The entry-level computer is designed to compete with models on the market. Mahlangu struggled as a student to access a computer and the internet according to the Daily Sun.
He said that he had to depend on internet cafes and computer labs. The DTC400 was released during lockdown when people were not able to access school or university computers.
The laptop will have a 64GB storage, 6GB Ram and a 400mah battery. The laptop will retail at R4 999. The last hurdle before release is approval from Icasa.
