This foldable OLED computer from Asus is a new type of laptop, but there's still a ways to go until it's ready for everyone.
dabbled with a display called Touch Bar as its keyboard's function keys row, but it abandoned that idea. Of course, Samsung also has its Fold line of foldable phones. Asus' Zenbook 17 Fold OLED goes to the extreme and is not a laptop beholden to the present. So, what's it like to use it, and will more companies build large foldable screens that people use as their laptops?There is a kickstand on the back to prop up the screen when it is completely unfolded.
In the case of the Zenbook 17 Fold, it relies on Windows' built-in virtual keyboard for text input when the opportunity arises. Once you leave a text field, the keyboard disappears. This was fine, but not great. It was frustrating to not have some way to pull up the on-screen keyboard at a moment's notice.
In all honesty, I thought I was going to hate using a laptop like this. As amazing as it looked in promotional photos, it seemed too good to be true. Surprisingly, the hype isn't the only thing being sold here. There's plenty of substance to cling to.
