OFF Global has introduced Nokia PureBook Pro 15.6 inches and 17.3 inches in the global markets and is soon expected to launch the same in the Indian markets.

The 15.6-inch model weighs around 1.7 kg which is acceptable but the 17.3-inch model weighs a whooping 2.5 kg which is massive as compared to laptops with similar specifications.
