Laptops in easy steps

by Nick Vandome

With laptops increasingly favored over desktops by both consumers and businesses, educated buying and confident, efficient usage are a must. Laptops in Easy Steps shows consumers how to do both. Author Nick Vandome begins by covering the important factors to consider when purchasing a laptop and discussing ergonomic issues such as how to be comfortable and free of strain when using and transporting a one. Vandome then explains how to operate your laptop, demystifying bundled software like Windows Vista, Excel, and Word. He also addresses using a laptop on the move and sharing it with colleagues or family members. The book gives detailed coverage of networking and wireless use, with particular attention paid to accessing the Internet from wireless locations like airports, coffee shops, and libraries. Simple, straightforward writing and extensive visual guides make this a useful handbook for both comprehensive knowledge and understanding particular aspects of laptops.

Είναι αρκετά απλό και απευθύνεται σε χρήστες που δεν έχουν και πολύ επαφή με το αντικείμενο.

Μπορεί στη δική μου περίπτωση να μη βοήθησε γιατί είναι για πολύ βασικά πράγματα παρ'όλα αυτά ήταν καλογραμμένο, με εικόνες και η γλώσσα που χρησιμοποιείται είναι απλή και κατανοητή για κάποιον που δε γνωρίζει.
