ASUS is also one of those computer manufacturers that like to experiment with unusual form factors. So, its new attempt with a foldable isn't too surprising. The company unveils its first stab at a foldable display with the new ZenBook 17 Fold OLED. It's a 17.3-inch laptop with a foldable OLED screen, making it much easier to fit into smaller bags. 

There are numerous ways to use the laptop, similar to how the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold works. You can use it as a giant tablet and prop it up with a kickstand or fold it sideways at a 90-degree angle to create a small clamshell. When unfolded, its dimensions are around 4:3 for the 17.3-inch screen, and when folded, it's around a 3:2 12.3-inch device. You can also think about it as two 12.5-inch 1,920 x 1,280 screens side by side or one 2,560 x 1,920 display.

ASUS also supplies a detachable, thin wireless keyboard you can place on top of the screen when it's in clamshell form or use the keyboard separate from the display.

The ZenBook 17 Fold OLED runs on 12th-generation Intel Core i7 U-Series processors, up to 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. It has a relatively large 75-watt battery and has additional features like a QHD webcam with an IR camera for Windows Hello. ASUS hasn't revealed pricing yet, but expect that it'll be expensive.
