Make sure you are logged into your education account. Price drops from $950 to $450.

It is an ultra light laptop. I have it and love it. It's not for gamers or for development work. For study or casual use it is much better than the dell XPS 13 I have been using.

Better deal is the Samsung Galaxy Flex Alpha for $509

https://www.samsung.com/us/comput...flex-alpha


256GB i5 w/ 8GB ram is $509. Processor is 2x faster (6600 passmark vs 3000 on the Book S).

512GB i7 w/ 12GB ram is $599 Processor only ~10% faster than the i5 (7000 passmark), but 4GB more RAM and twice the storage space for $90

Intel Core i5-L16G7 , that's a very slow cpu.

The complaints about the CPU are really more a ding on Intel's latest labeling/branding scheme more than anything else. No, this does not perform at the level you might expect given that it is a 10th-generation CPU with 5 cores blessed by Intel with i5-branding. However, what you do get is performance comparable to the 8th-generation, 4 core i3 CPUs (which were themselves very comparable to the prior generation i5 CPUs).

Given the incredibly small power envelope for this passively cooled(!) laptop, that's pretty impressive and more than functional for a number of users. If you have a modern i3- or i5-based laptop this might be anywhere from a side-grade to a downgrade. However, this is still well above the level of earlier Atom and Pentium CPUs.

Good luck!

Buy this laptop because you want something thin and light at the given price point ($450) which isn't too CPU-compromised. Basic video conferencing could be achieved with plenty of laptops. You could get bulkier, cheaper laptops with much more power for your budget, or much cheaper and even less powerful laptops that would video conference just fine.

This laptop sits in an ecosystem somewhere below something like the Surface Laptop Go (which is around $600 discounted) but above the Surface Go tablet lineup (which is around $400). If your response was "I wasn't shopping any of those" then this isn't the laptop for you.

Good luck!

Yeah, it won't let me choose the discount now eventhough I've had a EDU account for years.

Super tempting. After logging in I can see the EPP discount bringing this down to $449.

The edu discount shows up but you can't checkout because as soon as you click on skip add ons, it takes you to the I'd.me site to sign in. This happens even if you are already logged into samsung account and have the edu discount banner at the top.

Edit, now it raises the price back up but allows you to put in cart and checkout without id.me. wtf
