. It explains the minefield of computer jargon in plain English. At just £1.20 an issue it is an absolute bargain. The only downside is that there is so much to read that you don't have time to finish the magazine before the next issue is out! If you have the magazine on ...

In my opinion, Computer-Active is the best value for money computer magazine on the market, it retails for a mere £1.20, and for this, you get roughly 90 pages of quality content. The magazine covers a wide spectrum of topics. The first few pages are normally dedicated to all the latest computer, and Internet news. Such as which ISP's ...

This magazine is an an alround performer. It covers areas of computing for novices, amateurs and professionals, with tips on how to make your computer run better and faster. It also has a letters section where people write in detailing ideas of theres. It was in this part of the magazine that I was recommended to visit this website. It ...

We are all obviously interested in computers in shape or form, or we would not be logged on to DooYoo.com would we? However not all of us understand or want to what makes our computers tick and whets new in the hardware and software world of personal computing. I have come across a magazine that will be easy for all to read and digest, ...

I have read many different computer magazines in my time but I have to say that computeractive is the best I have ever read. Most computer magazines are monthly for a start so by the time they get to the shelves and you buy and read them a lot of it is out of date with the speed the computer world works. Not so Computeractive, which is ...

Computer active is a fortnightly publication from VNU publications. It’s aimed at the novice-to-intermediate home user, and is one of those pick and mix magazines featuring a mix of reviews, features, news and guides. It weighs in at 98 pages, but in the current issue I counted that 30 of those pages where adverts. That’s forgivable ...
