Computer Service & Repair text book

Got here really fast and in perfect condition. It was the best price anywhere, too!

A great learning Manual

This book has met all my current college class requirements for my degree in computer science

Easy to follow

This is a text book, complete with review questions, vocab, and labs. There is also an associated lab workbook which is available from the publisher. I found reading this book to be extremely easy. It has a lot of diagrams, perhaps a few too many, but they illustrate the principles. Each key term is explained and also has the definition in the margin. There are highlights to know concerning the A+ exam, plus a few sample questions in each chapter. Each chapter also has a simple "lab" section with some real computer excercise to perform. My only question is whether this book is enough. I can't say. Likely, no single source is enough, especially without hands on experience. I also question if it is not time for a new edition given this one was published in June 2004. Also Roberts textbook on Networking Fundamentals is similar in format and readibility.

This Book should've came with your computer!

It has great depth, explaining everything you ever wanted to know about how your computer works, with introduction to a typical PC and its role in our lives plus laboratory activities after each chapter. The book should be used as a reference resource especially for those who enjoy tinkering with PCs. Also, I feel that this book is very helpful to most individuals, especially those who have moderate familiarity with computer systems, computer terms and electronic parts such as transistors, resistors and capacitors.
