Zonbu Notebook: The green and cheap laptop

Great things go mobile!

The Zonbu Notebook is a whopping 15.4″ widescreen laptop with a bundle of useful surprises! But don’t expect it to be expensive with all the features included. In fact it is fairly cheap and a good notebook to start with.

The processor is an Intel-compatible 1.5GHz VIA C7-M with low energy consumption. It has a 15.4” WXGA Widescreen display with a maximum resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels with the standard VGA output. Storage is a 60 gigabyte hard disk. A DVD-ROM / CD-RW optical drive, VIA Chrome9 HC IGP Video adapter with 64MB shared memory to a maximum of 128MB, built-in speaker, microphone and headphone ports, 3 USB 2.0 ports, a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN which is broadband ready and built-in 802.11b/g WiFi.

It comes with a 65W AC-DC Adapter with a 15W average use of power. The rechargeable Lithium-ion battery lasts for 2.5 to 3 hours depending on how long it used. Its dimensions are 14.1” by 10.7” by 1.5” and weighs 5.3 pounds.

A genuine self-starter notebook

Probably one of the best thing about this notebook is its ease of use. It just works immediately when you take it out of the box. Connect to the internet through your broadband access then turn it on and off you go. You’ll be surfing the net immediately using all the productive tools and application bundled with it.

Worry-free mobility

The worry-free Zonbu feature is not limited anymore to the desktop! You can now take the Zonbu Notebook anywhere you desire - at work, at a friend’s house or on vacation trips. It can accompany you on all your errands and trips with its rugged design and lightweight advantage. You can work and connect at any WiFi spot with a 60GB drive that stores a lot of data and backs up your systems automatically when connected to the Net.

The Zonbu notebook is also environment friendly that is why it labeled as the green notebook. It has an efficient very low power design which can consume a small portion of energy compared to standard desktop PC which can result to an estimated $10 a month energy savings. This can eventually help rescue the planet. A reduction in CO2 emission is not the only thing that Zonbu’s low power design do but also by purchasing carbon offsets, the operation of the Zonbu Notebook can make it carbon neutral.

   I’ve been using the Zonbu desktop for about five months now, and blogging about my experiences, both good and bad, as well as observations and suggestions.

   A nice little Zonbu user community has built up around the blog and I recently moved my wife from an Acer/XP desktop to a shiny new Zonbu laptop. This is an experiment to see how a typical, non-technical, user who mostly uses the web and e-mail, finds the Zonbu experience.

   I’m posting notes along the way. You can follow along at: http://mrzonbu.wordpress.com/
