Karatsevidis readily points to a few — you’ll only be able to get an Eve (or one of its possible sequels) online, in a bid to keep costs down. People interested in taking the plunge who haven’t already locked down a unit are in a for a wait, too, and I want to see how well the small team grows to handle customer service.
Lingering questions also remain regarding the company’s ability to spin up production and produce these things for the masses. After all, Karatsevidis’s only experience delivering products was when the Eve released the T1, a white-label Windows tablet. Don’t get me wrong: that takes work, but it’s nowhere near as hard as building a product from scratch.
So yeah, there are many reasons to be skeptical. Still, I’m cautiously optimistic. Out of nowhere, a startup built a serious PC contender, and they’ve cleared the first hurdle — building a device that feels worth using. Now it’s time for the hard part: making these machines for everyone who wants one and keeping quality high along the way.
