Computeractive Reviews

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magazines are monthly for a start so by the time they get to the shelves and you buy and read them a lot of it is out of date with the speed the computer world works.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 ...

Computeractive has to be one of the best Mags 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 simply ...

Computer Active is not your typical computer mag, designed to be read by folks who already have a double first science degree. Computer Active is for the man in the street who wants to get the most from his PC. It has jargon busters in every issue. If they use a word they think you might not know they explain it in plain English and ...

hi im bigsam and recently i spotted computer active magazine in our local newsagents so i started browsing through it and to my surprise i actually liked it & so ended up buying it .the mag has everything a mag should have(&more).for instance there was a piece in it that let any of its readers know that windows xp is to replace win 2000 & me .it ...

This is one of the few computer information publications that you don't need to be a technical whizz to understand and read. But neither does it treat you like a total dimwit! I know a lot of people have criticised it for being too simple but for some people it is an invaluable source of help. It's cheaper than most similar ...

About 18 months ago I got my first chance to use a computer.Having never used one before I was absolutely baffled, Hamish knew a little bit about them but the terms used are very confusing for beginners. As I scoured the shelves of my newsagents I became even more confused not to mention appalled by the price of these magazines until I ...

Why do publishers persist in sticking pictures of semi nude women on the front of Internet magazines ? Silly question really I suppose because if we are honest (blokes that is) it does attract us to the mag, if only just to pick it up under the pretence of flicking through it whilst ogling the front page ! Then again though how many ...

I started buying ComputerActive when it first came out a few years ago, and i've been buying the magazine ever since. It has up-to-date news, good reviews, but I think its time for me to move on. Being a Computer Studies degree student, I often find that I already know most of the hands-on sections, and I find i'm skipping through ...

With the shelves bulging at the seams with computer magazines, one stands out above the rest both in price and quality. Published by VNU Publication at £1.20 Computer Active bucks the trend by being published on a two weekly basis. Being about one inch larger all round than a sheet of A4, Computer Active has around 100 pages with a fair ...

Computer Acitve is a good magazine for people that need some insparation when it comes to there P.c. But there is one tincy problem with it: Easiness. The problem is that, although the magazine is great for beginners, it expects you to be a complete novice all your life. Which obviously isn't true. All the really fun stuff it misses out ...

I have subscribed to Computer Active for the last 6 months so i thought it fair to give my opinion. Most computer magazines are priced in the range of £3 to £5 which makes Computer Active at £1.20 the only option to many people. At this price there is no competition! The news section is very good but probably the best section is the tips. ...

Computer active magazine This magazine is probably the best, least expensive way of learning about that grey box in the corner of your room. It offers user-friendly advice on every issue you could imagine computer related. First there is the “News: What’s Happening” section which tells you about new technology ...

this magazine is aimed at people like me,I bought a computer for my kids home work and of course it wasn`t long before l was hanging over their shoulders to see what all the fuss was about.as I left school just before fountain pens were invented, it was fascinating but scary, a bit like a chinese news paper! eventually the girls got sick of my ...

I’ve been a subscriber to Computer Active for nearly 2 years now. Well, my dad has, I’ve found the information in the magazine a little too basic. Computer Active is ‘ a non-jargon, easy to read, computer users magazine. (According to them)’ I find that this is true. Computer Active is a little simple, as I ...

A good review I as a raw novice to the all new world of cpu's motherboards etc. do find computeractive to be very usefull, but what annoys me about the mag is all the other stuff that seems to be coming in to the editorial.We are talking of stuff like wap phones(now there's a enjoyable internet experiance, not!)etc. this is a computer ...

I use to buy computeractive. The reason for not is due to the fact that I am trying to save money. Yes I know that it is only £1.20 (well when I use to first buy it was only £0.99 but there you go). It is published every fortnight. Oh there was another reason for not buying it was I would forget it was every other week and then not buy the ...

Computeractive is a fortnightly publication and on average has about 126 pages of content. It is not over run with advertisements and sticks to a very rigid formula. The price is also very good and currently stands at £1.20 but like many magazines you can save even more money by becoming a subscriber. The first part of the mag has the ...

===Computer Active===(out every fortnight) I like this magazine very much because it is simple, cheap, and jargon free. Computer Active is split into six main sections which include: ===news=== news round up, internet news, product news. ===re-active=== consumeractive(consumer rights), competition, no ...

Computeractive differs from other PC magazines as it comes out every fortnight, as opposed to the ubitquitous monthly. With a monthly magazine, due to the publishing, printing and circulation deadlines the magazine is hopelessly out of date in the fast moving computer world even before it 'hits the shelves'. With its tighter deadlines ...
