PC Live! was a digital lifestyle magazine from the Republic of Ireland edited and produced by the publishing company Mediateam[http://www.mediateam.ie Mediateam] in Dublin.
PC Live! was first published in 1994 by the Scope Communications Group and later by Mediateam, a company formed when Scope merged with Computer Publications Group in 2005. The magazine was aimed at readers with an interest in computer hardware, software, home entertainment, personal technology and gaming.
A number of editors worked on PC Live! during its run, including Paul Healy (1994–95), John Collins (1996–2000), Stephen Cawley (2000–2007) and, finally, Niall Kitson (2007–2011).
PC Live! ceased publication with its April/May 2011 issue.
Mediateam still publishes two other ICT titles.
