ASUS has presented the first laptop with a flexible screen

Technical characteristics of the novelty from ASUS


The model called Zenbook 17 Fold OLED was shown to the public at the international exhibition Computex 2023, where top brands brought their new products. Although for the first time the company announced plans to release such an interesting portable computer more than a year ago.

The advanced model promises to be incredibly comfortable to use. It has a display which is large enough: its diagonal is 17 inches. Organic Light Emitting Diod technology was used to create it. It is worth recalling that it allows you to achieve maximum saturation and contrast of colors.

ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold OLED impresses at first sight, especially when you learn it fully unfolded, because the laptop looks like a tablet, only gigantic in size. The aspect ratio is 4 to 3 on Windows.

The novelty from a well-known electronics manufacturer can be used in different modes. For example, having folded it completely, a wireless keyboard is connected to it, and then you can perform any tasks, like on a regular laptop, only with a giant display.

But it is not always convenient to use the model in the unfolded state, so the manufacturer also offers a normal mode of operation. By folding the display, the user gets a more compact gadget. The aspect ratio of the laptop in this case is 3 to 2, and the display will be 12.5 inches in size.

The “brain” of the device is the 12th generation Intel Core. With a smaller physical size compared to its predecessors, this CPU provides high performance. The manufacturer took care of the autonomy of the advanced laptop: on average, its battery lasts about 8 hours on a single charge.

Price and terms of sales


Announced at the January CES 2022 exhibition, the device turned out to be very expensive. Namely, its price starts at $3,500. However, the manufacturer promises that the technologies and solutions used guarantee the longest possible service life of equipment during intensive use. It is logical that special attention was paid to the reliability of the hinges, which are responsible for the integrity of the display when unfolded.

Having intrigued potential buyers, the manufacturer has not even hinted at the date of the start of sales. So it remains only to wait for a laptop with a flexible screen to appear in stores.
