The $ 279 Zonbu Notebook is the latest offering from the Open Source computer company — following up on the$99 Zonbu Desktopreleased earlier this year . The software is the same bone seen on the screen background , updated with a few new features such as real fourth dimension data syncing . But the question persist : Does Zonbu find the angelic berth between solid performance and an launching level price ?

The other neat feature of the Zonbu OS , is its potential to integrate with anything . One example is the public folder , which makes any file in the brochure remotely accessible and and available by any playscript write for Zonbu . We were able-bodied to sweep up and expend images into the public leaflet and have them appear on our Facebook page , via a Zonbu Facebook App .
On the computer hardware side , Zonbu went with an Everex laptop , the same maker who offer the $ 200 Wal - Mart PC . It features a 1.5 gigacycle per second VIA processor , 512 MB of RAM , 60 GB HDD and a 15.4 - inch widescreen LCD . Their destination is not to make a powerhouse , but to volunteer a low - price Windows alternative . The laptop also has a compact disk - RW / DVD jazz group drive , 802.11 b / g , 3 USB port , headphone / mike jackass and VGA out . The Zonbu Desktop , in comparison , give-up the ghost with a 1.2 gigahertz processor , and used 4 GB flash memory backed by Amazon ’s S3 server as its primary method of storage .
As we’vementioned inthe past , the Zonbu GUI is generally quick and responsive , with program like Open Office and Banshee music player try out more than adequate . But the OS lacks the polish and power of Vista or OS X. As an exercise , dragging an picture from the web browser to the screen background is not possible ; sites such as YouTube can also glitch out a short . However , these are n’t dealbreakers , but examples to show the conflict between the top dogs and new competitor .
