Laptops For Dummies
Laptops For Dummies
It锟絪 lightweight, high-tech, and portable; the product of years of research, a longtime dream of engineers and scholars, something people all over the world crave. It锟絪 wireless. It锟絪 about communications. And it will help you become the ultimate mobile computer user. Of course, I锟絤 talking about this book: The fourth edition of Laptops For Dummies.
At this point, most people stop reading the introduction to any book, so rather than continue to write this introduction, I thought I锟絛 tell you the delightful story of my elderly neighbor锟絪 two cats and the unique bond they have with a neighborhood squirrel we all call Spunky.
Just kidding.
I锟絤 happy that you锟絩e still reading this introduction. You锟絩e probably interested because your laptop computer didn锟絫 come with a manual or even a Getting Started pamphlet. Heck, consider yourself lucky if the laptop came with a foldout 锟絩oad map锟?of how to plug things in. Your desire to learn more about your new gizmo, and to get the most out of its purchase, probably drove you to buy this book.
This book covers your portable computer from laptop to lap-bottom, inside and out, on the road or resting at home. The information here runs the gamut, from introducing your laptop to making your first wireless connection at some swanky cybercaf锟? You锟絣l find this book useful whether you锟絩e just out laptop shopping or consider yourself an old hand.
This fourth edition branches out with coverage of the new netbook phenomenon. What was once called the UltraMobile PC is now known far and wide as the netbook. Those inexpensive, lightweight little guys can go the distance, often filling the computing need of students or anyone on a budget or on the go.
Oh, and I still cover those Tablet PCs here. I love 锟絜m, but they锟絩e struggling for widespread adoption. It would be nice if more people respected the Tablet PC because it锟絪 really a laptop with afoldable screen or, as I like to put it, a laptop with a useful neck injury.
