What is the Realme Book laptop release date?
The Realme Book laptop does not have a release date yet but it is expected to launch worldwide very soon. As per rumours, Realme is expected to launch the Realme Book laptop sometime in August.
The Realme laptop was first teased by Madhav Sheth, CEO, Realme India and Europe who posted a picture of a laptop inside an office envelope made out of paper on Twitter. This was likely a throwback to how Apple's Steve Jobs unveiled the MacBook Air back in 2008 by removing it from a paper office envelope and the crowd was shocked at just how thin the laptop was.

The design of the Realme Book has leaked and it looks likely to have taken inspiration from the Apple MacBook Air. We get a 3:2 aspect ratio display and a design that looks thin and light and eerily similar to the MacBook Air.
While we do not know the exact dimensions of the Realme Book laptop yet, it could follow similar minimal aesthetics with an aluminium build. As per the information by OnLeaks, the Realme Book measures 307x229x16mm (12.08×9.01×0.62 inches) which makes it slimmer than the Mi NoteBook 14 but not the MacBook Air.
From the leaked and teased images, we can see that the Realme Book is thin and features two Type-C ports on the left side and a large trackpad, just like the MacBook Air. The right side is also home to a USB Type-A port and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Furthermore, the latest leak indicates that the power button on the Realme Book laptop will double up as a fingerprint reader.

The display of Realme Book has minimal bezels around which makes for an immersive experience as well. There’s no word on the type of display on the Realme Book but we expect it to be a standard 13.3-inch or 14-inch Full HD display. As per the new information by OnLeaks, the Realme Book laptop features a 14-inch display that is likely a Full HD anti-glare panel. At the bottom, the Realme Book has a wide speaker grille suggesting the presence of stereo speakers on board.

Realme Book laptop specs remain under wraps for now but Realme will likely go with an Intel processor.

We know that the Realme Book has two Type-C ports on the left side which only leaves the right side for other I/O ports like more Type-C ports, USB-A ports or a 3.5mm headphone jack. However, if Realme is aiming for a similar profile as the MacBook Air, then we can expect two additional Type-C ports on the right side along with an audio out.
Which operating system runs on Realme Book laptop?
Realme Book laptop is expected to run on Windows 10 out-of-the-box but it will be ready to run Windows 11 when it arrives later this year. Moreover, Realme has teased that the Realme Book will be upgradeable to Windows 11 following Microsoft’s rollout schedule.
