BBK Electronics is the parent company of smartphone brands like OnePlus and Oppo. Over the years, it has become a colossal presence in the smartphone space. Realme launch a sub-brand to the sub-brand to expand into the home ecosystem. This Realme Book laptop seems like another step towards diversification.

Realme isn’t being too subtle about the MacBook inspiration. Realme’s India and Europe CEO recently teased the Realme Book on Twitter, giving a tiny glimpse at the product. You can see the laptop peeking out of an office envelope. The office envelope gimmick has been running since the first MacBook Air reveal in 2008. Steve Jobs pulled out the MacBook Air from a similar envelope at the reveal.
The photos show off the aluminum body and super-thin bezels. The device also sees dual speaker grilles under the body, which means stereo speakers will be on board. This is clearly a Windows laptop, and given Realme’s pricing history, we can expect it to be priced competitively.
The big difference here seems to be the 3:2 aspect ratio screen. The company is likely to market this screen aspect ratio as the key selling point for this laptop, in addition to the slim bezels. USB-C charging could also be present in the Realme Book, although there is no reliable confirmation on that yet. The features are also likely to vary according to the configuration variants Realme releases.
BBK’s Realme has a strong presence in India, among other markets like China, other parts of Southeast Asia, and Europe. It’s unlikely this laptop or tablet will ever hit US shores. However, BBK replicates its products under its different sub-brands.
The exact date of the laptop and tablet’s release are not known yet but the photos were clearly taken at the location of the Realme GT 5G launch which is scheduled for June 15 at 1 pm UTC+1 – if you want to watch that event live you can do so on Realme’s YouTube channel.
