My goal is not selling laptops. OLPC is not in the laptop business. It's in the education business.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not good at selling laptops. I'm good at selling ideas.
When we think about even the PC market and what is required in the student as well as in the consumer market, we want to be able to compete in the opening price point.
Selling is something we do for our clients - not to our clients.
We've been working now with computers and education for 30 years, computers in developing countries for 20 years, and trying to make low-cost machines for 10 years. This is not a sudden turn down the road.
My goal wasn't to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers.
Our goal isn't to make money. Our goal absolutely at Apple is not to make money. This may sound a little flippant, but it's the truth. Our goal, and what gets us excited, is to try to make great products.
Dell will participate in tablets and all sorts of client devices. Our main business is helping our customers secure, protect their data and access it from any device they want to.
There are many different kinds of PCs. You have fixed, virtual, tablets, notebooks, ultrabooks, desktops, workstations. What you find in commercial PCs, business PCs, is that there's a really long tail of usage on client devices.
The future lies in designing and selling computers that people don't realize are computers at all.
Our goal is very simply to become the desktop for e-businesses.
