Laptops For Dummies®, 2nd Edition |
| Dan Gookin (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) |
| In business, laptops are essential to providing mobility to workers. Many business laptops spend much of their time in a desktop docking station and are always available to hit the road. In the home, laptops are most often purchased as a second PC. And now that laptops offer larger displays, longer battery power and speeds equal to desktop computers, some users have sworn off desktops altogether. This trend is likely to continue. The laptop makes a natural second PC. Laptops For Dummies, 2nd Edition covers the many new things to consider—and puzzles to solve—when purchasing a laptop. Issues unique to laptops include synchronizing with the desktop, coordinating email pickup between two machines, remote access to the desktop, networking, power management, and especially laptop security. The 2nd Edition provides a general update to cover new technology, current processors available, and steps to update memory and hard drive capacities; includes more information on interfaces between laptops, MP3 players, live video, and digital cameras; up-to-date details on wireless communication; a look at the many gadgets and gizmos that are available as laptop add-ons; a deeper discussion of networking procedures; information specific to a road warrior; and more. The 2nd Edition also features Windows Vista as the operating system.
