Reliance Jio has been rumored to working on a new budget laptop that supports LTE connectivity support. Now, a new report has revealed the possible pricing for the 4G enabled JioBook notebook as well as its launch timeline.
According to a Reuters report, the Indian company is planning on launching Jio’s laptop in India for a price tag under 15,000 INR. The new laptop will apparently be called the JioBook, with Reliance partnering with tech giants Qualcomm and Microsoft for the upcoming notebook. So under the hood, the laptop will have a chip from Qualcomm with Microsoft providing support for applications on the Reliance JioBook.
Notably, the report further adds that the new Jio laptop will be launched for enterprise customers later this month. In other words, the new laptop will be made available for educational and government institutions. On the other hand, the JioBook will be made commercially available for customers within the next three months. This would mean that the device will be releasing sometime by the end of this year. Although, Reliance has yet to confirm any of this information.
Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take this report with a pinch of salt for now. Notably, the JioBook will be made locally in India by contract manufacturer Flex with Jio aiming to sell “hunders of thousands” of units by March of next year, as per one of the sources. This laptop will also run on Jio’s proprietary JioOS operating system and apps can be downloaded from the JioStore.
