Intel Sri Lanka will feature one of Intel’s groundbreaking products, the Intel Next Unit of Computing (NUC), at the upcoming Colombo International Book Fair, which will be held until September 27, 2015. 

The visitors can experience the simplicity and versatility of a fully-functioning personal computer that fits in the palm of hand at the stall of Genius Associates (Pvt.) Ltd, a partner of Intel Sri Lanka. 

The Intel NUC comes in two forms: the board and the kit. It includes a highly customizable four-by-four-inch board that is ready to accept the memory, hard drive and operating system you choose to install. The four-by-four-inch Intel NUC board comes complete with a soldered-on processor. The board can be purchased independently of the kit, giving you the flexibility to choose the chassis that best suits your needs. 

“Intel Sri Lanka has been actively engaged in uplifting Sri Lanka’s education through various initiatives. The Colombo International Book Fair has become an iconic occasion in Sri Lanka’s event calendar and it highlights the importance of education via reading books. While books play an essential role in education, technology has also arrived into classrooms, in order to empower the next generation of students and create an ICT-savvy workforce. 

The showcasing of Intel NUC at the Colombo Book Fair will give visitors an idea on how to utilize a powerful yet simple device to enhance the education needs of local students. Intel NUC will perfectly match the needs of educational institutes ranging from schools to universities and provide limitless opportunities to move away from the traditional classroom environment,” said Intel EM Ltd Sri Lanka Liaison Office Country Business Manager Indika De Zoysa.
