Moto Book 60 and Moto Pad 60 Pro Set
Motorola, now owned by Lenovo, is ready to make its laptop debut in India. The company has announced that the Moto Book 60 and Moto Pad 60 Pro will launch on April 17. This move marks Motorola’s entry into the computing space, a big step for a brand known mostly for smartphones.
The company has chosen Bollywood’s Rasha Thadani as the face of this launch campaign. With Flipkart and leading offline stores as sales partners, Motorola aims to reach a wide Indian audience.
Moto Book 60: A Lightweight Contender with OLED Charm
The Moto Book 60 is expected to feature a 14-inch 2.8K OLED display. The screen will support up to 500 nits of brightness, which is promising for indoor and outdoor use. That said, we’ll need real-world use to judge how well it handles sunlight glare.
Weighing just 1.4 kg, the laptop is built for portability. It will reportedly run on an Intel processor, though Motorola hasn’t revealed which specific chip yet. That makes it a bit difficult to guess the exact performance you can expect.
On the connectivity front, the Moto Book 60 will support smart connect features, file transfer, and a smart clipboard, all of which can help those who often work across multiple devices. These features suggest that Motorola is pushing for seamless integration across its ecosystem—just like Apple and Samsung have done in recent years.
Battery and Build: What to Expect?
A 65 Whr battery is expected inside the Moto Book 60. While that sounds decent on paper, actual battery life will depend on how well the system manages power. Given the OLED screen, battery optimization will be key. It may not be ideal for heavy users if the chip and thermal management aren’t efficient.
Aesthetically, Motorola is taking a bold route. The Moto Book 60 will be available in Pantone-certified Bronze Green and Wedge Good colors. It’s a rare move in the laptop market, which mostly sticks to greys and blacks. This could appeal to young professionals and students looking for something a bit different.
Moto Pad 60 Pro: A New Android Tablet Option
Alongside the laptop, Motorola is also bringing in the Moto Pad 60 Pro. While details are still not official, it’s expected to offer a 12.7-inch display with a 144 Hz refresh rate. A screen like that can provide smooth visuals for gaming and content consumption.
It is likely to feature a MediaTek Dimensity processor and a battery over 10,000 mAh. That could give it an edge in battery life compared to other tablets in its price range. However, MediaTek chips vary widely in performance, so final verdicts should wait until after testing.
What This Launch Means for Motorola and Buyers?
This is a bold new chapter for Motorola. But stepping into the laptop and tablet market comes with challenges. Indian consumers have multiple choices from established players like HP, Lenovo, and Xiaomi in this price and spec range.
For buyers, the Moto Book 60 offers fresh design, OLED visuals, and portability. However, Motorola will need to prove itself on things like software support, thermal performance, and build quality — especially since this is its first attempt.
Similarly, while the Moto Pad 60 Pro looks like a strong entertainment device on paper, its success will depend on pricing, accessories (like keyboard and stylus), and software support.
Final Thoughts
Motorola’s laptop and tablet announcement adds energy to India’s gadget market. If the pricing is competitive, both the Moto Book 60 and Moto Pad 60 Pro could attract students, creators, and casual users.
But as with any first-gen product, cautious optimism is key. Wait for full reviews and hands-on insights before deciding to buy. Motorola might just surprise the market—or it may need a second try to truly get things right.
