Realme Book (Slim) Laptop Review: Performant Tiger Lake Core i3 offering with a 3:2 2K display

Slim, but in fine fettle. The Realme Book (Slim) is the company's attempt at a capable all-rounder that can handle basic office and multimedia tasks. We have the Core i3 version of the Realme Book (Slim) with us, and we test it out extensively to see whether Realme's laptop debut is worth your consideration.

Realme, once focused on smartphones, has now branched into several niches including laptops. Realme recently launched the Slim series of laptops in India that are available in Core i3 and Core i5 options.

We have with us the Realme Book (Slim) powered by the Core i3-1115G4. Our sample also sports 8 GB RAM, a 256 GB SSD, and currently retails for ₹44,999 (US$600). Core i5-1135G7 option is available as well, which comes with 8 GB RAM and 512 GB storage. This will set you back by ₹56,999 (US$762).

In this review, we take a good look at the Realme Book (Slim) Core i3 and see whether the company's baby steps in the laptop niche are heading in the right direction.

Case: A great first impression

Realme has got chassis construction largely right with the Book (Slim). The sleek, unibody design with minimal distractions will appeal to many. There is not much branding on the device except for the lid and the bottom bezel.

The aluminum body at 1.38 kg does not feel like a burden at all. The design language is unmistakably reminiscent of a MacBook Air right from the packaging to the chassis, which is not a bad thing per se. There are no sharp corners and the whole design feels cohesive, which is a great for a first attempt from Realme. 

A minor quirk is that the lid cannot be opened with just one finger.

Connectivity: Dongles required

The Realme Book (Slim) offers a very barebones port selection with just two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C ports on the left and a USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A port along with a 3.5 mm combo audio jack on the right. Those opting for the Core i5 variant stand to get Thunderbolt 4 functionality in one of the Type-C ports. 

There is ample spacing between the two Type-C ports, so inserted connectors will not block the adjacent port.

Unfortunately, there is no microSD card reader or a Kensington lock slot available.

Communication

The Intel Wireless-AC 9560 WLAN card is user-replaceable
The Intel Wireless-AC 9560 WLAN card is user-replaceable

Realme offers the Intel Wireless-AC 9560 WLAN card with Bluetooth 5.1 for the Core i3 variant while the Core i5 version offers Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.

We tested Wi-Fi performance with our reference Netgear Nighthawk AX12 RAX120 router at a distance of 1 m from the laptop in direct line of sight. The download and upload speeds are good, and the Realme Book can compete well with other devices sporting newer Wi-Fi 6 AX200 and AX201 cards.

The WLAN card can be upgraded to a more performant option if preferred.

Webcam

The webcam is of the regular 0.9 MP variety seen in the vast majority of laptops. There is perceivable grain, but the color reproduction and sharpness are decent considering the price.

The webcam is serviceable for general video calls as long as there's sufficient ambient light.

Security

The Realme Book (Slim) is eligible to receive the Windows 11 update.
The Realme Book (Slim) is eligible to receive the Windows 11 update.

The Realme Book features a fingerprint sensor built into the power button that is compatible with Windows Hello.

We faced no issues while setting up or using the fingerprint sensor, and it was quite responsive as well.

The laptop features a discrete TPM 2.0 and is ready for Windows 11.

Accessories

There are no additional accessories in the box apart from the usual paperwork and a 65 W charger.

Maintenance

There is no dedicated maintenance hatch. The bottom panel can be pried open by removing the nine Torx T5 screws to expose the internals.

While the LPDDR4X RAM comes soldered, the Wi-Fi card and NVMe SSD can be swapped out if required.

Warranty

Realme offers a standard one-year warranty for the Realme Book (Slim). Extended warranty service in India is provided by a Servify, a third-party provider. Customers can purchase an extended warranty plan during checkout or opt-in manually within 270 days of purchase by mailing their purchase invoice copy to [email protected]

Input Devices: MacBook Air-like and done just right

Keyboard

The Realme Book (Slim) offers a surprisingly good typing experience. The keys are well-spaced and the 1.3 mm key travel feels just about right. The keys have a three-stage backlight control - dim, bright, and off — and the font is clear to read.

One minor quibble is that there is no marking of Home and End keys on the left and right arrow keys, though the functionality is very much present. There are no dedicated keys for any kind of one-tap performance boosts.

Touchpad

At 12.5 cm x 7.5 cm, the Realme Book (Slim)'s touchpad offers enough space to glide around with negligible friction. Windows Precision gestures are easy to activate and are responsive. The whole touchpad acts as a mouse button. Clicking the touchpad is relatively effortless, and the click sound isn't too loud either.

Overall, Realme seems to have been hugely inspired by the MacBook Air's input devices leaving little room for complaint.

The keyboard and touchpad offer a great input experience.

Display: Bright 2K panel with good colors and high PWM

Our test unit came with a 14-inch 2160x1440 panel with a 3:2 aspect ratio and a 90% screen-to-body ratio. Realme has included a very capable display with the Book (Slim) that should be suitable for viewing most content types. With a long exposure time, we see that the backlight bleeding is more significant towards the right corners.

Despite the seemingly budget price, the Realme Book (Slim)'s display offers very good characteristics. Previously, we have seen this Chi Mei P140ZKA-BZ1 panel also perform well in the Huawei MateBook 14 and the Chuwi CoreBook X. We measured a maximum brightness of 403.52 nits and an excellent distribution of 91%.

The Realme Book covers 97.8% of the sRGB color gamut while also showing decent AdobeRGB and DCI-P3 coverage. Overall, this panel seems to be a good option for budget laptops with decent brightness levels and colors, which should allow for viewing all content types while also being suitable for casual multimedia editing workflows.

Out-of-the-box, the colors aren't very accurate with an average Delta E of 5.23 in ColorChecker. However, the Chi Mei P140ZKA-BZ1 panel allows enough scope for calibration. We could achieve an average Delta E of 0.62 and a maximum Delta E of 2.55, which bode well if you are into color-accurate workflows.

The Realme Book (Slim) is not meant to be a gaming device, so the recorded response times of 20.62 ms for black to white and 33.26 ms for 50% grey to 80% grey aren't surprising.

The panel has a very high PWM of 58,500 Hz at 10% brightness and this largely persists across most brightness levels. Though the panel uses PWM for brightness adjustment, the frequency is quite high so sensitive users should not experience any discomfort during prolonged use. 

For more information on PWM, check out our article, "Why Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is such a headache". Also, our PWM ranking table provides an overview of measured PWM and response times for all reviewed devices. 

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
20.62 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 11.52 ms rise
↘ 9.1 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 36 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (22.3 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
33.26 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 14.92 ms rise
↘ 18.34 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 36 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (35.2 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 58500 Hz ≤ 10 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 58500 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 10 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 58500 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18878 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The bright display ensures a decent, legible outdoor viewing experience. The display offers a 170°-wide viewing angle. We did not notice any color or brightness loss when viewed from various angles.

Performance: Beats AMD Ryzen 5 5500U in single-core

Our Realme Book (Slim) is powered by the Intel Tiger Lake Core i3-1115G4, which is a 2C/4T part with a base clock of 3 GHz and a boost of up to 4.1 GHz. Buyers also have the option of choosing a Core i5-1135G7 option as well. There is no discrete GPU provided in either model.

 
 

Processor

The Intel Core i3-1115G4 in the Realme Book (Slim) offers good sustained performance
The Intel Core i3-1115G4 in the Realme Book (Slim) offers good sustained performance

Our unit's Core i3-1115G4 offers good sustained performance in our Cinebench R15 sustained loop test. Though we see a consistent dip in the score for every fifth run or so, the processor is able to regain the original performance quickly. We also find that the Realme Book (Slim) is about 32% faster in this test than the Dell Inspiron 15 5502 featuring the same processor.

The Core i3-1115G4 is also on par with the Core i5-1135G7 in the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 in most single-core tests and is even 12% faster than the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U-powered Lenovo IdeaPad 5.

The CPU offers a sustained PL1 of 28 W and a short burst PL2 of 64 W. On battery, the PL2 drops to about 45.25 W. There is no dedicated button to switch various performance modes, so you will have to rely on the performance slider offered by Windows.

Cinebench R20 on battery shows reduced single-core performance
Cinebench R20 on battery shows reduced single-core performance

We do not find much variation in multi-core scores in a quick Cinebench R20 run on battery. However, the reduced PL2 and clocks result in a 20% decrease in the single-score score.

Real-world performance on the move may take some hit but should be overall comparable to performance on mains power depending on the workload.

Check out our dedicated Core i3-1115G4 page for more information and benchmarks.

System Performance

The Realme Book (Slim) should cover basic productivity needs including Office, web browsing, and media consumption without much hassle. The overall PCMark 10 score is just about 5% slower than a Core i5-1135G7-powered Lenovo Yoga Slim 7.

DPC Latency

We measured DPC latency using LatencyMon. Our test included opening multiple tabs of our site, playing back our sample 4K video on YouTube, and running Prime95 in-place large FFTs stress for about 10 seconds.

Till the time we ran the YouTube video test, we measured the highest interrupt to process latency to be 588.90 µs. This value increased to 670.4 µs after running Prime95. The main cause for this increased latency seems to be the Windows Driver Mode Framework, Wdf01000.sys. Wdf01000.sys does not contribute to high latency on its own but is actually influenced by other errant drivers, such as ACPI.sys in this case.

Still, the Realme Book's DPC latency is comparably lower than the competition and should be easily amenable for the targeted use cases.

Check out our DPC Latency Ranking page for more latency comparisons.

Storage Devices

The Samsung PM991a SSD seems to be bottlenecked by the CPU or the motherboard
The Samsung PM991a SSD seems to be bottlenecked by the CPU or the motherboard

Our device came with a Samsung PM991a 256 GB PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSD that takes up the only available M.2 2280 slot on the motherboard. Therefore, any storage expansion would mean fully replacing the stock drive.

The Samsung PM991a is actually rated for a sequential read of 3,100 MB/s and a sequential write of 1,300 MB/s. However, we measured significantly lower sequential reads and writes indicating some bottleneck from the CPU or the board. Interestingly, we observed similar results in the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G2 as well, which uses a similar SSD.

Increasing the queue depth does result in increased read and write speeds as expected, but this generally does not find much applicability in conventional use.

That being said, the 4K reads and writes are comparable to the competition, so random disk access should not be impacted much and the overall experience still feels quite responsive.

We also didn't not observe any throttling of the SSD during a continuous DiskSpd read loop at a queue depth of 8.

Check out our SSD and HDD Benchmarks page for more storage performance comparisons.

3DMark Time Spy performance is mostly unaffected on battery
3DMark Time Spy performance is mostly unaffected on battery

The UHD Graphics Xe G4 is also comparable to the Iris Xe Graphics G7 (80 EUs) except in 3DMark Time Spy Graphics and 3DMark 11 Performance Graphics tests, where it lags behind by 25% and 18%, respectively.

3DMark Time Spy results remain relatively unchanged when switched to battery power.

Gaming Performance

The UHD Graphics Xe G4 is only suited for playing older titles at low resolutions and low settings. That being said, we do find it to be faster than the same GPU in the Dell Inspiron 5502. At low to medium settings, the Realme Book is also on par or slightly faster than the RX Vega 7 in the Ryzen 5 5500U.

Though hardly playable, we do not find much throttling in The Witcher 3 1080p Ultra stress test.
