Realme Book Slim review: A slim entry with a dose of style and substance

Book Slim marks Realme’s entry into the Indian laptop market. It is powered by an 11th Gen Intel Core i5 processor and the price range starts at Rs 46,999. The aluminium alloy body is also the lightest in its segment, weighing just 1.3 kg. Its smooth matte finish flap and interiors give it a premium look, and the device comes in Real Blue and Real Grey colours.

The laptop has a brushed exterior which keeps fingerprints at bay for that professional touch. The Realme Book Slim has a backlit keyboard with 1.3 mm key travel, hard to find in this price range.

It is equipped with a big keycap and Smile Arc that fits your fingertips perfectly.


There is also a large trackpad that offers more control to users. The display is a 14-inch 2K Full Vision one with a peak brightness of 400 nits. It is surrounded by narrow bezels for a more immersive and effective visual experience.

The display reproduces colours accurately and its 3:2 aspect ratio is perfect for reading. Its two stereo speakers are powered by Harman Kardon, providing clear sound without distortion. There is a fingerprint reader embedded in the power button. The laptop worked fine both while multi-tasking as well as casual gaming sessions.

The Realme Book Slim runs Windows 10 Home operating system and will soon get a Windows 11 update. The laptop comes with a 54 Wh battery and uses a Thunderbolt 4 port for charging. It has a 65W fast charger to go from 0 to 50% in just 30 minutes.

It managed to churn out 10 hours of battery backup on a single charge.

Its sleek and lightweight design, bright display and long-lasting battery work well for the Realme Book Slim.
