Consumer Reports have recently put out information on some new products for computers and home use. This new report included many new as well as updated products. Here is what they advise. Portable E-book Readers E-book readers are small devices that have display screens which are optimized to better show digital books and their electronic text. These readers normally are larger than cell phones but smaller than tablet size computers. Most of these readers use technology such as E ink that reflects ambient light to illuminate the screen giving these devices longer battery life. The color models uses the types of screen technology referred to as LCD which is used on laptops and some smart phones. These have type that is not very crisp and almost impossible to read in any bright light for example at the beach. Computer Security As most everyone knows new computers almost always come with trial version of a security suite from companies such as McAfee or Symantec the two largest names in computer security. But tests have shown that owners could possibly skip buying the total package and be just as safe with some of the many free packages available online. Consumer Reviews conducted evaluations and have concluded that free programs can protect almost all but the most "at risk" internet users from any malware such as spyware, viruses, as well as other threats online. Free security suites offer not just malware protection but many have a firewall and in many cases other extras for example a child protection field. The only difference found from free suites and those that you pay for is certain features such as built-in backup, protection for anti-spam, or a browser toolbar that can alert you when you are entering a website that might host malware. Printers Laser and inkjet printers have become more inexpensive and have increasingly become fuller featured. Color inkjets costing as low as $30 can now print photos impossible to tell apart from photos that are lab processed. At one time usually only found in businesses monochrome laser printers are selling for less than $50. Printers that are inkjet have become the norm now for most computers. Not only can they produce beautiful photos but can also print banners, transparencies, stickers, T-shirt transfers and even greeting cards. The majority produce exceptional black and white text. Some excellent models care be purchased for around $200, so it is not surprising that inkjets account for most printers sold for use at home. Laser printers are still needed in home offices. Especially when you print an abundance of black and white text documents - you need the quality, speed as well as the low-cost per copy of a laser printer. Prior to starting to shop for a printer, decide what you want. There are good models of each type as well as attractive pricing. Computer Monitors Just as televisions computer monitors are continuing to go bigger and wider. The square looking 17 inch monitors are mostly outdated, being replaced mostly by widescreen models. Their size being larger allows for much easier side-by-side page viewing or for more columns of a spreadsheet with less scrolling. If a CRT is what you are still using, come join the new century. Flat screen monitors are very low-priced now, leaving very little reason for staying with that space-hog relic of last century. If you own a flat screen already, good grounds for upgrading include switching to a larger screen for more display space or to a wider screen for watching movies on the computer. You may even want a new monitor that includes a TV tuner, USB ports as well as speakers. These are some new and tested advice from consumer reviews, which is a not for profit corporation and website that tests and advises on electronics and household products and is a household name and expert in this field. These are some of the newest advices from Consumer Reviews. They include computer electronics as well as some software. Article Summary: This is a discussion of some new recent advice from Consumer Reviews. Included is some computer electronics as well as advice on software.
