Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Possibly the most important things Gookin explains are how to keep an eye on your power consumption when using batteries, and how to hook up to the Internet. These are both usually in the real world context of you travelling to some place. That’s why you’re getting a laptop, right?The battery situation can be frustrating. He warns not to lose work. Depending on your choice of laptop, power consumption might be an issue. The faster the laptop, the more power it uses. There is a complicated reason to do with CMOS technology used in most of the laptop’s microprocessors, where the power consumption is proportional to the clock frequency. But the main thing is to be aware that speed comes at a price.As far as hooking up to the Internet, Gookin shows that things are reasonably easy nowadays, and getting easier. The latter is because more wireless access points emerge in cities, and more hotels, libraries etc have wired access. Remember to change the default passwords on any networking software you run, before having it go out on a strange network.

⭐not quite what I had in mind. It was recommended but not what I actually needed. Good book with some helpful information – it just does not cover the questions I had about my new computer!

⭐Helpful i’m not computer literate

⭐These are always good books and value for money

⭐book was poor for actually explaining how to use your laptop

⭐just a wee bit out of date
