The courses and topics covered include mathematics, science, foreign languages, Thai language, physical education and social religion, as well as culture, art and technology.

Featuring Intel's smallest-ever low-powered processor, the Klass Book offers Intel's new Atom processor based on Intel's industry-leading 45nm high-k metal gate technology and has been specially designed from the ground-up for minimum power consumption and high performance in small form factor PCs.
"This new Klass Book by Supreme has been developed from the Classmate PC netbook that was first created by Intel and original design manufacturers (ODMs) to support one-on-one e-learning education programs that are being used in classrooms around the world, including in Thailand," Intel Microelectronics (Thailand) Area Sales Manager Sontiya Nujeenseng noted.
"With its affordable price, we see the Klass Book as an ideal first computer that can help enhance children's education and in turn support the goals of our Intel World Ahead program, as established through our collaboration with the Thai government and our partners in Thailand."

A leasing system will also be offered to customers who hold an account with Krungthai Bank and within fifteen minutes for approval, customers can then set up a monthly payment system to conveniently pay for their Klass Book.
