| It is not surprising that the sales of laptops have now surpassed the sales of desktop PCs. Laptops have fallen dramatically in price and their specification and computing power now equals or exceeds many desktop machines. Laptops also have the added advantage of being able to be used in any convenient place and then stored away.
You may use your laptop as your main computer or just as an additional work station. You may want to use your laptop on the move, at home or in the office, or perhaps any combination of these. What ever your specific needs are, this book will help you to choose the right machine, get it set up and operating effectively and achieve the most in terms of use and productivity.
Amongst the many topics covered are:
Understanding laptop PC specifications.
Choosing a laptop that suits your particular needs.
Getting the new computer set up properly.
Getting the operating system and other software fully up-to-date.
Connecting your laptop to a wired or Wi-Fi network.
