Zonbu Releases Lean, Mean - and Cheap - Notebook Machine

Zonbu, maker of the Zonbu Mini desktop, unveiled a new addition to its line of hassle-free, affordable and green PCs — the Zonbu Notebook computer. The inexpensive, Linux-based laptops include a service contract, billed monthly, that takes over the tasks of backing up data and monitoring the system’s security. The new notebook PC will be manufactured by Everex and will be available in the first quarter of 2008. Although the Zonbu’s software is still in beta, consumers anxious to buy the machine can pick up the notebook loaded with the beta software from the Zonbu Web site.
