Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:
⭐ok
⭐Book for us really cool readers outline easier PC users a must ,
⭐A comprehensive volume which goes far to fill in the many gaps left bythe inadequate, sketchy, and obscure “instructions” issued with thelaptop. Obviously, there is never going to an all-embracing book forcomputers in general, and all of my books on PCs make only passingreferences to laptops — almost as if laptops were beneath theirnotice. This is an excellent book and far less frightening than”Prostate Cancer for Dummies”.
⭐Like
⭐I bought this book when I purchased my first laptop around 2000 and it was quite informative then. Now many laptops later it is not useful for me but I searched through it for many years.
⭐This is a very handy book for the times that I don’t understand what I’ve done wrong – why my laptop won’t behave. It alsohelped to understand what my laptop was able to do or not do.
⭐comes in handy for anyone who owns laptops/reference book that saves the day/tons of veryuseful handy tips/makes your relationship with your laptop become a very peaceful exsistence. you will no longer be the ‘dummy’ and know what to grab when you need that answer now!
