Starting December 18th, this Flipkart-exclusive Nokia PureBook X14 will be available for preorders at a price of $815 (₹59,990). Clad in a matte black finish, the Nokia PureBook X14 comes with Windows 10 Home Plus OS pre-installed and HD IR webcam with Windows Hello Facial Recognition.

Nokia Laptop: What’s Your Opinion?
By launching Nokia PureBook X14 notebook in the Indian market, Nokia wants to regain its lost market. With the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a good rise in the sales of laptops and thus the Indian PC market registered recorded an impressive growth rate of 9.2% in Q3 of 2020.
As per the IDC Market Research report, over 70% of the Indian PC market is dominated by HP, Lenovo and Dell. Let’s hope Nokia makes its re-entry a memorable one.
Instead of just relying on Intel SoC, Nokia should have released a Ryzen version too. As per the industry experts, the Nokia PureBook X14 notebook is slightly overpriced. The company should consider the manufacturers like Asus and Acer who provide similarly configured machines at a much lower price.
