I believe that this is a great book to have as an introductory guide to using a personal computer and computer networks.

[Md. Jamal Uddin · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is a very large book but it is completely full of relevant discussions with its name. As a non-technical person, if he reads this huge book first, he will understand what a computer is. How does a computer work? Input/output system, OS, apps, programming language, web, internet, networking, etc.

The book gives a very nice introduction to computers. Peter Norton have efficiently explained the basics of computer but the book was old and thus it cannot explain about multi-core processors. Overall the book is very informative.
