Australian Personal Computer is an Australian magazine first published in 1980 for the home computing market. The magazine covered every platform available at the time. As it progressed through time, models were dropped and new ones added. This magazine was modelled on the British Personal Computer World - as can be seen by the similar logo and magazine covers.

It was Australia's best selling computer magazine! The magazine was published by the Bauer Media Group (based in Sydney) until 2013 when it was purchased by the British company Future plc. (Formerly known as Future Publishing which produced Amstrad Action).

Platforms covered during the 80's: - Amstrad, Apple, Atari, Commodore (and Amiga), Sinclair (Spectrum), IBM, Microbee, NEC etc

Content: - Game reviews - Software / utiltity reviews - Type-ins - Tips and tricks - Hardware

Amstrad CPC content appeared around the time of the CPC model launches, with regular Program Listings/Type-in common by December 1985.

The magazine still exists today and caters for the modern computing scene. It is known as APC magazine.
