The Indian telecommunication giant Jio unveiled its first-ever laptop, Jio book, at the India Mobile Congress earlier this month. After the announcement, the laptop went exclusively on sale on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) for Government employees only. After that, however, the listing on the GeM website revealed the complete specifications of the laptop.
The Jio Book is now available via the Reliance Digital e-commerce website. The listing also has images and complete specifications of the laptop, which gives us an idea of what one will get after the purchase. The device was available for Rs 19,500 on the GeM website. However, it will cost considerably less, Rs 15,799, on the Reliance Digital e-commerce platform. The company is targeting students with its aggressive pricing.
The Jio Book laptop features an 11.6-inch HD display with a 1366×768 pixels resolution. The device will run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset paired with Adreno 610 GPU. In addition, it offers 2GB RAM and 32GB eMMC storage that is expandable up to 128GB.
The Jio Book laptop will carry a 55.1 to 60 AH battery and will likely support 8+ hours of battery life on a single charge, which is reasonably good. There is also a passive cooling system installed for heat emission. Connectivity options on the device include 4G LTE (Jio network), Bluetooth 5.0, 1 HDMI mini, Wi-Fi, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
The laptop is part of the Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-reliant India) campaign and is made in India, with the class 1 division. It will cost Rs. 15,999, and buyers can avail of an instant discount of 10% with Axis, Kotak, ICICI, HDFC, AU, INDUSIND, DBS, Yes, and other major Bank Credit cards.
