Target market

In 2004, Positivo began actively targeting the retail market. Positivo was primarily focused on middle-class families who likely had never been able to purchase a home personal computer previously. Positivo creates lower-cost computers which are more accessible to the growing middle class in Brazil given their low cost: with financing, the cheapest of these PCs can be paid off for $30/month, making it possible to reach families making ~$270/month. These computers are designed to serve both as a TV and a personal computer.
