coming up with a low-cost practical computer that works for almost anybody almost anywhere in the world a long-term goal not always successfully met this latest version has a lot going for it it's called the endless mini it's essentially a linux-based little plastic desktop starts at just $79 99 if you want to add a a wireless antenna and very importantly it comes pre-loaded with a lot of content so that it'll work for you even if you don't have an active internet connection which is not something that everybody can take for granted it also comes pre-loaded with a lot of you know every day option might need there's a word processor built in and a lot of these apps are a little bit slow to launch because this is a very very very low powered Linux based system here but if you want to do some basic typing and word processing this should work just fine you've also got basic music and video players photo editing app but what I really like is a lot of the preloaded built-in content that comes on the on the hard drive there's a full encyclopedia on here so you don't have to go online and pull the information down from Wikipedia or wherever else you can just look right here there's also a virtual school app which gives you access to Khan Academy videos and a wide variety of topics they're also built in things like cooking guides and health guide so basically just PDFs that are usually illustrated with an internet connection were able to surf the web fairly well get to our favorite cloud side stream videos on YouTube or music from SoundCloud for example and for a $79 computer that's pretty much what you're looking for it's not really for me or you there are a lot of other low cost options like the Intel compute stick that might be better if you're looking to spend the least amount possible for the most possible computer but there is a big audience out there that will find a lot to like and a lot of use out of the endless mini
