Imagine turning your living room television into a powerful computer, capable of handling everything from online classes to professional design work, all without buying an expensive new machine. This futuristic vision has now become a reality for millions across India with the launch of Reliance Jio’s groundbreaking JioPC. As India’s first AI-powered cloud PC, this service aims to make high-end computing accessible and affordable, transforming the digital landscape.
Launched in late July 2025, JioPC is not just another tech product – it’s a new way to use computing. With just a Jio Set-Top Box, a keyboard, and a mouse, you can start using your television as a complete PC. The actual computing happens on powerful cloud servers, so your local setup doesn’t need high-end hardware. This makes it much more affordable and accessible for families, students, professionals, and small businesses.
How JioPC Works: Cloud Power in Your Living Room
JioPC runs on a virtual machine hosted in the cloud, powered by Intel Xeon hardware, giving users speeds of up to 1 Gbps. The system boots up in seconds and feels like a regular PC, as long as you have a good internet connection.
Here’s what you get with each JioPC login:
- 4 virtual CPUs for smooth processing
- 8 GB RAM for multitasking
- 100 GB cloud storage, upgradeable to 512 GB
- Ubuntu Linux OS, known for its reliability and security
Operating on Ubuntu Linux OS, JioPC provides a versatile and secure environment suitable for a wide range of activities. Whether you’re browsing the internet, engaging in online learning, diving into programming, working on design projects, or tackling various productivity tasks, JioPC is designed to handle it all efficiently.
Budget-Friendly Plans for Everyone
What makes JioPC more attractive is its low monthly cost. Plans start from around ₹400 to ₹599 per month (plus GST), with discounts on long-term subscriptions. You don’t have to spend ₹40,000–₹50,000 on a new PC anymore – just pay monthly and get regular updates with no maintenance worries.
What Software Do You Get?
JioPC comes preloaded with LibreOffice, a full office suite. If you prefer Microsoft Office, you can use it via the browser. It also gives access to advanced AI tools like Adobe Express Premium and ChatGPT, which are great for students, creators, and professionals. Plus, the system has built-in cloud security to protect your data from viruses or malware.
Who Should Use JioPC?
JioPC is ideal for:
- Students who need a computer for online classes
- Remote workers looking for a reliable, low-cost work setup
- Small businesses who want to avoid high hardware expenses
- Families wanting a shared, secure, and affordable computing solution
Currently, JioPC is available only for JioFiber and Jio AirFiber users, and the app is already installed on all supported Jio Set-Top Boxes, making the setup easy.
What’s Next?
Reliance Jio has strategically targeted a broad audience with JioPC. It’s an ideal solution for students seeking an affordable device for online education and projects, remote workers needing a reliable platform for their jobs, and small businesses looking to scale their operations without heavy hardware investments. Households too can benefit from this cost-effective and scalable computing solution, eliminating the dependency on expensive physical PCs.
As of late July 2025, JioPC is now available nationwide, exclusively for JioFiber and Jio AirFiber customers. According to recent announcements from Reliance Jio, the JioPC app comes pre-installed on all eligible Jio set-top boxes, simplifying the setup process for new users. Jio is also committed to further enhancing the platform, with plans to expand the AI tool offerings integrated directly into the JioPC cloud environment. Network-level security has also seen enhancements, providing even better protection for home and small business users. While current limitations include no direct support for cameras, printers, USB, or Bluetooth peripherals, focusing mainly on browsing, office apps, online classes, and creative workflows, Jio’s continuous updates suggest future expansions. Jio also offers a one-month free trial, inviting users to experience the maintenance-free, always-updated computing power that automatically leverages its robust cloud infrastructure.
The introduction of JioPC marks a significant step towards democratising high-end computing in India. By removing the barrier of expensive hardware, Reliance Jio is empowering more individuals and businesses to access powerful computing resources, truly bringing the future of technology into every home.
