#2Expensive luxury land fill like all foldable displays currently are. This takes it to the extreme. I am not impressed. We should be building for sustainability at this stage of our existence and this is exactly the opposite of it.
Plus it runs the worst touch based operating system on the market.

#3I can't help but see folding screens as a limited-life product. Sure, laptops only last, usefully, about 6 years anyway, but it's such an obvious wear spot which would cripple the entire device.
Thanks, but no thanks.

#4Form over functionality.
Re: Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED
#5AFAIK there is absolutely no innovation with software defined keyboards, they statically mimic a physical keyboard. I would expect well defined open APIs so that applications tailor the keyboard for optimal contextualized use for that app.
The only thing that came close is Apple's touchbar but even that one is quite static and not very liberating in practice.
Of course the downside of adaptive software keyboards is that you have a slightly different keyboard layout per application, so mostly a feature for experienced and professional users.

#7I want to see high-res pictures of that device after 2, 5 and 10 simulated years of use.

#8How does the 17 inch screen stand up? There are no pictures of it standing from the back. Maybe I overlooked it?

#9I love the innovation but I don't see me buying something like this. I'd use it like a standard laptop and I think most people would do the same.
And then you have all the possible screen problems. We've seen it happening with phones and I wouldn't like paying a considerable sum of money for something that will break easily if I look at it the wrong way.
Gives us connectivity, good screen, power and autonomy. Leave the weird designs, they remind me of the mobile phone era before the iPhone.

#10Fold or not, what I want for a laptop is:
A tablet with a matte screen.
That can run Linux.
So I can put it on a stand and a keyboard in front of it.
That would be the ultimate travel setup! Working in cafes without having to look down all the time.
Does something like this exist?
