What are its main characteristics?
The Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED comes with a fairly light bluetooth keyboard that allows it to be used as a desktop computer. In this way, the user will be able to work or enjoy multimedia content in a large 17.3-inch touch screen with 2.5K resolution and an aspect ratio of 16:10.
Thanks to a 180° hinge, the huge screen can be folded to create two 12.5-inch screens with 1920 x 1280 resolution and 3:2 aspect ratio. In case you don’t like to use its touch keyboard, there is the possibility of placing the bluetooth keyboard on top of the lower screen and thus have a compact laptop.

It would also have Wi-Fi 6, two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports and a 75Wh battery with fast charge (up to 50% battery in 30 minutes).
