Pros and Cons

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.

Dell G15 5511

Strengths

The laptop is a lot of fun to play with, especially playing Battlefield 2042.
It's got a great size for gaming, with everything fitting into a 15-inch laptop.
The RGB keyboard is really nice, and customizing it will be pretty freaking awesome.
Alien FX's history with beautiful color designs makes this laptop's performance shine through.
The laptop performed well in photo editing and video editing tests.
The environmentally friendly paint used on the Dell G15 is a great feature for gamers who care about sustainability.
For $799 or $1800 AUD, it's one of the best bangs for your buck on the market in terms of gaming laptops.

Weaknesses

There are no USB ports on the left-hand side, which might be a personal preference issue for some users.
If you plan to game on the laptop, make sure to plug in the charger to allow it to run at full power.
The lack of USB ports on one side may limit user flexibility when using peripherals like mice and keyboards.
