Realme Book laptop confirmed to debut on August 18

Realme Book, the company’s first laptop now has a launch date. Realme has confirmed that it is launching the Realme Book on August 18 in China. Realme has also teased the design of the Realme Book on Weibo where it posted a picture of the upcoming laptop. The Realme laptop will launch during the 828 fan festival in China on August 18 at 3:00 PM local time.

Realme took to Weibo to announce the release date of the Realme Book after multiple leaks and rumours these past months. It also showed off the laptop ahead of the launch and it looks in line with the earlier leaked renders. The Realme Book laptop has clearly taken some inspiration from the Apple MacBook Air when it comes to design.

Earlier this week, the Realme TechLife Twitter handle posted a video confirming Type C charging on the Realme Book Slim which could be another model in the Realme Book series. Having said that, there is no word on the exact launch date of either the Realme Book or Realme Book Slim in India yet. We expect it to arrive in India after its global unveil.

Some of the rumoured specs include the Core i5-1135G7 processor, paired with upto 16GB RAM and 512GB storage and a 14-inch 2K display. 

Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth has previously said that the company’s first laptop will be targeted towards college students and young professionals. The expected price of the Realme Book is anywhere between Rs 40,000 to Rs 60,000 depending on the configuration offered as it looks to take on the Xiaomi Mi Notebook 14 range in India.
