The ergonomic keyboard, fingerprint reader, and privacy features add to the user-friendly design.

Balanced power, design, and user-centric features make it a versatile option for a wide range of users.

Weaknesses

Intel Iris XE Graphics may not satisfy users looking for high-end gaming or 3D rendering.
Lack of Thunderbolt support might be a drawback for some professionals requiring ultra-fast data transfer.
Battery life, while decent, could be longer for such a powerful laptop.
The Intel Iris XE Graphics may not meet the expectations of heavy gamers and content creators.
Limited upgrade options for certain components may disappoint some users.
No mention of the weight or portability of the laptop in daily usage.
Some users might find the battery life to be average compared to other laptops in its class.

Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED

Strengths

The Zenbook 17 Fold OLED is an admirable first attempt at a flexible laptop design.
Its flexibility changed from being a big tablet for watching shows and movies to an ultra-portable that let me work in tight spaces to a portable desktop that I could use as my command station away from home.
Between Windows 11 and ASUS's Screen expert software, it's much easier to choose the right app layout for whatever mode you're in.
The decision to include a bigger 17.3 inch screen gives you more room for work or play while also making content look great.
The Zenbook 17 Fold OLED lasted 14 hours and 9 minutes in desktop mode and an even better 15 hours and 26 minutes in laptop mode, which is a good mark for any portable PC.

Weaknesses

The Bluetooth keyboard struggled to stay connected, requiring me to unpair and repair it every time the Zenbook went to sleep.
The touchpad was sometimes erratic or slow to respond to my commands.
The system failed to automatically recognize when you lay the keyboard on top of the bottom half of the screen in laptop mode for some reason, causing everything to jump back into full screen mode until you lift the keyboard and drop it down again.
The Zenbook 17 Fold OLED has a weird oversight - the Bluetooth keyboard needs to be charged separately, which feels like an afterthought compared to other devices.
Some of ASUS's software and pre-loaded apps are rather irritating, such as McAfee Livesafe constantly bombarding you with unnecessary notifications and trying to find important settings in the Maya Asus app is a real chore.
