There was a time when nokia It was one of the most powerful brands in the mobile phone industry and the devices from this manufacturer were a must for the market.
Things changed in a serious way with the birth of the smartphone, and the decision to stick with its limited mobile operating system, Symbian, ended up dooming the company’s future to a large degree.
Eventually Nokia collapsed, the deal ended and all of its assets ended up being auctioned off to the highest bidder, including the brand.
Since then we have begun to see a kind of “resurrection” of Nokia, although in reality behind that logo there are, invariably, a different series of companies that manufacture products under a popular name and positioned among a certain sector of consumers.
It is under this dynamic that months ago at Mobile World Congress 2022 the first reports emerged that we would soon see a laptop with this brand. And the threat was real.
This is the Nokia PureBook
Every Nokia-branded Android smartphone currently circulating in the market is not manufactured directly by the company we all know. That one is already dead.
The phones are actually developed by the firm HMDS who owns part of the rights to the use of the Nokia trademark.
And now the same scenario is about to be repeated in the laptop market with the French company Off Global, which has just launched the official Web site for its new line of Nokia PureBook laptops.
As with smartphones, it is a product that will use the rights to the logo to distribute the product.
But it is likely that its hardware configuration will not make history to position this line of laptops as an obligatory reference in the sector.
In essence we will have five models of this computer:
- Nokia PureBook Lite 15
- Nokia PureBook Lite 14
- Nokia PureBook Fold 14
- Nokia PureBook Pro 17
- Nokia PureBook Pro 15
But in reality each one of them is a mystery, since the site has not provided further details about its hardware, so we only know the specifications of the first model hinted at in the days of MWC 22.
This laptop had a 15.6-inch Full HD screen and 250 nits. Inside it ran under a modest Intel Core i3-1220P processor, with 8 GB of RAM, 512 GB on its SSD and a fingerprint reader for security unlocks.
The website promises a wide range of models, but what is known so far looks pretty ordinary.
