Jio has been in the news for launching an affordable laptop since last year. We recently got to know that the JioBook will be an affordable offering with support for 4G. Turns out this has finally come true as JioBook is now official in India which is available on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) website. Check out the price, features and specifications below.
JioBook: A nightmare!
The site list shows JioBook in blue. With an ABS plastic construction, the laptop is seen with a minimal design with just the Jio logo on the lid. The screen has significantly thicker frames. It is an 11.6-inch LED screen with a screen resolution of 1366×768 pixels.
As previously rumored, the laptop is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset, along with 2GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage. It remains to be seen if this is the only RAM+Storage configuration we'll see or if more will be introduced when the laptop goes live for everyone. There is support for an HD webcam. It is backed by a 55.1Wh battery, which is claimed to last up to 8 hours on a single charge.
There is support for 4G, Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth version 5.0. Port options include a USB 2.0 port, a USB 3.0 port, an HDMI port, a combo port, and an SD card slot. In addition, the laptop has touchpad with multi-touch gestures enabled, dual speakers and dual microphones. The JioBook runs JioOS, although yesterday's report suggested Windows OS.
