Maybe, maybe not. This is a clone of the Thinkpad Fold.

I loved the "Trust Me, Bro," just tossed in.

This thing is so incredibly awesome, its just a better design for a laptop. If you don't want to take the keyboard off, its just a normal laptop - but you can also just turn it into a whole portable display + pc just by taking the keyboard off and using it separately. I'm gonna wait a bit to see how this pans out (since it still has some early adopter jank), but this would probably be the next laptop I would buy.

Thanks for the vid! Super interesting device. A quick note, that bothers me in some reviews (not exclusively LTT) when reviewing under powered laptops: When a device can't manage a creator's workflow (image & video editing, 4k playback, ...), it gets called a "media consumption device" fairly quickly. However, there are a lot of use cases on PC that do not require the latest and greatest CPU performance. In my use case (Office & Scientific work and Programming) I can actually use my Surface Pro X for almost everything I do even when many programs or functionalities (e.g. Flutter programming) only work via emulation. Sure, my Samsung laptop is quicker, but the portability and battery life of the ARM processor is a huge plus, and therefore I use it quite regularly. So IMO, the processing power of the Asus Fold 17 would be totally sufficient for me, and I wouldn't use it primarily for media consumption. Use cases: - Having a scientific paper on one side and writing on the other - Inspecting Data while "data sciencing" - Have a live server open for web programming with hot reloading - Cloud Gaming (might fall under media consumption^^) - ...

HAHAHA underrated comment. I would absolutely kill to get a gaming 120hz or above 27 inch OLED monitor. The response time will be so sweet ontop of the colors compared to IPS or anything else.

0:14 that caught me off guard so badly Lmao

It's their 1st gen foldable laptop, so I do expect some minus. I hope ASUS take all criticism to improve their next iteration of foldable laptop. Looking at how they treat their gaming laptop, I think they're listening to us.

I kinda wanted the backpack, but the trust me bro thing is super off-putting and now I don't even want the screwdriver. Can't believe y'all are actually putting that in your plugs

love how the cursed linus head pic is the go-to benchmark

Ill wait for V2, with 120hz, thinner bezel. But definitely something I could use. I would also like to see a standard lap top with an unfolding screen for larger sizes.

11:11 I think, we as species should start discriminating companies that adding subscription for thing locked behind DRMs. Looking at you BMW and Toyota

I just noticed that in the last 2 LTT vids, they use what might be the Laowa 24mm f14 probe lens. Neat touch guys!

You would think that for such a cutting edge, expensive and innovative device, they wouldn't bork it out of the stables with a bezel that makes it look like a $150 bargain basement laptop. And this is their 2nd gen device?

At least it can fit in the bin folded? I admit I am a galaxy fold owner and am used to a foldable with thin bezels, but then I also have an XPS with thin bezels. Not sure who this device is for.

@@Ian-dy6cf Remember when Samsung did their first preview of the first foldable and they did it in silhouette with all the lights behind the person and the device so you couldn't see it, had some huge box around the device so it hid everything except the fact that it was a screen that folded in half? This is the larger version of that. Anthony needs to take the bezel off to reveal the sleek thin device inside.

Idk why but the linus meme face kept catching me off guard, especially the first one.

If this had an HDMI input like some all-in-ones, it’d be great

Is... is this it? Is this, finally, the ultimate device to read books and also comics/manga/etc on? A (folding) "tablet" with an OLED screen? I've waited for something like this for so long. Because reading on an LCD sucks in comparison (especially when you want to read like in a dark room), and E-Ink sucks for comics and the like. EDIT: OOF, that price though. Those folding OLED panels are still brutal... I'd love to see something like this in the future when those panel prices have come down. Give it (even) weaker hardware and maybe make it slightly smaller. Then you put a lightweight Linux distro on it instead of Windows, add the right applications, and get reading. EDIT 2: Honestly, for that use case it might be better if this were a portable display, with a port (type-C, ofc) that can provide power. You could strap a Raspberry Pi onto its back with a very short cable that would get its power from the display battery.

This. I don't need some ultra powered, sleek thing loaded with features. I just need a big screen I can make smaller and take with me. Yeah, my first thought was immediately "put Linux on it". XD Seriously same, I was hoping this was just going to be a foldable display or a lightweight tablet.

​@@MrSolLeks It's great that that works for you! But I personally really want OLED. I read a lot of text-only stuff as well, and I've used E-Ink a bit in the past too. I don't want to go back to LCD, especially since I like reading in the dark (or near-dark) sometimes too. I want to be able to switch to white text on a black background and have the non-text pixels actually off instead of them still blasting light at me, haha.

​@@PSYCHOV3N0M The folding is a bonus! I'm mostly after an OLED tablet (or tablet-like) with an x86 CPU. There's too many applications I'd like to use that are not yet available for ARM, still, for my liking. The fact that it can fold like an actual book just makes it better, haha. Also, there are "foldable" LCD devices, but they just have two separate screens, of course. That's fine for pure text, but not so great for comics and the like (especially manga loves to do big "double-spread" pages). A device like this one is the best of all worlds, so to speak.

I want to personally thank whoever uploaded this & ensured that there wasnt double black bars for ultrawide folks. You are a hero & you deserve recognition, I am sorry I didnt truly realize this until we experienced the dark side the other day

I would love this as a portable display too. I could imagine using it with my Switch on the go, as a second monitor for my laptop, and even occasionally bringing my SFF desktop places and using it as my primary monitor for that purpose. On long airplane travels, I could bring a large powerbank to power my phone and the display, and use that as my primary media consumption device for watching TV shows and movies (anyone who's tried using their laptop on an airplane knows that the cramped space is not ideal, a device like this has a much smaller footprint comparatively)

This is an amazing concept for college students. A small 12.5” laptop in the backpack. A big a** productive 17” desktop on the desk on the desk. Edit: I take my comment back, idk any student incl. me who could afford this laptop, forget the performance issues. Btw, for me, a lot of the classes have a desk, that’s why I said that.
