I've used Microsoft Access in it's many versions for years. With 2010 the design of the software changed; for good or bad. I needed an easy way to understand how to do the work I've always done with the new 2010 version of Access. I looked at a couple of instruction/clarification books. Each seemed to lack some feature I needed. This one gave me all I needed; pictures of screens, explanations that aren't too "geeky" and instructions that are clear and useful. I don't have time to be "geeky"; I've got work to do and this book helped me get on with it. Nice USEFUL book.

This new laptop is quite the upgrade from my Samsung RV520. With this new computer I can play games such as Endless Space and Civilization 5. I don't really care for any other games so this device is perfect for my needs. This computer is also very light, I love got light its is. The battery life is about 4 hours but with the power save mode you can make it last 8 hours. It is okay but I usually just keep it plugged in to the power on my desk. The graphics card is very good but after opening mozilla the driver crashed a few times. This issue was easily fixed by updating the drivers. Overall this is a very good computer for the price, It is not touch screen but I am perfectly okay with that. I haven't heard any good things about those computers.
