The ASUS ZenBook Fold 17 OLED was teased earlier this year at CES but it has now made its official debut at IFA 2022. The device is basically a 17.3-inch 2560 x 1920 OLED slab that can be used as a tablet or a notebook and can be folded in the middle.
The Fold 17 OLED can be folded to be used as a laptop and the bottom half can be used as a touchscreen keyboard but it will be bundled with its own Bluetooth keyboard. Alternatively, it can be used as a full 17.3-inch tablet hybrid since it comes with a kickstand at the back.
The notebook will be powered by an Intel Core i7-1250I with 16GB LPDDR5 RAM, an Intel Iris Xe GPU, and will support Thunderbolt 4 connectivity for charging, additional displays, and even external GPUs.
