Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Two Years Makes A Lot of Difference in Computers !
Two years in the rapidly changing landscape of computers makes a lot of difference. "Macbook For Dummies" is helpful to a novice Mac owner like myself, but there is a lot of already outdated material in this manual. The book invests a lot of its pages defining the "Tiger" operating system. While there are many similarities to the new Leopard OS, I stumble through a lot of the exceptions presented that were distinctive to Tiger.
I've learned a lot of basics through this book, but I spend almost ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book for beginners
This book has definitely not disappointed. I switched to the mac world from a pc world and found myself struggling just to do basic things on my new mac book pro. This book is a great resource and really gets you up to speed very quickly. If you have always had a mac and know the basics this book maybe a little too basic for you.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - MacBook for Dummies
I think the book is a good summary of the technical aspects of use of the MacBook. It would have been more helpful to me if more specific discussions of the Intel duo core aspects of the MacBook Pro had been included. Apparently the work had been written before the MacBook Pro version was issued. On the whole I am satisfied with the book and its mode of presentation, in any case.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Jfelix
Great book, It would be nice to have bought a more up to date version, barley covers anyhing on I chat, other than that it really helps out if your a beginner. Not as huge as most help you mac books out there. Easy refrence guide to get you the info you need.
