The new design can change instantly from a clamshell to touch-optimized tablet mode, allowing young learners new flexibility and micro-mobility to interact, collaborate, write and draw.

“At Intel, we believe that education has the power to transform the lives of individuals, villages, cities and nations, and we understand that technology is one of our greatest tools to advance education in Pakistan.” said Ashar H. Zaidi, Country Manager, Intel Pakistan Corporation.

Built to move the way kids do, the new Intel-powered convertible classmate PC features a touch-screen with an optimized user interface, water-resistant keyboard, touchpad and screen, improved ruggedness with drop test from desk height, bump and scratch resistance surfaces and structures, and an optional anti-microbial keyboard.
