The Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED delivers a stunning 17.3-inch OLED display and versatile laptop/monitor modes, but its heavy weight, clunky kickstand, and high price limit its appeal to niche users.

“More a costly proof-of-concept than a laptop you'd consider buying, Asus' Zenbook 17 Fold OLED is a step forward in PC design that will hopefully lead to future development.”

“I would describe the Asus Zenbook 17 Fold as the ideal ambassador for the folding laptop. It’s far from perfect, nor does its Taiwanese PC maker expect to sell it in droves, given its astronomical $3500 price tag.”

“An impressive proof‑of‑concept for Asus, the Zenbook 17 Fold OLED delivers a gorgeous foldable OLED display with booming speakers that make watching movies feel great, but there have been sacrifices to achieve this innovative design – and it simply costs too much money for me to easily recommend it.”

“It does not work well enough that I think you should spend a whole $3,499.99 on it when it ships in (per Asus’ estimate) Q4.”
