Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED review: the best foldable yet - The Verge

The Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED is a laptop with a 17.3-inch foldable screen, a gorgeous OLED panel, and a comfortable detachable keyboard. But it asks a lot of compromises for its high price of $3,499.99.

Ever since Samsung Display showed off a 17-inch foldable OLED screen last May, laptop enthusiasts (myself included) have been waiting for the form factor of the future to hit shelves. After all, many of even the most exciting laptop releases of this year have been updates to long-standing designs — a 17-inch foldable is one of the very few untouched frontiers remaining in this very established market.

Some of the biggest PC manufacturers either have announced that they are, or are rumored to be, working on 17-inch foldable laptops. But in a move that should come as a surprise to nobody who’s familiar with the company and its antics, Asus looks like it might be first to the punch. I’m typing this on the Zenbook 17 Fold OLED, which is the first shelf-ready device of its kind to hit reviewers’ hands. It’s a 17.3-inch laptop with a screen that folds in half. And people: it works.
