Publisher's Synopsis
Now updated to cover Windows 7, Laptops in Easy Steps starts by going over important factors to consider when buying a laptop, the ergonomic issues surrounding them, and how to be as comfortable as possible when using and transporting a laptop. It then gives an overview of the workings of mobile computers, including the software (such as Windows Vista, Excel, and Word) that is provided with them. Issues such as using a laptop on the move and sharing it with colleagues or other family members are covered, as well as battery issues, networking, and using a wireless connection, with particular attention given to accessing the Internet from wireless locations (hot spots) such as airports, coffee shops, and libraries.
