ASUS is changing what you knew a laptop could do with the launch of the New Zenbook 17x OLED (UX9702), the first model to include a 17.3-inch touchscreen that collapses when closed into a smaller 12.4-inch laptop even for a sheet of A4 A4 paper, which facilitates transportation without harming any way of using a laptop with a large screen.

ASUS is a name that is always associated with innovation, and this is evident in the case of the excellent Zenbook 17-fold OLED laptop (UX9702), a unique product defined by flexibility, adaptability and, last but not least, ingenuity, thanks to its 17 ,3-inch diagonal screen, 2.5K resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio, which can be folded in the middle to become two separate screens with 3:2 aspect ratio and full HD resolution, side-by-side without disturbing borders between them, ensuring an even working area.

A special screen that will surprise you

The new folding format offers a high level of flexibility in everyday use, providing a number of operating modes, added to which are made possible by the detachable Bluetooth keyboard Asus Ergosense, which benefits from full-sized keys with a generous 1.4 MM-hit. It also integrates a precise touchpad with a generous area.

The possibilities are endless and only depend on the space you have. Reconfiguration of programs when the screen layout is changed is carried out automatically using the ScreenXpert software.

ASUS used a very thin nano-agent edge with a high screen-to-body ratio of 87%. It uses the latest OLED (organic light-emitting diode) technology and brings all the benefits of an ASUS OLED screen. Its main features are a beautiful 2.5k resolution, ultra-realistic HDR images thanks to the full coverage of the DCI-P3 color space used in cinematography, to the factory Pantone calibration of each panel, all that help ensure a great cinematic experience, Help and vision Dolby Eye protection is another priority for ASUS engineers, which is why harmful blue light emissions have been significantly reduced, certified by TUV Rheinland.

Two equally important features of the folding screen should be noted: the maximum brightness of 500 nits and the free display of moving images without interruptions thanks to the super-fast response time of 0.2 milliseconds.
