I used to buy PCW religiously every month, starting with the 1st issue which had the NASCOM-1 (kit computer) on the cover, which was my first computer. I'm not sure you can really compare PCW to BYTE. From what I recall PCW didn't really get into the more abstract computing topics that BYTE did - it was more more focused on products. Another good magazine from same era was Dr. Dobb's Journal. Shame that all these geeky magazines have disappeared. It's interesting watching some of the old c.1980 BBC computer education TV shows that have been uploaded to YouTube. It's funny watching them trying to earnestly explain to TV viewers the difference between a 16-bit computer with a 16-bit bus vs one with an 8-bit bus, etc... I guess back then there was a thought that the general public would be brought up to speed on the nuances of such things!
