The Ultimate iBook Book

Rating:
Summary: not exactly the ultimate iBook book
Review: I recently puchased a new ibook and was looking for a book to refresh my knowledge of mac os. While this book was not bad, in fact it was very informative, it was just not the information that I was looking for. I was choosing between this book and "the little ibook book" by Robin Williams. I already have a book by her, and Compairing the ultimate ibook book to "the little mac book" version 5 I felt at a loss. I now plan to purchase The little ibook book" to read about the one thing that this book should have put in its chapter on the internt, connecting on the road. The main reason I got a laptop was mobility and not being able to connect to the internet away from home just defeats the purpose. However for an introduction to the ibook and macs in general this was a very informative, yet dryly written book. But if you are like me and seek a way to connect to the internet on the road, then try for "the little ibook book" if it is anything like "the little mac book" it is better written and not a chore to read through as this book was.

Summary: not exactly the ultimate iBook book
Review: This book was very informative and I learned quite a lot about the iBook BUT aside from a bare one line acknowledgement of the battery there was no other info in the entire book about it.
On any laptop (PC or Mac) the battery is all important and this book good as it is makes no mention of caring for, replacing or getting the most out of this little doo hickey.
