Dear Colleagues, I'm a little bit puzzled: if the cost of the components by themselves and isolated add up to $90 - assuming low costs due to the scale of the operation - they will be assembled into a laptop which is then preloaded, tested, packed, stored and shipped all for $0? (this is necessary to maintain a profit of $10)
Because if not, the target of a $100 per unit as sold / delivered to Education-Ministries can not be met, even assuming breakthroughs in display technology and the claimed component prices. Perhaps I missed something essential in the project layout?
