Whereas many magazines were dedicated to specific systems or the home or business user's perspective, Byte covered developments in the entire field of small computers and software, and sometimes other computing fields such as supercomputers and high-reliability computing. Coverage was in-depth with much technical detail, rather than user-oriented.
