If you are a new Mac user, this book is full of information and tips you need to know. Unlike a video, you don’t have to pause it and struggle to see what they are saying and doing. It is helping me tremendously.

  • NOT written for Dummies new to Mac! Too vague!
Format: Paperback
I have used the For Dummies series years ago for Windows 95. Back then, it was great. This book, MacBook for Dummies-Sonoma OS, written by Mark L. Chambers is too vague for anyone new to Mac. And it's not even about the newest OS (my fault for not noticing this when I ordered). It has few helpful pictures to clarify his instructions. The few that it has are light grey, faded images, that no one can see. If you are really a "Dummy" and new to Mac, you need clear illustrations to show you where these mentioned items appear and how they look. Whatever he does list/explain is done in a very cursory manner, not detailed enough for someone new to Mac. I wound up just googling everything on Apple Support. There it was much more clearly broken down. Save your money! I will be returning this book! ... show more
