Software and connectivity quirks. Stand only allows for landscape. Lacking ports. Unimpressive battery life. Crease may bother some.Asus ZenBook 17 Fold OLED. This is my advice to everyone.

Conversely, I’m much less of a fan of the laptop mode. Asus says it has gone as big as it can with the 17-inch display here, but it still isn’t quite enough, as for this incarnation the screen size is halved. It becomes the size of a typical 13.3-inch clamshell machine, but thick bezels mean the display is 12.5-inches. The keyboard typing experience is worsened in this mode, too, with the accessory flexing more when not on a flat surface.

However, the battery life isn’t great—hitting around 5 to 6 hours of screen time in a day. This can somewhat be forgiven with the impressive big and bright display inevitably causing some of this deficit. Like with the laptop mode, I’ve come around to the overall portability of this foldable PC. Yes, it’s much thicker than your average laptop, but it’s to allow for a humongous display. Furthermore, the smaller surface area can initially make this device feel heavier than it is, but, at 1.5 kg, it weighs less than a. It’s not a machine you’re going to feel weighed down by. Being able to take a 17.

Lenovo’s first X1 Fold was a 13.3-inch display when folded out, making for a tiny “laptop mode.” However, Lenovo has now revealed itsThinkPad X1 Fold. I’ve had hands-on time, and our review will come before its release date in November, but let’s just say Asus has a formidable competitor on its hands.
