JioBook 4G Unboxing and First Impressions⚡The Cheapest Laptop…TESTED!😲
A report by Reuters reveals that the JioBook will cost around Rs 15,000 (~$184) and will come with 4G support. The idea is to provide a laptop experience on a budget like the telco did with its affordable 4G enabled JioPhone Next introduced last year.
Sources close to the matter reveal that Jio has partnered with Qualcomm and Microsoft for the same. So we can expect a Snapdragon chip to power the laptop and Windows OS to handle the software part. To recall, earlier the JioBook was expected to run Android with the option of 'JioOS' skin on top.
As for the launch timeline, the JioBook is said to reach schools and government institutes this month and should be available to everyone in the next three months. So we can expect an official launch in early 2023. The 5G JioPhone is also expected to launch at the same time. To recall, it was announced last year at the Jio AGM as well, but we are still expecting more information about it.
