Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED: no kinks in the look

The battery life in tablet mode, ie fully open, is 8.5 hours. If the device is used in laptop mode (12.5 inch), it will be extended to 9.5 hours.
availability and price
The price for the Zenbook 17 Fold Oled is around 3699 euros. The exact launch date for Europe was not given, but should follow in October.
PCtip means:: A clever idea from Asus that gives the user plenty of space to use the Zenbook as an XXL tablet or as a classic convertible with a physical keyboard. However, the manufacturer should think again about the price.
