Is It Really the Best Folding Screen Laptop to Come Out Till Date?
ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold OLED seems to be a massive upgrade over the erstwhile frontrunner Lenovo X1. To figure out if it’s the best bet so far as foldable laptops are concerned, we need to wait for the customer feedback.
What’s the Future of Foldable Laptops?
Two years ago, world’s first folding screen laptop, Lenovo X1 Fold made its debut. There haven’t been that much options for this niche variety. Moreover, they could hardly match the huge progress made in their smartphone counterparts so far. But the arrival of ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold OLED is expected to change the entire equation in favor of foldable laptops. Thus, we can have high hopes from the world of foldable screen laptops.
Growing ManiFOLD
In the recent times foldable gadgets have managed to find a lot of suitors and the introduction of ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold OLED indeed creates a renewed interest among many others.
Samsung has turned the smartphone market upside down lately with the new versions of its famous Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold. Even Motorola has rocked the global smartphone industry with its new Razr phone. Interestingly, OPPO and LG are also trying to break into the foldable smartphone market with some serious ventures in this particular domain.
But when it comes to foldable screens other than smartphones, there’s not much movement apart from the new OLED gaming monitor from Corsair. Hence, the announcement of ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold OLED as a flagship model of ASUS, comes as a major boost to this sector and likely to help it grow manifold in the coming days by reshaping its pathway to a great extent.
