Asus Is Working On Foldable Laptop, But Unlikely To Launch Soon

For now, foldable technology is likely a kind of future. After Samsung and Huawei release their foldable phones, several hardware manufacturers are also interested in foldable devices, especially foldable laptop. Earlier this month, Intel has unveiled that a laptop which can fold up won’t hit the market in the next two years. Following that, the Taiwanese company Asus recently announced its similar plan.

Though Chang did not reveal too much information, it is clear that Asus is prototyping a foldable laptop.

In addition, he admitted foldable tech is not up to par to be used for commercial. First and foremost, he believed that a panel still reaches at a high cost at present, besides the supply is also limited. Second, there’ll be a gap between two sides of the display of the foldable laptop when you fully closed it. Third, the reliability isn’t that great.

Apart from that, Asus has already introduced the two products with two screens alongside a physical keyboard, the ZenBook Duo and ZenBook Pro Duo. The idea is supposed to be based on the current technology for a dual-screen concept. Commercializing those products will help Asus take advantage very fast.

Computex 2019 – the biggest annual show of the computing industry has already kicked off on 28 May. Zenbook Duo Pro, one of the most dedicated laptops ever created, has not only one but also two 4K screens. Asus hasn’t made any official announcement about its availability as well as price, but it’s expected to hit the market in the next months.
