‘Foldable laptops will have a similar market trajectory as foldable phones’: Asus India executive

Arnold Su, Business Head, Consumer and Gaming PC, System Business Group, Asus India, sees a similar market trajectory for foldable laptops as foldable phones. “If you go back to the foldable phone segment four years back, it was a niche product category, but gradually the market has expanded,” Su told indianexpress.com in an interview.

The ZenBook 17 Fold OLED unveiled in India Thursday can do something that other notebooks can’t: bend in half or expand to the size of a 17-inch monitor. The foldable laptop retails for Rs 329,990, a steep price to pay for a notebook when the overall PC market has been declining amid high inflation and broader economic concerns.
