Negative Positive
Title: Far too basic
Review: I bought this book to help prepare me for the A+ exam. As a computer enthusiast, I was already familiar with most of the concepts which that exam covers, but wanted a refresher and something geared specifically for it. I was very disappointed.This book is overly basic; I have known everything in it for years. It does not at all reflect the relative depth of the A+ exam. If this is your only preparation for that exam, you will fail miserably. Only the bare fundamentals of hardware and OS's are discussed. Basic things are repeated ad naseum.If you have never looked inside your PC or read anything about PCs before, you might like the super-beginner level of this book - it will familiarize you with basic PC terms like "CPU" and "PCI." If you're at all serious about PCs and/or the A+ exam, look somewhere else.
