There have been very cheap computers in the past, but this is one of the first ‘green rated’ computer. With a zero emissions footprint, this computer will save you around $10.00 a month vs. using a standard computer.
As you can expect, Zonbu runs linux and comes with Open Office, Skype and various other open source applications. Hard drive is a 4GB flash drive, but this computer might be considered to be used more like a internet device. Motherboard is Intel VIA and the entire computer is smaller than a breadbasket. 
Others are saying that the device is very slick, and looks beautiful. The price of the Zonbu is $99.00, but there is a monthly service fee of $12.95. From what I can gather, the fee grants you 25GB of online storage.
With size, price, and features, the Zonbu may be prefect for the back to school crowd. I have thought about sending something similar to my less-than-tech-savvy parents in the past… the Zonbu may be in their future.
