Better than alternatives
Better than similar alternatives I've tried. Good quality. Small cosmetic issue but doesn't affect use. Could be worse.

Meh
It’s a cheat sheet. Has all the information needed but quality is a bit suss. Print is small and not a crisp as it could be, especially for aging eyes. Paper will probably not hold up without putting it in protective sleeves. The worst of it is the pages are connected (folded sheet) requiring me to cut them for better functionality. If any of this is bothersome to you keep looking.

It helps you I’m glad I bought it!

Great asset for the “tech-impaired” like me.
Honestly I haven’t used it yet but I already see how useful it will be. I’ll have bold-face words and icons exactly matching those across the top of the screen of my “new” refurbished MacBook Air right here in front of me, explaining what they are. I’d ordered a MacBook Air for Seniors book and after trying to decipher 5 acronyms on the FIRST PAGE, I had to take two aspirin and lie down. OK, that was purely for effect, but you seniors out there know what I mean! Forget Microsoft, 3 hours of fiddling and I still couldn’t get past “secondary security” - sheesh!! Apple at least uses virtually the same format for all their devices, so with the help of this excellent card, I can link it up with my iPhone!
