Jio has long been open about its interest in the Indian laptop market. Due to its surge in sales owing to the new normal, Jio is speedily launching the JioBook. Reliance is said to be actively working on the 'JioBook' that has all the advanced features that make up for a good laptop and is additionally banking on reasonability as its key aspect, too. The fact that they're venturing into this market isn't surprising as they've already mastered the goodwill of being experimentative.
Jio Working on Mide Range Laptop ‘JioBook’
According to XDA Developers, the development of the JioBook had already commenced in September 2020 and is expected to take up the first half of this year to come to shape. The device is expected to launch by the end of this year if it passes the Validation Test. A prototype image of the laptop was leaked earlier today. The laptop was of small-to-mid size, sleek black in colour and included a Windows key on its keyboard. However, the report was quick to clarify that the laptop is not associated with Windows in any way. Instead, the laptop is reportedly going to be Android-based but developed by Jio and is tentatively called JioOS. This is similar to Google's software when it had come up with ChromeOS for the Chromebook.

JioBook development began back in September 2020 and may continue through the first half of 2021. At the Engineering Validation Test stage, the JioBook had unfinalised hardware, including a recycled keyboard that has a Windows Key, as seen in the live image of the laptop. The laptop is expected to enter the PVT (Product Validation Test) by mid-April, meaning the final design may look closer to this. However, the Windows Key button should be swapped by another key. Furthermore, the laptop’s firmware suggests it will have a 1366×768 resolution display but the screen size isn’t clear. Bluebank has tested several iterations of JioBook during the development, including a model with 2GB LPDDR4X RAM and 32GB eMMC storage and another with 4GB RAM and 64GB eMMC 5.1 storage.
