The makers of the Zonbu say that it is the world’s first green PC and they seem to be right. Unlike 99.9999% of the computers out there, the Zonbu stores all of your files on the company’s servers so all you need is a connection to the internet and that’s it. You buy blocks of hard drive space (25, 50 or 100 GB) at monthly rates ($12.95, $14.95 or $19.95). Zonbu takes care of the back-ups so you never have to worry about recovering your files. The PC machine uses a low-power CPU which draws less electricity so you could save up to $10 a month on your energy bill. The unit also includes 512 MB RAM, uses 4GB of flash-based memory for local storage, has graphics acceleration capable of delivering 1400 x 1050 (16 million colors), a built-in 10/100 Mbps Ethernet and 6 USB ports. All you need to do is plug it in, connect it to the Internet and you’re good to go.

The cost of owning a Zonbu depends on what kind of subscription plan you decide to go with. The best savings are with the two-year plan which reduces the cost of the Zonbu down to $99 while a month-to-month plan brings the price of the machine up to $249. You can even buy skins for your Zonbu to coordinate with the room it’s in.
