Remember at the 2020 CES show, the 13-inch ThinkPad X1 Fold received countless praise as soon as it was unveiled. The ThinkPad X1 Fold, which Lenovo calls "the world's first foldable PC", has allowed the industry to see innovation in the form of pCs. At this year's CES show, ASUS also launched a similar product, but the screen size was upgraded to 17 inches and used OLED backlight technology panels.
In terms of use scenarios, folding the laptop from the middle can easily create two 12.5-inch, 1920×1280 displays to facilitate the browsing and operation of different applications or pages.
In terms of hardware specifications, the ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold Z is equipped with a 12th-generation Core i7 low-voltage U-series processor, integrated Iris Xe core display, providing double thunderbolt 4 interface, and built-in 75Wh battery. Meanwhile, the Zenbook 17 FoldZ is also equipped with a HARMAN Caton-certified four-speaker sound system that supports Dolby Atmos and can be used with the Asus ErgoSense Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad.
Judging from the current sales status of ThinkPad X1 Fold, the price of 16999 yuan is not cheap but it is already in the real price category. And with a thickness of 11.5mm / 999g of weight, this folding PC portability is not small, easier to fit into the pocket of business people.
The price of the Asus Zenbook 17 FoldZ and the relevant body thickness and weight information are not known, but for business people, these are also parameters that are concerned. In addition, how the 17-inch folding PC can have more convenient and efficient use scenarios and appeals is also the top priority for ASUS to educate the market.
