The magazine was specifically for users of PCs and related technologies so features articles were undiluted by coverage of other platforms.

[4][5] Each edition of the print magazine was centered on four main sections - news, reviews, features, and tutorials.

Under Pearman's editorship, the magazine was characterised by the inclusion of irreverent off-the-wall features and content including Huw Collingbourne's Rants and Raves,[6] a serialisation of a fictional office entitled Group Efforts[7] and the Bastard Operator From Hell.

The magazine frequently drew on images of Bath, its office base, during multimedia tutorial articles.

no longer publishes PC Plus as a print publication although the on-line domain is still serviced by parent brand TechRadar.com.
