Unveiled at the Incredible Unfolds event during CES 2022, the ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold OLED Laptop (designated model UX9702) is the world’s first 17.3-inch foldable OLED laptop.

However, this folding laptop does not have a secondary display like folding phones do because it does not need one. Like the Lenovo Thinkpad X1, it has one screen that becomes two and vice versa.

The large 4:3 17.3-inch 2.5K OLED touchscreen folds in the middle to create two seamless 3:2 12.5 1,920 x 1,280 displays.

When combined with the full-sized ASUS ErgoSense Bluetooth keyboard and touchpad, the device can be used as a regular PC or laptop. It can also serve as a very big table or a small tablet or electronic book of sorts when folded, complete with the on-screen keyboard.

The OLED touchscreen is PANTONE Validated and TÜV Rheinland-certified for eye care and has a 100% DCI-P3 gamut, and further boasts Dolby Vision HDR.
