Processor and Performance
The showrunner of realme Book is the latest Intel i5 11th generation quad-core processor with a turbo clock speed of 4.2GHz.
This CPU is efficient enough to deliver lag-free performance while consuming less power. The 8GB DDR4 RAM is no surprise at this price but when we saw the clocked frequency we were quite astonished.
The RAM is clocked at 4266MHz which is the fastest and as far as we know this type of RAM is only found in ultrabooks that cost more than Rs.70,000.
This higher clock frequency is advantageous as applications will run swiftly and you can switch between tasks without facing any lag or stutter.
The 512GB SSD inside improves the laptop performance with its excellent read and write speed. Apart from this, SSD provides silent operations while eating less power from the battery.
The Intel Iris Xe GPU assists the CPU to handle intensive-graphical tasks.
Display
This is where realme book leaves its competitors far behind.
The realme Book sports a 14-inch Quad HD IPS display with a resolution of 2160 x 1440 pixels.No, we are not mistaken it’s the truth that you are getting to experience a 2K display under the price of Rs.60,000.
The quality of visuals is so sharp and one more thing to add, that panel has 100% of sRGB which means the picture and text appear sharp and clean.
However, the display has a 3:2 aspect ratio so it will be taller and less wide which might not be good for media consumption but your taste might differ.
For work purposes, this is a perfect display. Thanks to the IPS technology, there is no colour shifting when you view the panel from an angle.
Miscellaneous
The Realme Book comes pre-installed with the Windows 10 Home OS and the good news is that brand has already announced that in the future, this laptop will get the Windows 11 update for free.
The tenkeyless backlit keyboard has a key travel distance of 1.3mm. It provides soft and silent typing feedback so if you like noise-free typing then this keyboard is just right for you.
The backlit underneath the keyboard will let you do work efficiently in low-light environments.
The trackpad is positioned in the centre and it registers the multi-finger gestures precisely. The power button doubles up as a fingerprint scanner for one-touch login.
Battery Life
The realme Book is powered by a 54Wh lithium battery and it will easily provide backup for up to 6 hours on a full charge.
The bundled 65W USB-C power adapter supports fast charging technology and it juices up the battery from 0 – 50% in just 30 minutes.
Verdict
The realme Book is just a perfect compact and lightweight notebook laptop for students and working professionals. It is completely feature-packed and for a price under Rs.60,000, you will not get any better deal than this one.
