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.

It’s been a while since we last heard about the JioBook. The laptop was previously spotted on Geekbench listing revealing its key specs. Now, the laptop has yet again arrived online, this time it got approved on a hardware certification.

The Reliance JioBook’s listing was first spotted by Mukul Sharma(via 91Mobiles) and it confirms the laptop’s OS. The laptop with model product ID: 400830078 boots on Windows 10 operating system.

Furthermore, the listing reveals the company name as Emdoor Digital Technology LTD, which hints that the laptop could be manufactured by this company, but could be launched under Reliance’s JioBook branding.

In terms of its other specs, the JioBook was previously spotted with 2GB of RAM. It scored 1,178 points in the single-core department and 4,246 points in the multi-core department. These scores are possible due to the MediaTek MT8788, under the hood.

Considering these specs, the JioBook seems to be a basic laptop in the market. The laptop also appeared on BIS earlier confirming its India launch. Unfortunately, the company hasn’t spoken a word about the laptop, but given that it has passed another certification, we can expect a sooner release.

In related news, the company is also expected to launch the JioPhone 5G soon in India. Some of its specs are a 6.5-inch IPS LCD display, 13MP dual cameras, and Snapdragon 480 chipset. The smartphone will come at an aggressive price in the country and offer five 5G bands.
