The Computeractive Ultimate Guide series is a monthly brand extension of the UK's best-selling home technology magazine. Aimed at people who want to know how to work their PC, not how their PC works, it is endorsed by the Plain English Campaign.

The Ultimate Guides are a series of jargon-free, 'how to' specials, produced under the Computeractive brand. 

Since its launch in 2002, the Ultimate Guide series has gained a wide audience and established a strong retail position. Each guide focuses on a specific topic such as CD/DVD burning, PC troubleshooting or iPads and iPhones.

Editorial philosophy

Workshops

The Ultimate Guide series is based on an easy-to-follow format, comprising lots of practical examples. Central to the editorial concept are the workshops – jargon-free step-by-step guides on how to get the most out of your computer using well-known PC applications.

Features

Detailed features and comprehensive background information complement the editorial concept.

The information presented is not only valuable to those interested in the latest trends, but predominantly to users seeking to further develop their technical skills.  Topics such as CD/DVD burning, Windows 7 or a round-up of the best free downloads provide both small businesses and home users with practical assistance.

CD

The CD included with each issue is an integral part of the magazine and complements the features and workshops within the issue.

Target audience

Home PC users of all abilities that want to learn about technology in plain English, not technical jargon.
