Zonbu: So Easy To Use, A Seven-Year-Old Can Do It

I’ve been playing with the Zonbu review unit on and off for two months now and I’ve certainly been impressed with its ease of use and clean feel. But I’m a Geek and Geeks tend to be able to set up and play with such toys easily while the average consumer sometimes has trouble. The ultimate ease-of-use test would be to hand a Zonbu to someone who’s not a techie and see how easily they could get it up and running. That’s exactly what my son-in-law did: he opened the box and handed it to his seven-year-old son, Blaise.
Within five minutes, Blaise was playing games. The only thing he needed help with was logging on.
Now that’s what I call easy.
Cheers

I was curious if you could use it as an everyday PC too. So I ordered one a few months ago and I have been using it ever since. It’s not perfect but I’ve been pleased how little I use my “big” desktop PC now at home.
In fact, since then, I’ve given one to an employee at work who isn’t that tech savvy and she uses it every day for online work. I also put one in our lobby to let random customers use it without explanation. Works great for web browsing.
I’ve been blogging about my experiences with the Zonbu over the last three months, as well as observations about areas for improvement and business strategy ideas. You can read the blog here: http://mrzonbu.wordpress.com/
