Top 5 features of the realme Book

Top 5 highlights of the realme Book

realme Book has a great design

1. Premium build and design - The realme Book feels and looks premium out of the box. It has an all-aluminum body which gives it the rigidity and heft expected for a premium laptop. It has two colors in Real Grey and Real Blue. 

It has minimal realme branding aside from the lone logo at the lid. It also has a chiclet-style keyboard and a touchpad that is larger than the average you see on other devices. Overall, it looks great and it seems to have taken design cues from Apple's MacBooks which is a great design inspiration to have.

2. 1440p QHD display - The realme Book features a 14-inch IPS screen with 2160 x 1440 QHD resolution. 3:2 aspect ratio, and 185 ppi pixel density. It has slim bezels all around too for a more streamlined look. The 3:2 aspect ratio is a taller aspect ratio which is a popular solution to provide more vertical screen real estate for productivity.

3. Work-ready specs - The realme Book features up to a 4.2GHz 10nm 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 quad-core processor with Intel Iris Xe graphics. It also has 8GB LPDDR4X at 4,266MHz, and up to a 512GB PCIe SSD. These specs are powerful enough to help you multitask every day for school and work.

65W PD Super Fast Charge technology and more

4. Up to date features - Out of the box, it is running Windows 10 Home. We might expect it to receive the FREE Windows 11 upgrade but we will update you once that is confirmed. 

For other features, it has WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, Thunderbolt 4 connection (for the i5 model), 65W PD Super-Fast Charge technology, fingerprint scanner, 2x Harman Kardon stereo speakers, and dual-fan Storm Cooling System.

5. Competitive pricing - The realme Book is priced at just PHP 37,990 for the Intel Core i3 variant while the Intel Core i5 variant is priced at just PHP 47,990.
