So they can say that they are truely friendly to the environment and that could mean as much as $10 a month in energy savings for you — and might just help save the planet, too. Not only does Zonbu's low power design reduce CO2 emissions, but by buying carbon offsets, They make the operation of your Zonbu device completely carbon neutral. Talk about guilt-free computing!


With Zonbu, green doesn't mean you make you extra efforts in your computing..! With its efficient ultra low power design, Zonbu delivers the power of a traditional desktop computer but uses just a fraction of the energy. Most of the work you do at a desk could be easily handled with this PC. I am using it as a server. I will not go in to detail but it took over from a internet facing server that has been running since 2001. It was not a powerful server but it was using 2oo watts. I got the Zonbu PC without a service plan due to my requirements and the nature of the business that it is going to be in.
But the contracts are very attractive and provided in multiple formats to suit everyones needs. Also the price of the PC and the notebook could drop drastically depending on the service plan you decide to go with.

If you do decide to buy one, when you get it, please don't send it back thinking it is not working because there is no noise. It is meant to be noiseless!.

This is the link to get to know about it and get one, Zonbu.
