Customer Reviews

Mike Meyers is my new A+ guru!

I'm using Mike's book to study for my A+ exams, and I have found it to be very clear and easy to understand. I also picked up a copy of this lab manual, because it helps me to understand if I can actually try things. This book has been a great addition to my studying, and I think will make me a better tech. The labs are real-world things that you might really need to do as a tech, and you get practical tips - stuff an experienced tech might tell you if they were looking over your shoulder. I'm thinking of doing Net+ as well, and I'll definitely be checking out the Meyers book for that exam too!

The perfect companion to the book!!!!!

Mike Meyers is one of the most respected people in the computer certification arena. His 3rd edition A+ book is a huge success and the follow-up lab manual is sure be just as successful. First thing I noticed was the over 50 labs included in the book, making this the perfect companion to his book. Also I noticed that the labs are tailored made for the classroom environment and can be adapted tot eh self study mode with little headaches. Each lab has step by step instructions that make it easy to follow along. Labs cover components, motherboards, CPUs, RAM, Bios, busses, storage, DOS, Windows 9.X, 2000, although I think NT Should have been included, sound cards, modems, video, laptops, printers and networking. The coverage of each exam objective is what impressed me the most. Overall this is a must have for those wanting to obtain the certification the first time around.

See how the experts get it done

This is one of the best books out there on the market. Its compact size means it is easier to find information and you can take it anywhere. The exercises are practical (real ones that you might perform) ones and theri are clear detailed pictures. Although the pictures are not colorful they are still clear and effective. The layout is easy to follow as well. All operations are outlined in easy to follow steps. Although this book explains some of the concepts that are used in the repairs and instlallations, this book does refer to the hardcover book so if you dont have the full edition then some computing knowledge is required to understand what the author is talking about.All in all this is a very good book in showing you how the experts do their job.
