I bought this as an eBook for a pc class. I didn't think I was actually going to need a textbook but since I am doing a tuition reimbursement program, I figured I would get it since I will get a reimbursement for it any ways. I was surprised by the amount of content in this book. Even though books on technology go out of date so quickly, I would highly recommend this for anyone who is either in a class or just wants to learn more about PCs. I also recommend getting the eBook version because it is very convenient to be able to search for topics easily.

This is a really great book. It covers the basic concepts of the A+ exam in full detail. Whether you are a seasoned vet or someone who has never touched the inside of a computer, this book really gives you a great comprehensive knowledge of computer hardware.

I bought this book as it is required for my college coursework. Although the book is packed full of information, it is layed out in a very confusing way. I find myself reading through a section and having to re-read it because some paragraphs discuss a completely different topic.My biggest complaint about this book is the grammar and punctuation. I feel as if this book was not proofread for errors. One sentence reads on page 603, "The System Restore program that makes a snapshot image of the registry and backs up certain dynamic system files."I typically purchase my textbooks since they pertain to my field, but my recommendation is to rent and not buy.

I've only read Chapter One and part of Chapter Two, but I have resorted to searching the internet and YouTube for explanations on topics covered (or not covered) in the text. The author uses a lot of terms without explanations of those terms, and goes into too much detail of certain topics before the basics are covered. There is too much advanced information and too little detailed information. I would not recommend this book.

The book was so painless to activate I can't even remember doing it. It works off the Kindle app, which is very polished and easy to use.The book itself seems decent, but it doesn't much matter. If your class requires it, you're buying it either way, so what matters is price and ease of use:I didn't mind the price, cheaper than my campus store.Top notch ease of use and quality.

The author did a excellent job in presenting the material in this book. Technical books are sometimes difficult to understand but this book was in plain simple English making it very easy to follow and understand. It seem to me that all the basics were cover and now I feel I have a very broad understanding of what I think I should know about navigating around computers. In addition I'll hold on to this book for future referrals even though technology is constantly changing to use for my basic understanding of concepts over process.

I took the authors class so naturally, this was the assigned text-book. Teacher/Class = great, this book however is awful. It reads like badly translated Korean stereo instructions. It seems like each revision to this book has been information randomly copy and pasted out of Wikipedia inserted into random paragraphs. This book focuses mainly on Windows XP era technology and passively (copy/paste) mentions modern systems from time to time. There are MUCH better resources for the A+ test.

Like it, helpful, lots of info. But occasionally refers to something not previously explained. Useful and comprehensive, lots of pictures, tables; acronym glossary at back is very helpful.
