Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:
⭐Laptops for Dummies has exactly the guiding information that I need to get around my laptop computer; to learn my laptop’s features and tutorials. Also, Amazon.com sold Laptops for Dummies at a good price with a free shipping benefit. I’m impressed enough with this book and Amazon.com that I’m writing this review – which I normally don’t do.

⭐I just got my first computer a year ago…I’m 62 years old and was living in the Jurassic Age computer wise. I knew nothing, nada, zero, bupkis about computers but the book helped to change that…I’m no whiz but the book is a great introduction for beginners like I was. It’s clear and easy to understand and I’d recommend it to any greenhorn.
⭐This is a very straight forward guide using simple language and good illustrations to describe various aspects of laptops. I love all the dummies books because they cut to the chase and give clear instructions in simple language for those of us who are not technies. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a simple guide to laptops.
⭐Gift! Gift! Gift! I can not write a review for this book because it was a GIFT fore another person. The person it was given to will hopefully get some good out of it or atleast a smile. It was for my wife. We are in our 60’s. She is just now trying to start learning how to use a computer. I can not help her. I have a Mac. She is learning on a windows system. She does not express emotions very much. She is using the book.
⭐SENT TO MY SISTER IN LAW SO SHE COULD LEARN HOW TO EMAIL ON HER LAPTOP I GAVE HER WHEN WE WERE LAST VISIT. SHE SO FAR CAN ONLY PLAY GAMES BUT SHE IS HAVING FUN AT 79. THANKS RENE

⭐I think this book is excellent for anyone who wants to be properly educated about how to properly use a laptop;it also has some good tips in it about the internet.
⭐I got to admit, l have not read much of this book. I did prove i’m no dummy – i got a kid to show me how to do everything. The book can answer a lot of questions and has great pointers. My advice – get the book and a kid!
⭐Easy to understand
⭐Useful but does not really refer to my Samsung but I feel this is inevitable. Really need a Dummies book which is solely for a single manufacturer.
⭐I bought this for one of my elder learner who has found this very helpful.
⭐ok thanks
