It will also feature a “Magic Launcher” so you can place frequently used application icons on the second display and use it for quick access but my favorite feature is that I can mirror my smartphone onto the second display so I don’t have to check my smartphone anymore.

With this laptop, you can use it in different usage modes — PC, Laptop, Tablet, On Screen Keyboard, Book and Extend. The laptop is best partnered with the ASUS ErgoSense Bluetooth Keyboard and Touchpad and you can place it on the tablet itself or use it separately.

The ASUS Zenbook 17 OLED Fold comes with a 12th Generation Intel Core i7 U-Series processors inside along with Intel Iris Xe Graphics, up to 16GB RAM, and 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD inside.

This isn’t the first foldable Windows tablet that we’ve seen as Lenovo has introduced a similar product last year as well but it does cost you an arm and leg so don’t expect that this one would be cheap as well. The ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold OLED will be available this mid-year of 2022
