Reliance Jio Reportedly Working on a ‘Cloud’ Laptop for India, in Talks with HP, Acer and Lenovo
Reliance Jio, the company led by Mukesh Ambani, is reportedly looking to launch a ‘cloud’ laptop in India to make a powerful laptop more affordable and accessible. According to a report by Economic Times, Jio is in discussions with manufacturers such as HP, Acer, and Lenovo to bring this innovative laptop to the market. The aim is to reduce the ownership cost for consumers.
The company has already introduced two affordable laptops in India, including the JioBook. Now, the focus is on creating a laptop that will allow users to access powerful hardware and storage at a more reasonable price point. Jio is working on offering the laptop as a “dumb terminal,” which will connect to the company’s JioCloud for processing and storage, eliminating the need for expensive hardware on the machine itself.
The performance and storage of the cloud laptop will be managed by JioCloud, and an active internet connection will be required to access the data. This approach removes the need for high-end processors and expensive storage on the laptop. Jio is expected to charge a monthly subscription fee for the service, although details about the subscription plans are yet to be revealed.
Users who already have a desktop or smart TV may also be able to access the cloud service without purchasing the laptop. This move could significantly change the landscape of the laptop market in India, making advanced technology more accessible to a wider audience.
In addition to the cloud laptop development, Jio has been working on various initiatives to expand its offerings across different sectors, including telecom, technology, and e-commerce. With the potential launch of the ‘cloud’ laptop, Jio aims to strengthen its position as a key player in the digital space in India.
