History

Computer Shopper magazine was established in 1979 in

kit computers, parts, and software. The magazine was created by Glenn Patch, publisher of the photo-equipment magazine Shutterbug Ads, in the hopes of applying its formula to a PC-technology magazine.[6] The magazine expanded into prebuilt home computers and white box IBM PC compatibles through the 1980s.[7]

The magazine grew to several hundred pages, mostly of advertisements.

ZDNet Web site, to CNET. CNET sold Computer Shopper to new owners, SX2 Media Labs, in 2006.[9] In April 2009, SX2 Media Labs discontinued the print version of the magazine.[10] The business continued on as a Web entity, ComputerShopper.com, which was reacquired by Ziff-Davis in 2012.[9]
