4.0 out of 5 stars Good book. A bit out of date, May 15, 2004
By A Customer
This is a good book overall, but does not adequately cover some of the newer applications and hardware options available for Tablet PCs.

It covers the basic uses of the Tablet PC well, however it does not have information on the changes from Office XP to Office 2003, and OneNote. Since OneNote is a major application for the Tablet PC, you may want to look at another book on Tablet PCs, such as "Absolute Beginner's Guide to Tablet PCs," which covers these more timely topics.

Nancy has a good, sometimes humorous style, which helps hold interest over some of the more mundane facets of computing, so it's one of the better Tablet PC books.
