This is a simple and straightforward educational book about laptops, in this day and age of tablets, ipads, notebooks, there could be confusion,
I have no purchased a laptop, and learned in this book, about the downloading, the batteries, you name it the book deals with it there is discussion on the type of monitor, all things I know little about, but felt much more informed after having read this.
Batteries, there are all sorts of school of thought on these, do you leave it plugged in when not in use, do you let the battery run down totally then plug it in to recharge,
One fact about books like this, every day new laptops come out, with improved this or thats, including the batteries, so that the info in the book may not reflect reality.
I feel I learned from the book, so therefore it was helpful.
