Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED: Display
Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED have 17.3 inch display that can be folded into half. Equipped with 2590×1920 OLED touchscreen display, it displays rich, vibrant colours. According to Asus, this note can reach up to 500 nits of brightness. Unfortunately this notebook lacks high refresh rate.
Performance
Zenbook 17 fold has equipped intell’s 12th Gen i7 CPU which is best for everyday uses and light editing. I find this laptop to be really efficient and simple to use on a daily basis. Unfortunately, this laptop lacks a dedicated GPU, making it unable to play intensive games.
Battery
This laptop requires a lot of power due to its large and powerful display, so a 75Wh battery was included. While performing daily activities, I find it sufficient for an entire day. Additionally, the 65W fast charger charges the laptop swiftly.
The detachable keyboard on this laptop must be charged separately from the rest of the device, which is bothersome.
