January 6 - With foldable phones coming on the market from major manufacturers, many users are also hoping for the advent of foldable computers. Asus officially unveiled a foldable laptop, the Zenbook 17 Fold, at the ongoing CES 2022 show.
The Asus Zenbook 17 Fold is the world's first laptop with a foldable 17.3-inch OLED screen. According to the official data test, the service life can correspond to 30,000 normal folding.
The Zenbook 17 Fold is 8.7mm thick when unfolded and 17.4mm thick when folded. The frame is made of magnesium alloy and clad in dark green leather for a businesslike look.

The Asus Zenbook 17 Fold works with a wireless keyboard and trackpad to enable traditional laptop usage. You can also use the wireless keyboard on the lower screen to save a lot of space, so that even in high-speed trains, airplanes and other environments can be simple to work; When the screen is half-folded, different content can be displayed on the upper and lower screens, such as cutting videos or holding meetings, so that different user experience can be obtained. It can also be rotated, for example with tables, and the wider and longer screens can see more rows than traditional computers.
At its core, the Zenbook 17 Fold is powered by a 12-generation Intel Core I7-1250U processor, an Intel Iris Xe graphics card, 16GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, Wi-Fi 6E, and Microsoft Windows 11 Pro. There are also two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports with 75Wh batteries and support for quick charging.
Among other things, the Zenbook 17 Fold supports Dolby Panoramic sound, a Harman Kardon certified four-speaker sound system, a high-definition infrared camera for face recognition, and a new Intel vision sensor controller chip for user presence detection. The laptop has a built-in color sensor that automatically adjusts screen brightness and color temperature; Asus uses artificial intelligence to eliminate background noise and a 5-megapixel webcam for sharper video calls.
According to official sources, the Asus Zenbook 17 Fold will be available in mid-2022.
