You’ve Gotta See This FOLDING Laptop! 

This device is SO COOL. After seeing it, I think folding laptop screens are gonna be the future of this space. 20”+ laptops can be a thing! Would you want a monster screen like this? Does that crease/ripple bother you?

Asus' engineers are given permission to do the f they want, what a dream job! While other companies talk about their "cool patented hinges" (yes, Alienware..), these guys actually come up with exotic out of the box high tech stuff. Nice!

I can't wait to see where this device goes in the future. I hope Asus sticks with it. I work in the manufacturing and engineering industry, where something like this would be GAME CHANGING in the development and quality rooms.

Finally, a practical use for foldable screens. I find laptop screens to be really small, so having a big screen wherever you go is something I can really appreciate.

Aside from the whole folding display thing making me heavily question the durability of this thing, this is actually a very neat product and i'm glad we're getting some actual innovation for once. This very much feels like a spiritual successor to the thinkpad x220t, which is to this day what i consider far and away the best laptop design.

This is the first foldable device I’ve actually been genuinely impressed by. I’m excited to see how this technology evolves.

This is an amazing design, I’d personally never really buy something like this but if it ever gets small enough it’s definitely something to consider

This looks incredible! I would love to see a month update to see if the folding crease gets bad

Asus missed an opportunity for this device to also be a *Portable/mobile monitor* not having DP/HDMI in. What if you already have a more powerful laptop/desktop? This could be used as a second or third monitor option on the go What if you want to plug your Nintendo Switch or Valve Steam Deck into a bigger screen? This could have done that as well.

this is sweet! Hoping they release laptops like this which also have good graphics cards, that would be the dream, being able to use it as a large tablet for sketching, and also as a large screen with the keyboard for adobe work, 3d modelling/rendering, and gaming!

this is some really great engineering. i would love to see a 2.0 version of this that cleans up those bezels and brings the cutting edge QOL improvements to foldables tech like the galaxy fold 3 has.

I appreciate Asus for making such bold moves in laptop industry cause from few years we see that only smartphone industry is getting serious innovations....but looks like laptops are catching up too.👍 Btw loving your videos...dude seriously your explanation is beyond amazing ❤️

Ok this is the first Foldable that is genuinely useful. A portable compact 17 inch screen is a killer app.

Concise and informative as usual, thanks Dave.

Such a sweet and fun design! Can't wait for Apple to launch a folding MacBook in 20 years and call it groundbreaking 😅

I'm actually curious how does this compare to Lenovo's X1 Fold. Can't wait for Asus to release this for benchmark

Love to see a 27-inch screen on a laptop in the future!! Good for ASUS. ps: Lenovo really did it wrong on its Thinkpad X1 fold. Too small for productive work.

It would be smart to have gold contact pins for the keyboard to charge and cut down on latency for this sort of device. The lenovo fold is a similar device to this, and has me thinking this sort of device will be coming into popularity in the future. I hope wacom hops on this train for the stylus support, or for windows stylus support to continue to improve, something like this would be ideal for artists.

what you're saying towards the end is what I've always been saying about foldables. the idea is to have a large screen (for those of us who need them) that you can just fold down into something more portable when you're no longer using it, or when you no longer need that large of a screen

I LOVE that they put the taskbar on the crease when the keyboard is on, maximizes the perfectly flat screen realestate for the important stuff!

If that foldable screen fails, it would be a really expensive mistake

That thing looks awesome. One of the best implementations for a folding screen yet.

The awesome thing about it is that, if you want to use it in traditional laptop mode, it truly is a no-compromise laptop experience. No wobbly hinge, upper center of gravity, unlappability. It’s essentially a traditional laptop until you decide you want something more, and then boom, big-ass tablet mode for you.

Damn this is so cool!! Asus has been on fire last couple of years! I really respect the creativity of their designers and engineers!

Asus is absolutely slaying this time with their really bold and unconventional line up! And that too with no compromise on specs!

Love to see tech innovations moving forward.

Love the no nonsense approach of this channel

Have you done a setup tour before? That room looks so sick.

I’ve always likes Asus, reliable products, always with great design. This time, they hit the ball out of the park. I only hope the hinge really is as durable as claimed, with no premature wear before the 30.000 fold mark.

I love stuff like this where they're really experimenting with the possibilities and innovating designs and ways that we can use devices differently

your excitement is contagious homie

0:54 Who's holding the camera? I never noticed before, but I just assumed Dave was a 1-man team.

this looks cool for normal tablet stuff, but as an artist, I feel like the crease is still an issue. I'd probably just use on half for the pallet and UI and the other for canvas.

I'm really interested in a mixed use case, where you have it standing half-folded (like normal laptop) with main content on vertical screen, scratching/drawing/notetaking pad on the horizontal screen and keyboard down closer for the need of typing.

You are awesome I've been tired of searching a lot

I could see this screen in a "laptop" in the future, being place in a stand-angle of our choice, without ugly middle spot, so that we will actually carry our home-setup with us wherever.

technology has come so dang far lately. I'm stoked that laptops are adopting the folding screen, I feel like this could be the push to making it more of a thing.

This device looks brilliant. Having a bigger screen is always favorable and if you can fold it to make it more portable then all the better. Will be keeping an eye on this!

already ordered one waiting for it now !!

Earlier in the day, I was seeing this device on Asus India's website and wondering why didn't Dave make a video on it yet, it's so cool. And here u r today itself. What a timing Dave! T hanks for covering this. I'm hoping u will also check out the upcoming Galaxy Book 2 Pro series from Samsung this year as well. Cheers!

Very cool device indeed, for someone on the move to have the option for small or big screen is awesome, opens many new productivity scenarios. I just think that big crease combined with shinny reflective screen isn't a great visual experience, maybe final product will improve on that

Love your videos as you cover both the pros and cons in a fairly unbiased manner. One thing about this video though, I'm surprised you didn't mention the Thinkpad X1 Fold which was released in Nov 2021 preceding Asus by over a good 1.5 years. The two devices are virtually identical in size and differ only perhaps in cpu, ram and storage config.

Love the form factor. Will wait for a version 2 though.

This kind of device needs easily replaceable screens. It is soft, it bends, you put stuff onto it (like the keyboard), dirt can damage it from behind .... the processing hardware will outlast the screen easily.

This actually looks incredible! This is the first thing that's legitimately made me want to upgrade.

This is the thing man, absolutely. i see myself working with one of those in graphic design.

this concept is so cool. A super portable laptop which extends when you need to, as most people use laptops on desks a lot. My only concern would be the flexibility of the OLED panel and longevity as mentioned in the video. And I'm guessing these panels arent going to be easy to replace if damaged and the starting price of this laptop is probably going to be around £2000 if I had to guess.

ASUS using that "old" Lenovo design. I really hope this catches on and more companies do this. It is a really neat solution.

In a few years, we're going to look back on this laptop and other foldables and wonder how we used such thick and outdated looking devices. Crazy how tech can advance so quickly!

I like the cover design, the reflection effect is so dope! The rest not really, it looks like super thick leather agenda/organizer.

I can really feel his passion when he talks about tech... It moves me as well

Ideally I want the monitor to be a peripheral. For my CAD work flow 2 matched displays that are reasonably large are ideal. So 2 displays that are thin clients wireless or wired to a compute element that is seperable like the keyboard would be an ideal portable work station. An EGPU would also be a nice element. A modular upgrade and reuse path for each element. Folding to a half screen for on a plane or at a meeting table seem ideal.

bruh i just want a regular laptop w 3070 for less than a whole kidney

This looks so dope and futuristic man

This is what I alway wanted the surface to become. Every laptop should follow this and make keyboards like that. It’s a great form factor and can’t wait to see future models

I like the size of the screen, other than that it is IDENTICAL to the Lenovo X1 Fold from 2 years ago - which i have been using when I travel (I guess you never got to try one of those?).

I'm happy with my Flow X13 as a travel device. It's very small and it has an integrated mobile 3050ti for on-the-go gaming.

this computer is A PIECE OF ART . i love the innovation

I love not seeing ads on all of your videos

this is honestly so cool just from a coding perspective, would love to use this as my main display on my desk with my mechanical keyboard then be able to just grab and take it to a coffee shop with the asus keyboard

absolutely love it, once there is one with bigger screen and a dedicated gpu I would go for it almost no matter the price :D

It's a larger Surface Book Neo, which I was excited about before it was cancelled. I like the way they made use of the unavoidable wedge by giving the keyboard a storage spot.

This reminds me of Microsoft's Neo project that never saw the light of day. I love the idea of the neo, pull the keyboard off and now you have 2 displays. I think this is cool too, but one large display is not quite as useful as two distinct displays IMO. With two distinct you can still have glass screens, for way more durability, easier management of separate applications, etc. My #1 use case would be one display for applications (the top display), and the bottom display to take notes. But there's plenty of other stuff that works great for dual screens, especially for programming. Dual displays > folding displays IMO.

I literally said when folding screens came about that they should be used as a way to make proper large screen real estate more portable - FINALLY people are doing it. I think I'm working in the wrong industry.. 🤣

This looks absolutely stunning.

I could actually see this being useful in the future. Once the crease is solved, if it ever is, this could be where laptops and foldables end up.

Wow, imagine how cool folding laptops will be when the underlying screen and hinge technology evolves

This is a cool product and it's awesome that they're pushing the boundaries. That said, it's not for me as i'm much happier with a classic laptop and an iPad to accompany it.

I'm just waiting for the 14 space zenbook . Thanks 🙏

okay this is the first time im truly excited by a folding screen thats awesome!

Cheers to Asus for keeping the innovation running!

I'll be honest and say I have a cynical side to my brain that's being unnecesarily judgy of this. It looks like a great idea, and I love seeing companies doing different things with every-day tech. If we never did that, we wouldn't have had so many of the things we have now, and how many of those things had an initial reaction of "You want to put WHAT on the phone?". I will say- it's obviously not going to be the best product, straight away. I think things like this require that initial jump so they know what to work on in the future, the same as they did with 3-in-1 laptops, or things of that nature, tech that didn't do exactly as the rest of its kind did, so while I'm (I'd say, understandably) a little cynical of this exact model, I'd love to see what future this line is going to have.

The thunderbolt 4 in the laptop is a bonus, you can run docks off the laptop with all the extra devices like external hard drives, LAN networks and extra monitors. One wonders with sitting the keyboard in the laptop position and changing it on a daily basis, would it end up scratching the unused screen surface? Or is there a big enough space between the screen and the bottom of the keyboard, would it warrant a sleeve over the unused half of the screen. These type of screen set up with touch control in mind tend to get very dirty quick. More ram and a i9 cpu and you could use it as a gaming laptop depending on the gpu.

I love dave's enthusiasm about the future of tech haha

I think you will find that Lenovo did this already… Different size, poor performance but same engineering…

It looks like a prototype to me. Also, I'm a bit surprised that Samsung still hasn't released a laptop like that given how they've basically been working on foldable devices since 2010.

Insanely cool stuff! I’d love to have something like this

This is the coolest device I’ve seen this year!

Never knew I could be this early

i think in time they can make a hinge and a mechanism that won't need a crease in the display, so it will just somehow roll inside the device when closed and flush to it when opened.

while my ad buffered i read the description and thought dave had just lost it, all laptops fold in half!

you got the scoop on this one early. nice!

Love your office!

Cool the Lenovo Thinkbook Fold did this too, very interesting design for sure

Very unique concept hope the other companies follow on the design language.

The fact that it comes with the keyboard instead of charging you extra for it is a huge PLUS already.

First foldable device I'm actually impressed by and don't think it's a useless gimmick but actually useful!

It is a very interesting direction in portable technology. This particular unit is pre production of course as Dave said but I’m really curious when will we see the first perfected design in this style

This thing is awesome, and I say this as someone who bought the Padfone Infinity, if you know what that is. This is a laptop/tablet/TV as far as functionality goes for me. I've been looking at the Raspberry for a while now, but I never bought one because if I wanted to travel, I'd need a portable screen for it. But this solves everything in one device, so if I can afford it when it releases, my PC and 40 inch LCD TV will be going into the storeroom.

This awesome I cant wait, just imagine filliping it horizontally and kicking a 17" Gameing Setup

Thank you Dave 2D

Cool! I could go for something like that but I do not like the "fold" showing up. Soon, someone will come up with a "fix" for that.

This is actually brilliant.

This is the thing man, this is the thing

I really love the idea of this. I hope its great.

I've rarely seen Dave this enthusiastic about something

I was so exhausted at the end of working day & suddenly saw this folding laptop thumbnail from Dave & immediate excitement kicks in, I want one, how much $$

I don't think it's refined enough for me to pull the trigger yet but it's really close, nice job ASUS excited to see where this goes. Might have to pick it up next generation.

That aquarium in the background is super cool

It makes so much more sense to integrate a folding screen into a device like a laptop that already folds, rather than inteoduce an unnecessary fold to a device that doesnt need to like a phone
