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".
