Computeractive Reviews

Computeractive is the best computer mag I've read. Unlike most, it contains more interesting articles than adverts! It helped me when I was a complete novice and now I'm more computer literate every issue still has somthing new to learn in it. It is written in ordinary language and gives explaination of any computing terms ...

Computer Active is a wonderful computer magazine for all of the family. There is so much information packed into one small magazine. There are very few ads and the pages are planned well with a good mix of pictures and information. The magazine that I have got (5-18 October) contains a lot of information. The first few pages of the ...

I have been an avid reader of Computer active for about 3 months now and I am very impressed with the whole layout and format of the magazine. I decided after reading a couple of issues that I would subscibe to Computeractive and it works out that I only pay 90p instead of the normal £1.20, Bargain! Recently the magazine has had several giveaways ...

What a magazine Computeractive is. I have been a subscriber of this quality magazine from Issue 7 and I can only recommend it to anyone who owns a computer. Not only is it rich in content but it is also rich in value for money. At a mere £1.20 it offers the greatest value for money of aany PC magazine on the market. It may not ...

Many computer magazines claim to speak to you in plain English before decending into that wonderful but very complicated language of computers!!! Well for once there is a magazine that not only claims to keep things simple but actually does!!! Published fortnightly, VNU'S COMPUTER ACTIVE also has the approval of the The ...

I’m not a technophobe by any means, but wanting to know all the intricacies and every detail about my pc doesn’t really interest me. There are certain things I want to know about: that will improve my knowledge, and use of my computer, but I want to be able to understand what I’m reading about. I don’t want to read ...

I am only just getting into the ways and workings of the computer but I find this magazine very helpful and one that I can easily understand - well a lot of it anyway and what I cannot is not their fault!! Its articles are put in a language that I can understand which with a lot of the computer magazines I dont. They just presume that ...

I first bought this magazine appx two years a go, just as I purchased my first computer and out of all the computer magazines, I found this one to be the best. Its layout is very good with the first section starting off with the latest news on what’s happening in the computer world. It then goes on to show you the latest gadgets that are ...

I've been getting ComputerActive almost since it first came out. As I was new to PCs' at the time, I was looking for something that wasn't too technical, and wasn't full of adverts like some of the magazines I ahd bought. ComputerActive wins on both counts. While it isn't as thick as some magazines, it is all articles, ...

As every new computer user knows, learning to get the best use from your system is very important. One of the favourite methods for many people is to read the various computer magazines. Computer Active is an excellent choice for this purpose. With no free CD on the cover to attract buyers, it is necessary to make up by content, which it does ...

Computer active is certainly great value for money. Each month it offers advice and ideas to beginners and intermediate users. Some of the articles are fairly basic but then, that depends on what you call basic. You can use a computer for years and then find out that something you never knew about was quite 'basic' to everyone ...

At £1.20 per issue, this magazine is a bargain. As the title suggests it is a computer magazine, and it is issued fortnightly. But beware.......if you are an intermediate or advanced computer user this magazine maybe too basic for you. It is very good for beginners and has very simple workshops with useful articles (For Example, this ...

Tha average computer magazine is as thick as a phone book, and comes complete with about eight cover-mounted CD-Roms which feature free products which have been superceded by newer versions, or trial versions of games that ae basically adverts. In my opinion, they are virtually all pitched at people who should get out more, even if the ...

How many times have you been doing something on your PC and something has happened so that you can't complete a task, it didn't go as expected or the computer just crashed? Then I suggest you buy Computeractive magazine, it is actually the UKs best selling computer mag and it's out fortnightly on a Thursday at £1.20. It ...

I have purchased ComputerActive from issue 2 (missed the first one)and would recomend it to anyone starting out with computers.I also think it helps as we get to know more about our systems as it seems to grow with us.My only criticism is that some articles do not go into more depth eg web page construction has been a little over stated on the ...

I have only just discovered computeractive and I have to say that it is the most simple, best laid out and easiest to understand computer magazine that I have ever found. The secret of this publication is that it takes the side of the average user/consumer and not the expert. This means that jargon, when it is used, is explained. The instruction ...

I subscribed to ComputerActive about 18 months ago. It is published every two weeks and for novice to intermediate users it is clearly head and shoulders better than any other computer magazine on the market. The style is clear and concise with lots of illustrations. I particularly like the fact that it does not swamp the reader with an excess of ...

Computeractive magazine - a very reasonable price at only £1.20, and out fortnightly, you are kept up to date with its massive news section as well as being a good supplier of reviews and tests. I have been a subscriber for a year nearly and find that even as an experienced computer user, it has some very good information contained within and the ...

If you are new to the big wide world of computing you could do a lot worse than picking up a copy of computer active. Altough the price of the magazine has increased from its launch price of 99p to £1.20 it still represents great value partly becuase you are not paying for those "free" cd's that are welded on to the front ...

This excellent value publication is suitable for all computer users, no matter what level of experience you have. The main thing I like about it is that they are not afraid to say what they think on behalf of the consumer. In the section "ConsumerActive", they will take on the big boys and sort out your problems with Manufacturers or ...
