Competition in the computer market is driven by specifications and price, with a growing demand of users willing to pay a premium for a personalised design computer."<br/><br/>TDIH has worked with Inclosia for the project to help bring an element of fashion to the devices.<img alt="track" src="http://directnews.dehavilland.co.uk/dn.gif?feedid=196&itemid=8633723"/>
