In the beginning, netbooks were modest devices. Most lacked the giddyup to even run Windows. Now, netbooks have grown up to the point where even basic models perform many everyday tasks with ease, and a new class of netbooks is starting to challenge full-sized laptops when it comes to getting things done. But this higher power comes at a price — literally — as netbooks are starting to catch up to and even pass full-sized laptops when it comes to the bottom line. Do these more powerful but more expensive netbooks still make sense? That’s among the things you can learn in our freshly updated report on netbooks.

It’s that time of year. Hurricane Earl is set to become the first big storm of 2010 to let its presence be felt in the United States. Hurricane warnings and watches are in effect on the east coast, and experts are closely monitoring Earl’s track to see just how far north is effects might be felt.
One needn’t be a historian to understand the potential dangers hurricanes present every time they make landfall. Even “smaller” storms can cause a lot of damage. While there’s nothing anyone can do to stop a hurricane, you can reduce some of the anxiety associated with Mother Nature’s violent outbursts by preparing for them ahead of time. To that end, we’ve assembled some useful links that may come in handy throughout the rest of hurricane season. Remember, it’s not officially over until December 1.

When it comes to choosing a slow cooker, you have many brands to pick from. But one manufacturer, Hamilton Beach, stands out when it comes to producing what pros and consumers alike say are the best slow cookers available. Three Hamilton Beach slow cookers make the list of Best Reviewed products in our latest report update. What we found most surprising was that a previous Best Reviewed pick, the All-Clad 99009, has fallen sharply out of favor with some consumers.

Garmin GPS units are hot items — both figuratively and literally, it seems. Reviews bear that out, as the nuvi series of automotive GPS devices sweeps ConsumerSearch’s Best Reviewed categories in our most recent full report. Unfortunately, Garmin has identified a potentially dangerous overheating problem when certain third-party batteries produced within a specific date range are used in conjunction with specific printed circuit boards (PCBs). The overheating risk could lead to increased risk of fire.

Choosing a green dishwasher detergent can be tricky. Dishwasher detergents are usually classified as “green” when their formulas exclude phosphates. Phosphates — once a common ingredient in many mainstream detergents — are used to soften water and deliver more powerful cleaning.

Once considered something only for well-heeled videophiles, Blu-ray has now become a part of many home theater setups. Home Media Magazine quotes research that reports 18 percent of homes with a TV will have a Blu-ray player to go with it by the end of the year. There are plenty of reasons for that. Prices have dropped dramatically, and manufacturers have heaped loads of features into even budget Blu-ray players — such as the ability to get more movies, music and other content directly from the Internet. Picture quality with Blu-ray Discs is very good, even on budget players, and the best Blu-ray players overall approach visual perfection. You can learn more about the top choices in our updated report on Blu-ray players.

A few weeks ago, Hedgeye, the investment research firm where I’m a managing director, hosted a conference call for our subscribers that posed the question, “Should U.S. Government Debt Be Rated Junk Status?” Given that debt issued by the U.S. government continues to trade at almost all-time lows in yield, this is a contrarian call to say the least.
