Testimonials
“If you own a Mac, a MacBook Air or an iPhone, you don't have to be a genius to realise these guidebooks are excellent ways to get more use from your gear. Books are pitched at just the right level to appeal to newbies and enthusiasts alike, are full-colour throughout and include plenty of illustrations and screen grabs to make sure instructions are clear.”
—Peter Familari, The Herald Sun

You love your MacBook Air, but sometimes it just makes you scratch your head. How do you connect it to an external monitor? How do you make wired network connections? How do get MacBook Air to use a DVD drive that's connected to another computer on your network? How do you replace the battery?

These kinds of things aren't obvious, and you might think that they require an appointment to see an Apple Genius. Not so! They're all covered in my book MacBook Air Portable Genius, and the book includes lots of other useful and cool tricks and techniques to help you get the most out of your MacBook Air.

Please use links below to learn more about the book. (For some of the links you'll need a program that can open PDF files, such as Adobe Reader.)
