|  | Zonbu in the New York Times
Zonbu's concept for a $99 PC with an ongoing monthly cost is so revolutionary that the story has hit the New York Times even before the units are commercially available. I received a sample unit last week, unboxing it in a video here. Actually it's the low power, just 15 watts of the Zonbu that's really got people thinking. "The computer is the size of a cigar box and uses a low-power Intel-compatible microprocessor from VIA Technologies of Taiwan. It comes with four gigabytes of flash memory instead of a disk drive, a spinning mechanical part that uses much of a PC’s power. It also lacks a fan, another big energy user." There is an urban myth that everyone needs to buy close to what ever is currently the fastest PC available. It's simply not true. Most PC users don't require the power of top of the line PCs from 3 years ago, let alone what's available today. Zonbu's design attempts to address this myth and deliver a PC that provides what users need, with a lower total cost of ownership. I'll have more content up about the Zonbu as the week progresses. |
