Zonbu is a cigar-box shaped computer system that claims to save its subscribers up to $10 a month off their energy bill. Though it looks unassuming, this little box hooks up to a monitor, keyboard and mouse and includes over 20 applications, including a word processor and internet, It uses the Linux operating system, which rivals Mac and Windows systems and has been growing in popularity, according to Sonbu’s creator, Gregoire Gentil.

This $12.95 monthly cost is an unavoidable downside, and is barely offset by the energy the device saves. The upside? Zonbu backs up your data as you go, so you don’t end up losing that project you have due at 9am. It’s also easy to navigate. Check out the prices–and definitely try out the tutorial–at zonbu.com.
