Zonbu – the first zero-emissions personal computer

This are great news. Finally a computer that besides been green can be bought by a larger number of people due to his price

With 60% of computer power usage coming from the monitor, it would be great to be able to use one of these in conjunction with a real power sving monitor. The $100 laptop project, whilst is might not yet cost $100, has some very innovative power saving features on the monitor.

Great post! If the economics don't work, recycling efforts won't either. As our little contribution to make this economics of recycling more appealing, LivePaths.com blogs about people and companies that make money selling recycled or reused items, provide green services or help us reduce our dependency on non renewable resources.

The Zonbu represents an entirely new and relatively radical departure from regular computing models. The power efficiency of the PC itself means that it will use a great deal less power than your average PC. This saves the consumer money and also reduces carbon emissions. They will also recycle the PC for you at the end of its life, which is way more than most PC companies. I think the Zonbu is cool in that it dares to challenge the way we use our computers. The subscription may be a sticking-point for some but not having local storage i.e. dispensing with the hard drive is essential to delivering its ultra low power draw. It also mean that it offers the user far more secure data storage. If your data is uploaded to a server it cannot be lost, stolen or corrupted. You can read my blog which also covers the Zonbu and it's relative benefits at www.technovoyance.com Bravo Zonbu.

This is great. I would like to see what type of recycling efforts they have in plan for when these computers become old. If they have something in plan, that would be a truly great effort.
