c't (short for
Computertechnik, i.e. computer technology, originally an abbr. for
computing today) is a German computer magazine, published by the Heinz Heise publishing house. Originally a special section of the electronics magazine
elrad, the magazine is published monthly since December 1983 and biweekly since
1997. There also exists Dutch edition, published monthly.
The magazine is the fourth most popular German language computer magazine with a sold circulation of about 367,000 (Q3/2005; printed circulation: 482,000). With 239,000 subscriptions it is the computer magazine with the most subscribers in Europe.
c't covers both hardware and software; it focuses on software for the Microsoft Windows platform, but Linux and Apple Computer are also regularly featured. The magazine has a reputation of being very thorough, although critics claim that the magazine has been "dumbed down" in recent years to accommodate the mass market.
A sister magazine,
iX, focuses primarily on UNIX-related issues.
