印度首富穆克什·安巴尼旗下的Reliance Jio公司正在扩展其云PC服务JioPC，使其面向所有印度互联网用户开放1。这项原本仅限于Jio宽带用户的服务现已转变为独立订阅产品，旨在无需硬件升级即可将老旧电脑转变为AI就绪机器1。该服务于2025年7月首次推出1，订阅价格包括₹1,000（约11美元）用于两个月，₹4,000（约42美元）用于12个月（8GB/500GB配置），以及₹5,000（约53美元）用于12个月（16GB/1TB配置）1。
JioPC最高提供8个虚拟CPU、16GB RAM和1TB存储1，Jio声称该服务可使8年前的电脑具备运行现代AI应用的计算能力1。这一举措应对了印度PC市场面临的更新周期延长问题：据IDC分析，印度消费者和中小企业PC更换周期已从2022年的4-5年延长至5-6年1。当前印度PC安装基数超过6500万台，包括3400万消费类和3100万商用机器，预计2026年底接近6900万台1。CyberMedia Research副总裁Prabhu Ram评价称，"Jio通过向非Jio用户开放JioPC，同时挑战传统硬件升级周期"1。
不过JioPC需要稳定的互联网连接才能工作，与传统电脑相比缺乏离线使用能力1。
Reliance Jio, the telecom subsidiary of Mukesh Ambani's conglomerate, has expanded its cloud PC service JioPC beyond its original user base to become available to all Indian internet users 1. Launched in July 2025 initially for Jio broadband subscribers only, the service now operates as an independent subscription offering that enables users to transform older computers into AI-capable machines without requiring hardware upgrades 1.
The service provides virtual configurations of up to 8 CPU cores, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage, with Jio claiming that machines as old as eight years can gain the computational capacity to run modern AI applications 1. Monthly subscription pricing starts at approximately $11 for entry-level plans, with options including ₹1,000 (approximately $11) for two months at 8GB/500GB, ₹4,000 (approximately $42) for 12 months at 8GB/500GB, and ₹5,000 (approximately $53) for 12 months at 16GB/1TB 1. According to Prabhu Ram, Vice President at CyberMedia Research, Jio is simultaneously challenging traditional hardware replacement cycles while expanding access beyond its existing subscriber base 1.
The expansion addresses a shifting PC replacement market in India, where the installed base exceeded 65 million devices in 2025, comprising 34 million consumer and 31 million commercial machines, with projections approaching 69 million by the end of 2026 1. Research from IDC indicates that the device replacement cycle for Indian consumers and small-to-medium businesses has lengthened from four to five years in 2022 to five to six years currently 1. However, the service requires a stable internet connection to function, limiting its utility compared to traditional computers that can operate offline 1.
