This second edition has been updated to include: The latest processors and motherboards Complete assembly and disassembly information Updated memory standards Upgrading your hard drive to increase performance Changes in networking and firewalls The included DVD contains one-of-a-kind video showing just what’s inside a portable PC. If you have ever wondered what goes on inside your portable PC, how to upgrade/repair it, or how to live on the road with it, this is the one must-have book of the year! Customer Review: Great Reference! This book is an excellent tool to have on hand for anyone even remotely interested in working on laptops, whether for a living or just because your personal machine is out of warranty. Very thorough, it informs you without talking down to you on numerous topics relating to laptops, from where most laptops are built, the components inside, specific things to look for when purchasing, and how to fix it if a problem occurs.
