“I think that its tragic that there are billions of people who don’t have PCs,” said Endless CEO Matt Dalio. “The most important thing we can do in making that happen is to lower the price barrier. The second most important thing we can do is solve Internet connectivity.”
If the computer ever is connected to the Web, it will download the latest versions of the articles that have updated.
Dalio says the point isn’t to turn a profit on the $79 device. But, he expect to sell all his accessories for the PC, which is the means by which they’ll in the long run profit. Outstandingly, the computer does not come with a mouse or keyboard.
