[ASUS ZENBOOK 17 FOLD REVIEW]
Folding smartphones have made it possible to put tablets in our pockets, or to re-live the halcyon days of our flip-phone youth. But if you take that same flexible-display technology and scale it up to something the size of a big college textbook … you end up with a fully fledged Windows 11 PC that can unfold into a 12.5" laptop … or a giant 17.3" mobile workstation! True, Lenovo beat 'em to the punch, but ASUS now offers the biggest flexible-screen PC (if you can stomach the price tag).
I'm Michael Fisher; join me for my impressions after 12 days with the ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold OLED - and stick around till the end for an early look at the device the Zenbook Fold will be doing battle with: Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Fold (2022 edition).

I'd love to see a BT keyboard dock to the host foldable with four pogo pins. The keyboard could recharge and run as a USB keyboard, then. It seems like such an easy fix. I wonder why Asus and Lenovo haven't done it.

@CampGareth Жыл бұрын

I've found pogo pins to be unreliable if there's any movement between the two pieces, at least that's the case on my old Dell Venue 11 Pro. Whenever the tablet portion wobbled Windows would switch into tablet then laptop mode on a loop. At least with Bluetooth you expect problems.

@CampGareth Жыл бұрын

@@teh_hunterer indeed, Surfaces seem to have solved it by letting the bit between the keyboard and pogo pins flex instead. Apple do something similar, big magnets to hold the ipad in place then a couple of hinges to dampen vibration from keystrokes. So long as the pogo pins never move in use they're fine. How you'd do that on the zenbook or thinkpad I don't know, keys you hammer on are right above the bezel where the pins would go...

It’s amazing that you can now walk around with a 17” all-in-one desktop in your backpack and can shrink it down to a 14” laptop when on the go! I look forward to later iterations when the software is fleshed out and we have a bit more power under the hood to truly be a “desktop replacement” in a broad sense

It is maddening that one of the least polished parts of this folding-display equipped laptop appears to not be the hinge or the screens top layer, not even the crease, but simply the keyboard. Is creating a properly functioning Bluetooth keyboard and ideally adapting more aspects of the Surface Type Cover (which I maintain is excellent considering its form factor and managed to include a backlight half a decade ago) that much more challenging than designing everything needed to accommodate a folding display? Then again, the latter can be explained by development times and having to trim something down to get to market in a timely manner, though on the other hand, the price still makes any compromise hard to swallow. One can hope that this is truly a pre-production issue, though considering the Thinkpad and the fact that other reviewers also reported similar issues, plus the fact that Bluetooth keyboards are not exactly unknown technology, make me doubtful, for this generation. Considering Asus though, yeah, it stands to reason that they will indeed refine this concept, they have a nack for actually sticking to out there concepts till they actually work. Software also still seems to suffer from the cancelation of Andromeda. I get the reasons why Microsoft did that and I understand that their financials did benefit from the added focus on Azure over that project, but I still am saddened thinking what could have been with those changes, having potential for foldables, regular tablets, phones like the Duo and more exotic projects like the HoloLens. Basically, still as amazing a concept as when Lenovo launched their first foldable screen equipped laptop, but as long as the basics aren't sorted out, even the most affluent buyer will struggle to justify the purchase. The new X1 looks incredible, hoping for a review.

Personally, I think having the design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 phone is what laptop computers need. You have a smaller screen on the front of the device (in this case, a 12" screen) for a tablet, but if you open it up, it'll have the laptop form factor or remove the keyboard for the larger screen (in this case, 17"). But then again, that would be too much screen for that size, and the cost would be astronomical.

@ChrisTay229 Жыл бұрын

The issue with adding another screen is battery life. The computer would die within a few hours if you used both modes. Plus it'd be easy to damage the big outer screen and a case for it would make the device way too thick.

Makes me wonder what ever happened to that prototype screen thing where buttons/keys/etc could actually rise out due to the material used.

@nickthaskater Жыл бұрын

The 10" form factor with "tucked-in" keyboard is the ideal for a folding notebook in my eyes. The size of this is like dragging around a thick coffee table book, not to mention how clunky everything about this is like the keyboard implementation. That's to say nothing about the alpha-test experience that Windows delivers. Lenovo's external keyboard and stand are just a bit ridiculous. I can't see any world where I'd carry a stack of peripherals like that over an ultrabook and a thin external monitor. I look back at the old Lenovo Yoga Book and how impossibility thin it was and its 10-inch form factor. If they could figure out the hinge with a folding OLED, *that* would be my ideal ultra-portable.

@ziwer1 Жыл бұрын

I don't really see the difference. The external keyboard is magnetically attached to the device. I actually think it's better to keep them separate because even just by looking at it, it looks like the keyboard could damage the screen. I could also use the new lenovo like we use smartphones with the on screen keyboard without carrying around the keyboard.

Great 1/2nd gen of this and I'm expecting Microsoft to make a folding surface along the way and when they do I'm expecting it to set the standard like all the surface lines have.

I've personally never had a good track record with Asus, so I'm glad to hear it's coming out with a fold to compete with Lenovo. With lessons learned from both sides, I'm hoping a better price point will emerge and Lenovo will continue releasing different models at those good price points to help cover the gaps my Fold 3 can't quite close on with my video editing and audio recording. But I waited 3 generations to buy a folding phone, I can keep waiting for Lenovo to get it right.

Very interested in how this could be as a drawing tablet. It's like having a portable 17in cintiq or kamvas but able to be folded down for all your normal laptop needs.

Wouldn't the crease be a problem when drawing?

@@Geekosification because of the larger area I'd say no and using the z fold 4 for drawing and it's crease isn't the best but it doesn't stop you from being able to draw.
