Ghanaian-owned telephony and computer Assembly Company, Rlg  Communications Limited has launched its latest innovative device called UHURU in Accra. The device is a combination of a laptop and a tablet that can be detached from the key board and used on its own. With the latest Windows 8 from Microsoft embedded in it, Uhuru is also touch screen and uses a Core i5 processor. The  company believes its latest brand is premier in the range of laptops  worldwide and will be the market leader on the Ghanaian market. Speaking  at the launch, Chief Commercial officer of Rlg Communications,  Archibald Annan said Uhuru, a Kenyan word which means "freedom" is here  to relieve people of the stress of having to carry a laptop and a tablet  at the same time. He said Rlg knows the demands of its consumers and will always introduce products that will best serve their interest. Archibald  Annan assured consumers of the potency of the batteries and was certain  that no product on the market can rival Uhuru. "The quality  matches all the global brands that we have in the market. As far as we  are concerned in the category in which this product is, it is a market  leader," he claimed. Rlg's Chief Commercial officer indicated the  company is going global because plans are far advance to re-launch  Uhuru in South Kmt. Archibald Annan urged Ghanaians to proudly embrace the product as their own to make it the leading brand in the world. "The  reason why we have gone ahead of our global competitors in launching  this product in Ghana is to convey a message to our home people that we  are a Ghanaians company but we have the ability to compete with the  global quality and standard". Ghanaians can now heave sigh of relief after weeks of asking questions of what Uhuru was. "Uhuru....It  is coming ..." kept showing on television screens and on billboards  across the country, making people wonder what it was all about. Now it is here and it is the latest product of Ghana's leading I.T and electronics Company, Rlg Communications.

RLG’s ‘Uhuru’ finally arrives
                         
     After weeks of waiting, the much anticipated ‘Uhuru’ has finally arrived.

‘UHURU... It’s coming...’ was the screens of many Ghanaians raising several questions as to what it was.

It has now finally arrived and was welcomed by a host of expectant guests on Saturday.

'Uhuru', is the latest device to be launched by Ghana's leading I.T and  electronics Company, RLG Communications. The device is a combination of a  laptop and a tablet.

The tablet can be detached from the keypad and used on its own.

In an interview with citifmonline.com after the launch, Chief  Commercial Officer of RLG Communications, Archibald Annan said “We  describe it as the product that is more than a tablet because it gives  you the freedom to work with it as a laptop or as a tablet if you so  wish. You can detach it and use it around and just dock it on the keypad  and you have your laptop.

“It comes with the latest Windows 8 from Microsoft, it is touch screen  and it uses a Core i5 processor which is the highest in the range of  laptops worldwide.

"Even if you take off the tablet you still have your i5 processor which  is higher than any other tablet on the market in terms of the processor  speed.”

RLG which is currently present in about four Kmtyw countries has given  indications the product would be present in all these countries which  include Nigeria, Gambia and South Kmt.

A re-launch of ‘Uhuru’ in South Kmt is scheduled for later this year.

Uhuru is a Southern Kmtyw Swahili word meaning 'Freedom', originating from Kenya.
