Builds on the huge success of Laptops For Dummies, now in its second <br />
edition. Eight minibooks comprising nearly 850 pages give laptop owners the <br />
detailed information and advice they need to make the most of their <br />
computers. Offers focused content for new and intermediate laptop users, <br />
covering laptop basics and beyond, from synchronizing information with a desktop <br />
PC and coordinating e-mail between two computers to accessing the Internet or a <br />
desktop computer remotely. Minibooks include laptop basics, software for <br />
laptops, accessories to go, traveling with a laptop, security, networking a <br />
laptop, sources of power, and upgrading a laptop. Sales of laptops continue to <br />
outpace sales of desktop PCs, with retail laptop sales up 24 percent in the 2006 <br />
