Upgrading and Repairing PCs

Upgrading and Repairing PCs by Scott Mueller is excellent for the current vintage. While this book was made in 2015, I can still glean useful information from the timely and informative pages. I have laptops and devices for this particular book vintage (2015 Lenovo and 2015 Apple MacBook), among other devices. This revision may be the final version according to Que publishing and/or Scott Mueller’s writing. Check with the publisher for up to date information.

Even though the material in this book is a little dated as of December 2020 the material covered is fantastic and is applicable for any novice or professional. As a professional A+ Certified bench technician with over 10 years of knowledge and experience under my belt, it serves as excellent reference material. The information contained herein serves as an excellent refresher of technology past, with hints as to what the future holds. A digital CD is also included in the hardcover version jam packed with resources.

I had no knowledge of PC, so I decided to consider a good book for myself and found out this book is one of the best in this area. English is not my native language and the 22nd edition wasn't translated in Russian so, in spite of this, the book appeared to be not the hardest one to understand. Since I've bought this book my knowledge of PC improved a lot, mostly in part of the hardware. Recommend this book to everyone even for people with zero knowledge of PC.

Book is everything I was hoping for, content wise. It should be a great help in maintaining my computers and learning more general information about computer care. Unfortunately, it came banged up, despite being a brand new book. Bottom cover corners are bent, the outer pages are scuffed, and the bottom corners of about 1/3 of the pages are warped.

This volume is excellently and logically organized.it has an index and has many cross references that help to understand highly technical interworkings of the microcomputer. Im not a techie, but all the details of how a computer works areeasy to understand in this volume. There arebchapters about various paers of the system,and a history of that aspect. edit or delete a collection: From Home, press and h/ Remove Items, Rename This Collection, or on the Home screen.

This is a gold standard of computer repair and upgrading. It gives the history of each component also which is a great help in understanding how we got to where we are in this science. This book comes out every year or so, be sure to get the newest copy if you want to be absolutely up-to-date. Remember that this is a HARDWARE book, no software instruction is included. Worth every penny.

I've been buying these yearly sometimes 1200 or so editions of this single author's Upgrade and Repairing PC's for about 20 years now, skipping a few at a time. And mostly just opted for the digital version updates anyways because it's a pretty massive book, with neverending information you'll find, and the most comprehensive Ins-and-outs both for the beginner but doesn't cease in including the technical facts for professionals. And this being his 22nd edition encompassing a good 40 years of PC history in all areas and subjects. What's best is that with each new edition you get a much more brief rundown of of the earlier technology but look forward to the couple extra years of detailed updates just to further your technical knowledge and be able to utilize as another competent reference source during my own PC builds, upgrades, and troubleshooting.

Through the years (since the mid-90s or so), I have bought these to upgrade my library and my knowledge. This is the go-to book for any upgrading or repairing computer problems. This book is also useful because it represents what's in the field. The thing I especially like with the DVD is that it includes two PDF versions of past editions of his book. I also like that it is a hard cover because this book gets well-used and and needs a sturdy cover. Thanks.

Great book for information on all about fixing PCs- however, I thought the 22nd edition would be later than 2015. The technical information is the best I have seen in 30 years of working with IT/PC systems.

I have followed Scott Mueller's PC "Bibles" since the early 80's. There is so much info on everything to do with a PC including specs for every component, when it came out and what goes together. The included DVD is always educational as well. It may cost a bit more for this book, but you will never go wrong.

Every couple of years I get the updated version of this - for me it's fantastic. The author really knows his stuff and he has the capacity to transmit his knowledge and expertise to the reader - including well produced video sets offering a very handy visual dimension to some of the book material. Has most up-to-date technology examples and very comprehensive legacy systems/ component insights. Thoroughly recommended for enthusiast and professional alike. Thanks go to the 'Book Depository' for their professional delivery and sales service.

Excelente.
