Customer Reviews

Excellent book!
I bought this book to study for A+ exams...I then also decided to be really smart and borrow other additional books from the local library (Exam Cram 2 and A+ Bible)...

My first piece of advice to any would be purchasers of this book is to not use any other books!! This book covers everything you need to know with extra details which are interesting/needed and should be tested by COMPTIA.

It really is a great book and I passed both tests first time and have now orderd Mike Meyers Network+ book as I am sure it is going to be just as good!

Absolute newbie to the a+
I'd recommend this book to anyone young or old wanting to know about hardware and Windows basics and who wants to pass a+!

After 3 weeks of heavy reading i've passed one of the two exams and taking the second in 2 weeks!

I am 19 and haven't ever been a technician (only building my own computers from time to time) and this book is brilliant. It filled in all those gaps from how exactly hard drives store data all the way up to the important bits of every major Windows release. Meyers adds his own style of humour and witty comments so even the worst subjects are covered with the least amount of pain.

best and only book
this is the only book that covers the whole syllabus to the depth required to get you through the current A+ exam. This exam is HARD and i should know i just passed an hour ago
