Computeractive Reviews

I have been getting Computer Active since it first came out. I find it very useful for a non-technically minded person like me. When it explains how to do something, it is usually in step-by-step stages, often accompanied by photographs. The Work Shops cover a huge range of items, adding a drop-down box to your web page (must ...

Yes its still a good magazine but........ I have been buying thios magazine since the first issue it started at 99 pence and has now risen to £1.20 which is still very good value. It is a magazine that is based at the less able computer user and after two years or so I have grown out of it. The letters are still intresting and the reviews are ...

I have been purchasing Computeractive magazine every fortnight since it was first published, and find it a very useful resource for all things computer-y. It started off at 99p, but due to this thing they call inflation, it's now £1.20. That's still very good value for money for what you get. Rival computer magazines I find are ...

When my daughter first received her new computer, we both knew absolutely nothing about the workings of it or the Internet - to which we were going to connect. ComputerActive was the only magazine on the market at the time that was both inexpensive - at 99p then - and informative. Since that time (about 2 years ago) I have continued buying it ...

The first thing that you notice about Computer Active is the price. It is £1.20. It was admittedly 99p when it first came out but it is still good value for money. It comes out fortnightly on a Thursday. It states on every cover "The only plain English computer magazine and having read quite a few copies I do tend to agree ...

Computer Active is a small, thin magazine that comes out ever fortnight. To tell you the truth I don?t its worth it for beginners, I prefer Computer Shopper, its much bigger has more info for advance users. Computer Shopper, however, has very few adverts (good) but enough to keep you going. It has some nice reviews on the latest hardware, ...

Computer Active is a all round computer magazine it covers a wide range of topics such as workshops and the latest news, Hot new products, Consumeractive section, Net chart, Problems and Letters and a assortment of diffferent articles. It is published fortnightly. At 1.20 is really cheap compared to other magazines the only downside is there ...

I first acquired a PC some two years ago – and what a shock to the system that turned out to be! My only previous experiences of a computer were with a much-loved Amstrad CPC 464 almost a decade earlier, and it was evident that things had changed a great deal since then. Faced with icons, drop-down menus and an avalanche of error screens, I ...

I walk into my local branch of WH SMith one day with only £1 to spare, what can i get i wonder, i look on the shelf and find Computer Active, i'll buy it, why not! It happens to be the best value computing magazine on the shelves at the moment, for a small £1.20 you are given the news as it happens on all of the latest news, from hardware ...

Computeractive first came my way when I was buying my first PC, that months free supplement was a guide to doing just that. I followed the guides advice and I now have a terrific value PC. All the magazine is written in plain english (they even got an award for this) and any jargon is clearly xplaind on the same page. Every issue comes ...

Excellent magazine for dummies like me, 110pp (issue 62) of hints and tips for novices and the more experienced wishing to upgrade their PC or computer knowledge. Being fortnightly, their news items are just that little bit more up to date than the monthly mags. The current issue (29 June - 12 July) reviews the 50 best computer buys (what I could ...

It's not very often that I find a computer magazine I can understand. While I claim to be good at IT, most of the jargon goes over my head. So it's refreshing to find a magazine that catres for the likes of me rather than the techies. It isn't just the jargon busters that make it worth reading. There is all the latest IT news as ...

I brought this magazine when I first got my own computer. It was very imformative, but I soon out grew out of it after a couple of issues. Don't buy this magazine if you have a general grasp of computers. It will not offer anything new. It sometimes has some nice articles on new technologys, but if you are looking for a magazine ...

Okay, I would consider myself more than a computer novice, so perhaps this magazine was a bad choice of literature, but it is, by all accounts, really bad. It contains little to no actual information, the closest to anything helpful being that it had workshops along the lines of 'How to put headers in Word files', not stimulating. ...

When I first bought my computer I was a complete novice so I decided to buy a computer magazine. There was such a large selection to choose from so I just picked the cheapest, Computer Active. For the more advanced computer user the magazine may seem a bit basic but for the novice it is excellent. Everything is in plain English, any computer ...

A trip to your local newsagent to buy a computer magazine presents you with a vast array of choice. One of those is Computeractive. Published fortnightly and costing £1.20 it represents excellent value for money. There is a good mix of news, software reviews, hardware reviews, letters, PC problems answered and general articles aimed at ...
