If you’re on a tight budget, the JioBook 11 laptop from Reliance Retail can be a nice way to connect to the internet for work or entertainment purposes. Yes, there are certain trade-offs in a low-cost machine, like a smaller screen size, limited storage and a slower processor; however, the JioBook 11 doesn’t disappoint one bit. It is ultra-compact and is similar to a PC, hence no learning is required. The company positions it as a learning book with its advanced features and seamless connectivity options, and is designed for all ages.
Appearance-wise, the JioBook is an attractive piece of equipment in Blue colour that is soothing to the eye. It features a stylish design with matte-finish and an ultra slim body. It is lightweight at just under a kilogram. The laptop is equipped with a 11.6-inch anti-glare HD screen and runs on an octa-core chipset (Mediatek MT 8788 Octa Core 2.0 Ghz). It has its own JioOS (based on Android platform) with features like 4G-LTE and dual-band Wi-Fi capabilities, extended display, intuitive interface, 75+ keyboard shortcuts, trackpad gestures, wireless printing and multitasking screens. JioOS features a user-friendly and familiar interface. There is almost eight hours of battery life.
The laptop offers compatibility for well-known apps such as Netflix, Microsoft Teams and WhatsApp, along with others. You can access educational content on JioTV or JioGames for cloud gaming. JioOS lets you dive into your tasks with confidence and efficiency.
Overall, the JioBook is a sleek, compact and a well-equipped machine with decent performance and flashy features at a reasonable price. I found its display quite bright and attractive for web browsing or streaming a movie, the keyboard is nice with spaced out keys, and there is reliable battery life too.
