You'll learn stuff you didn't know

Reviewer: ashford, london
Highly recommended. I know a lot of people don't like the folksy style of the Dummies books but they are undoubtedly friendly and unintimidating. This one contains an interesting history of the laptop and many of its suggestions are tip top. It forced me to sit down and look at my laptop properly for the first time, really overhaul the junk that I had on it, sort out its battery life and give it some extra memory. Fantastic! Like having a new machine.

If you think this book is for dummies then think again!
I got this book out my local library and i thought i would know most of the information in the book but when i got it home and sat down to read it i was wrong because even though i own a laptop of my own which i work on all day i learnt a whole varaity of new things and it was a really good book to read with the odd jock in it or two.
