Computeractive — Issue 719

From finding something worth watching to keeping files in sync around the house, Computeractive Issue 719 focuses on practical ways to make everyday technology work better. This fortnightly issue pairs approachable advice with product reviews, security coverage and technology news—useful reading for people who want clear explanations rather than a screenful of jargon.

Make more of the devices you already use

The issue’s how-to features tackle familiar digital chores: synchronising files across a home network and scanning or editing PDFs on a phone using free tools. Elsewhere, tips cover browsers, Windows, Office, smartphones and tablets, with guidance designed to help readers get more from their devices and software.

Find your next thing to watch or listen to

A cover feature surveys new TV apps and viewing options, while a separate article considers the appeal of dedicated MP3 players, including offline listening and music without the interruptions of ads. Together, these features look beyond the default choices on a television or phone.

News, reviews and digital safety

Issue 719 also reports on technology developments and online risks, and reviews a range of consumer devices, including mini PCs, laptops, phones, tablets, storage, keyboards, earbuds and a Wi-Fi router. The magazine’s consumer and security sections add practical context to the product coverage.

For curious, everyday tech users

With troubleshooting, reader tips, software advice and plain-English explanations alongside its longer features, this issue suits readers who enjoy keeping up with technology and want ideas they can put to use in daily life.
