Zonbu is coming to Grand Junction!!

Today, I helped a new customer order a Zonbu computer. I first wrote about this interesting computer about two months ago. I offered to setup these machines up for free for the first three people in our area that buy one. After much deliberation and research, the customer (KC) and I decided that this computer was really the right decision for her needs.

She bought the laptop Zonbu, and I can't think of anything that this computer won't be able to do for her. She plans on doing some traveling with it (it has wi-fi built-in). She wants to possibly add a digital camera at some time (it has a good picture manager utility and editor already installed). Of course she plans on using the Internet for research, entertainment, and email (the Zonbu has arguably the best browser installed...Firefox and excellent email programs as well). She might want to play a few games (Zonbu has over 15 installed including Sudoku, Mahjongg, Solitaire, Freecell, and more). In addition to all these things, the Zonbu boasts a world-class word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager, database, calendar program, web editor, desktop publishing software, DVD player, music player and organizer, and over 30 games and countless accessories. AND it includes 24/7 support via either telephone or email or chat. AND it includes program and operating system updates automatically maintained via the Internet and a built in web backup system. And this system does not require you be a security expert because it doesn't require anti-virus or anti-spyware software.

Is this starting to sound good to you? It should, but wait how much does it cost?  $1,000? No.  $600? No. This full featured desktop system is only $479! If you opt for a complete two year service plan, you can get the laptop for $279, or $379 with a one year service plan. The $100 and $200 price drop up front is made up via the very reasonable $14.95/month that includes unlimited support and next day computer replacement if there are problems. A similarly configured mini-desktop computer can be bought for as low as $99!

Frankly, I think this is a helluva deal and will shake up the computer industry. I can't wait to pull this computer out of its box and set it up. And of course, I will report back on my findings on setup day and as the customer uses it for her day-to-day computing needs.

If this helped, consider buying me a beer or an Americano!

Cost Per Month

I went to Zonbu's web site.
I am correct that for the $14.95 per month, you only get customer service? Sounds like a lot of money.
