This is a good basic way to learn about laptop computers. I received it quickly, and Amazon and the sender were both very helpful.

A comprehensive volume which goes far to fill in the many gaps left by
the inadequate, sketchy, and obscure "instructions" issued with the
laptop. Obviously, there is never going to an all-embracing book for
computers in general, and all of my books on PCs make only passing
references to laptops -- almost as if laptops were beneath their
notice. This is an excellent book and far less frightening than
"Prostate Cancer for Dummies".

I bought this book for my mom and dad, who just recently had their very own notebook computer. The text is easy to read and not intimidating, and it is also a good read for advanced users who want to step back a bit to cover the basics of a laptop.

Buying a laptop should be easy. I want a system that is very powerful, weighs almost nothing, has a huge screen but small overall size, and runs forever on its internal battery. Unfortunately such a system is hard to find. Therefore you have to make compromises.
And in reading this book I find that I pretty much agree with the analysis Mr. Gookin makes. And I base that on having had about a dozen of them down through the years.
