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

⭐This user manual was to be a companion reference for the netbook we gave my 92-year-old parents for Christmas. The idea was to continue their subscription to magazines which had gone all digital and also provide access to good literature via Nook for PC. Runs to brick and mortar sources aren’t as easy as they used to be.I had the manual a very short time before wrapping it and putting it under the tree so I can only offer my first impression. What struck me right away was that this book offered way more information and detail than any dummy (me) needed or could easily process. However, after about 20-minutes of search and practice I did learn to use the touchpad and was able to convey this skill to Mom and Dad. Word from the folks is that they are now surfing, reading from Nook, and taking the netbook to Book Club. But, at this point, we all wonder if anyone out there has published a netbook how-to for subdummies.

⭐It not bad for beginner to computers but notwhat I was looking for. Its a good tool forteaching someone who don’t know anything.

⭐I bought this book BEFORE I bought my netbook and I am so-o-o glad I did! Do yourself a favor before trouble happens. It is a lifesaver!

⭐As a first time netbook purchaser I found this book extremely helpful and continue to refer to it for upgrade information and use it as a reference. Great price from te seller as well.

⭐Couldn’t get this from the local library so I bought this one and it was a good price for a book that was printed in 2010. It provided very good and useful information.

⭐I found the dummies book answers a lot of questions. I am still looking items up.

⭐i can use computer not expertly but can do basic this really didnt help much with my netbook i didnt find it useful and my dad who is completely unknown to netbooks etc found it totally unhelpful it just tells you what to buy,set it up etc igave it to the local charity shop
