Computer Active

Computer Active is the UK’s most accessible guide to buying and getting the most from the latest technology. The website is updated daily and gives free access to a wide range of step-by-step guides, reviews, PC help topics, video tutorials, news stories, exclusive offers, competitions and more.

Computer Active is a fortnightly computer magazine and has a circulation of nearly 160,000 copies. Its first issue was in February 1998. The readership is defined by their love of technology. Computer active readers are six times more likely to buy hardware online, three times more likely to regularly buy software online and twice as likely to buy gadgets.

The ethos of the company is to make home computing accessible to all, regardless of their age or technical ability. It does so by demystifying computers and explaining their potential benefits. The reviews and features can be relied upon to provide readers with the essential aspects of a piece of technology without leaving them feeling buried in terminology.
