Pegasos sales restarting : Comment 67 of 156 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Don Cox on 29-Jan-2004 13:13 GMT | In reply to Comment 61 (takemehomegrandma): "Most people can do everything they want with their "last year's model" and that is because "the last year's model" is actually quite good and very suitable for their needs!"
If you position the Pegasos/A1 as "good enough" mediocre computers, you will come up against the total dominance of the Windows PC in that market.
People will only buy a weird, non-standard computer (such as a Mac) if it has some outstanding features and is of really high quality. That's why it was so dangerous for Apple when Motorola fell behind on CPU speed.
It is also possible that there would be a market for a non-standard computer that was _really_ cheap - for example, $200 total including monitor. It would have to have a fully functioning web browser. I don't see Genesi or Eyetech in such a market. |
