Zonbu.com

Zonbu.com is a new way to look at computers. There is no need of expensive hardware (you do still need a monitor), free software and its green.


Hardware:
  • Intel-compatible ultra-low power CPU - less than 10W power usage
  • 512 MB RAM + 4GB flash-based local storage
  • Graphics up to 2048 x 1536 (16 million colors, 75 Hz). Hardware graphics and MPEG2 acceleration.
  • PC-compatible ports for keyboard and mouse
  • 6 USB ports to plug-and-play all compatible USB accessories
  • Broadband ready: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet built-in or add-on wifi adapter available to purchase
  • Dimensions - 4.875" x 2.175" x 6.675" or 124mm x 56mm x 170mm

Software: Surf. Shop. Burn music. Trade stocks. Write letters. Crop photos. Calculate profits. Watch videos. Talk to friends. Zonbu comes with all the software you need to work hard, and play harder. There's nothing to buy, configure or troubleshoot — the world-class OS and 20 open source applications come installed and ready to go. When the latest application upgrade is released we automatically and transparently install it, keeping you up-to-date without you lifting a finger.

Green:
  • 10W computer compared to 175W standard PC
  • 1 ton of CO2 emission saved
  • $6 monthly saving on your electricity bill
    (based on 12 hour average daily usage)

Friendly to the environment
  • First consumer desktop computer to receive EPEAT gold
  • Lead-free device — RoHS compliant
  • Small footprint — four time fewer chemicals during manufacturing
  • Free recycling program to reduce electronic waste
Here is my opinion of this green machine. Now if you a user that just surfs the internet then this machines for you. Now it comes with 2GB of free automatic backup and if you need more they offer a plan for more storage space. For the $12.95 a month plan you get 25GB backup, unlimited internet support and -$150 discount off the hardware. For the $14.95 a month plan you get 50GB storage, everything else plus remote access. The $19.95 plan you get 100GB storage, plus everything above and overnight free hardware replacement with limited warranty.
