Everex Zonbu Reviews

REVIEW BY: Stuart Reviewed May 18, 2008

The Zonbu Linux that comes with Everex Zonbu Notebook laptop is pretty poor and hard to use. I reloaded it with XP Pro (although it took me hours to find the right drivers) and now it runs great. Bump the ram from 512mg to 1 Gig really helps. The laptop has no modem, PCMCIA, firewire, and other ports, but does do a good job for someone who just wants to surt the net, do e-mail, MS Office, and basic games. Everex Zonbu Notebook is a nice looking machine with a fairly decent screen, but the graphics chipset is poor.

Everex Zonbu is a great lightweight machine. When I say lightweight, I mean literally, and feature wise. That's okay, though, you know what you are getting and for the price, this thing is freakin' sweet! The OS is ''Zonbu''. This is a very Windo-fied KDE over Gentoo Linux. My wife was on this thing surfing the web, emailing, making documents, and IMing her friends for a week before she knew she wasn't on Windows! This is not a game laptop, but Everex Zonbu is a power-house for the price. Every USB device I put in it loads. It has to have Somba as the entire Windows network shows up in the ''Neighborhood'' window, and I can even print to a shared printer.Did I mention it plays DVD's and burns CD's? There are a few quirks. To get the best wireless performance you have to disable ethernet, for example. Load time is a little long, but that is a restriction of the CPU being a VIA. I will say 40% longer boot time than Vista 64 on my desktop. Once it loads though, it delivers very comendable service

And I quote ''Unfortunately, Zonbu does not currently support scanners, though we plan to add support for them in the future.''So far, all other USBs are fully operational.For the price, this is a five-star product! Everex Zonbu Notebook will do nicely while my other laptop is in the shop.
