One of the UK Amstrad magazines for the CPC, issued monthly from January 1985 (Vol 1, No 1) to December 1988 (Vol 4, No 12). The magazine started of catering for the CPC range and expanded to cover the Amstrad PCW/PC range as well.

In October 1986, the magazine updated it's cover logo and in May 1987 Amtix! was rolled into the magazine, as evidenced by the Incorporating Amtix! logo on the front cover for the next 16 issues (until August 1988).

May 1987's issue contained essentially the first edition of Computing with the Amstrad PCW which then in June 1987 split off to form its own separate magazine (also by Database Publications) - hence why CWTA became known as Computing with the Amstrad CPC. So from June onwards it was purely a CPC magazine.

In September 1988, the magazine title became the shorter name "CPC Computing" (the top left corner of the magazine said 'The new name for Computing with the Amstrad CPC') and underwent a slight makeover. All Amtix! & Amtips references vanished but essentially it was the same magazine. It ran for 4 issues before being 'merged' into Amstrad Computer User in January 1989. This was evident, by ACU having the 'with CPC Computing' logo on the cover of the magazine for the next 6 issue before disappearing in July 1989 as part of a magazine overhaul.

There has also been a Computing With The Amstrad - Australian Edition which ran from August 1986 until December 1987 under license from Database Publications. Things like 10-liners and listings were re-printed exactly along with other content.
