A PC That Uses Less Energy, but Charges a Monthly Fee

,----[ Quote ]
| This summer the pair will begin selling a simplified Linux-based PC for $99 
| and a $12.95 monthly subscription charge. They say that the deal is better 
| than it looks because the 15-watt PC can save up to $10 a month in 
| electricity compared with a standard 200-watt PC.

Linux net PC prototype gains favorable review

,----[ Quote ]
| PC Magazine reviewer Patrick Norton likes the Zonbox's low power requirements 
| and complement of pre-loaded software, which includes Skype, the Banshee 
| music jukebox, OpenOffice, and Firefox. YouTube video playback and mp3 
| ripping are less than perfect, he reports. However, the Zonbox uses only 11 
| Watts to play DVDs (external USB DVD player required). It can output to a 
| 720p high-definition TV with "no problems," Norton found.

Review: Zonbu, the $99 Linux Computer

,----[ Quote
| There's a lot to like about Zonbu, including its three-year replacement 
| warranty. With your configuration information and all your data backed up in 
| the Zonbu online storage space, when you plug in, you can restore your 
| machine instantly. As an added plus, Zonbu is environmentally friendly; the 
| company claims the computer uses a fraction of the electricity of a standard 
| PC, which will cut down on your company's electricity costs.

| Zonbu, due this summer in a silent-running form factor that's about
| the size of a paperback book.

Gizmodo get their hands on Zonbu's remote-storage Linux PC

,----[ Quote ]
| Gizmodo have been playing with a halfway solution, Zonbu?s $99
| Linux PC, which runs open-source software on a fanless 1.2MHz 
| platform but utilises Amazon?s S3 storage servers to save your files.
