'''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]]). This was quite a large magazine - around 200 pages and was $2.95 per issue.
Platforms covered during the 80's:
Content:
* The general scene - local news and abroad
* Game reviews
* Software / utiltity utility reviews
* Type-ins (readers who sent in type-ins were paid $20 if they were published)
* Tips and tricks
* Hardwarereviews (new models etc)
Amstrad CPC content appeared in June 1985 and continued until June 1987.
