Whats the best computer mag for a newbie?

Answer 1

As medium dave as mentioned computer active is excellent and everything is in layman and plain english terms it helped myself way back in feb 98 when it arrived .

It does exactly what it says on the tin to coin a phrase lol.

Answer 2

just go on sites, there be plenty more info on the web and it doesn't cost a thing (apart from paying for the internet and stuff)

Search on google maybe like ''How to use a computer'' iunno depends on what your searching for cos the mags wont have alllllllll the info in it so best bets to search online

Answer 3

Theres loads about.  check out the computer category at http://www.magazinesubscription.co.uk/ca...

My favourite is computer active.

Answer 4

Computer Active is good - and if you subscribe, I think you get access to the back-issues, on their website

EDIT: and CA does, indeed, help you get the best out of what you have, with various tutorials, tips, et cetera.

I don't buy it myself, as I already have an MSc in Computer Science, various industry qualifications, and so forth - but my father gets it, and I have a leaf through occasionally.

Answer 5

There isn't one.

All computer magazines are designed to get you (and other users) to buy bigger faster better whizzier computers. Over 50% of their content is adverts. They only review the newest stuff. They do nothing to help you get the best out of what you have.

Hit the library for a book.
