Realme was started as a sub-brand of OPPO for budget smartphones in the Indian market but has now become an independent brand. It is no longer limited to smartphones and has expanded its presence to several other categories.

The company keeps launching new products every now and then. Now, the Chinese brand is gearing up to enter a new product category with the launch of its first-ever laptop which has now been officially teased by Madhav Sheth, CEO of Realme India and Europe.

The teaser image shows that the laptop from Realme will have a metal build and silver color that seems too similar to the MacBook lineup from Apple. Apart from that, nothing more has been revealed by the company so far. Along with the teaser, Madhav Sheth has shared a message in binary code, which reads out the phrase “Hello World!”

A couple of months ago, it was revealed that Realme could soon be launching several new products in the market, including a MeowBook laptop, Meow AI speaker, and Meow VR glasses. This means that the upcoming laptop, which has been teased by the company, could be named MeowBook.

It remains to be seen if the laptops are powered by Intel or AMD chips. We are expecting multiple RAM and storage configurations for the upcoming device. Given that none of Realme’s parent or sister companies make laptops, it’s most likely that the brand will be relying on ODMs. One thing is for sure that the notebook will run Windows 10 operating system out-of-the-box.

Earlier this year, reports indicated that the Realme laptop could be launched in June this year and in line with that, the teaser of the laptop has now been unveiled by the company. Going by this, the official launch could be just a few days or weeks away.

Realme seems to be following the strategy of Xiaomi and Redmi which have entered almost all categories of consumer electronics. Once launched, the Realme laptop will compete against the likes of Mi Notebook and RedmiBook with competitive pricing.

Before the year 2021 begun, realme vowed to launch more than 100 AIoT products this year. Accordingly, the company has expanded its portfolio and launched several products like smart scale, smart LED bulb. Now, it is expanding further with MeowBook laptop, Meow AI speaker, and Meow VR glasses.

realme’s realmeow was unveiled as a mascot and was said that it would be in the company’s marketing materials and also be an integral part of the design of products. Now, it looks like the company is launching Smart AI products with the ‘Meow’ on it.

To clear you up, realme TechLife and an account with ‘realme Pakistan’ name on it have posted teasers on Twitter about the upcoming products in April. These include realme’s MeowBook laptop, Meow AI speaker, and Meow VR glasses. Speaking of which, this is not the first time we hear about realme laptops.

Earlier in January, Tech influencer Mukul Sharma said that realme laptops would hit the market as soon as June 2021. However, the company seems to have jumped the timeline and bring it in April. In the teaser page, we see that the laptop has Meow logo with a brushed finish and Black color.

Inside, we see the keyboard which we aren’t sure if it would have the backlit on it. On the side, there are power pin and USB-A ports. Apart from this, we don’t have any other info about the AI speaker or the VR glasses yet.

Smart speaker segment crossed 1 million shipments in 2020 in India and it is understandable that realme wants to grab a bite for itself this year. Let’s wait for more details in the coming days.
