Asus ZenBook 17 Fold OLED
Foldable OLED laptops are exciting, but current prices are very high, and so demand is low. The Asus ZenBook 17 Fold OLED for example, which uses a 17.3-inch display made by BOE, costs $3,500 - a very high price for a laptop. It is reported that Asus only ordered 10,000 displays from BOE as it understand it cannot ship many units at this price, and HP also not planning for many sales of their own first-gen foldable laptops, and have ordered a similar number of displays.
Foldable OLED laptop sales may be still very low, but regular OLED laptop displays are selling very well, and Samsung plans to ship 8.5 million laptop OLED displays in 2023, up from 6 million units in 2022.
