The preview image, that has reportedly been published on Flipkart, shows the Motorola logo, outline of the laptop alongside the tagline “A BOLD NEW WORLD OF LAPTOPS. UNVEILING SOON.”

 

Motorola's parent, Lenovo, already offers a vast range of laptops like ThinkPad, IdeaPad, Yoga and Legion series in the country. Hence, there is a possibility that the anticipated Motorola laptops will share some specifications with an existing Lenovo laptop. Additionally, 91Mobiles stated that Motorola will likely partner with Dixon, the production partner of Lenovo, to make its laptops for the region.

It featured a 13.3-inch XGA touch display, was powered by Intel Pentium M coupled with 1GB RAM, and 80GB HDD storage.
