Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED: All the details

Sporting a unique foldable design, the Asus Zenbook 17 Fold offers users 2 display choices: a large 17.3-inch OLED touchscreen with an aspect ratio of 4:3 which can be folded to produce two 12.3-inch displays with an aspect ratio of 3:2. Asus claims the hinge has been tested to withstand 30,000 open and shut cycles. The versatility of the display allows the laptop to be used in several different modes: Desktop, Laptop (with Bluetooth keyboard), Laptop (with Virtual keyboard), Tablet, Reader, and Extended.

The Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED comes with two Thunderbolt 4 ports that are capable of supporting a 4k display output, 40Gbps data transfer, and charging. The Type-C ports can support up to 65W of fast charging as well. The audio on the Zenbook 17 fold has been tuned by Harmon-Kardon and comes with Dolby Atmos certification. 

Moving on, the Zenbook 17 Fold is equipped with state-of-the-art security features. The Asus Adaptive Lock powered by Intel’s Visual Sensing Controller uses the HD infrared camera to dim or lock the screen depending on the user’s proximity to it. The screen automatically dims if the user looks away, to conserve battery life. If the user walks away from the laptop, the screen automatically locks itself and only wakes up when the user returns.
