So far, I’ve probably read the least from this book compared to the other two books I bought for learning the changes there are with my new computer from my old computer. Unlike most books on my reference shelf, I haven’t yet read any of these books cover to cover; I’ll be continuing to use them as reference books.

This book seems less user friendly than my Snow Leopard Dummies book, but it’s full of useful information, and I’m grateful to have it to refer to.

I really like David Pogue's books; I always learn all sorts of tips not easily found elsewhere. And it’s so much better than the included online manual. Despite my addiction to Goodreads, I actually often hate reading long passages online, and really detest reading entire books online from my computer.

So, I have a list of 5 questions for my next call to Apple Care support, but rethinking I think I’ll see if I can find the answers to my questions in this book, or in Mac OS X Snow Leopard All-in-One For Dummies (For Dummies or MacBook Pro Portable Genius. Before I make that next call.

4 ½ stars

As technical references go, this book (and the series, really) do a good job of describing the real hands-on details you may need to know. Admittedly, you probably won't be reading the book from cover to cover (me neither), but I found first few seconds quite helpful for getting up to speed fast. I especially like the first chapter, which in this series tends to focus on the nifty new features in a fairly fast survey that covers of a lot of territory.

Excellent... now I've got to read the Lion update.

David Pogue does his usually excellent job of explaining this version of Mac OS X in an entertaining and easily readable manner.

[Jesper · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good book for getting to the know the OS. Light on terminal stuff though.
