Galaxy Book Flex Alpha 13.3" in Royal Silver
$389.99 for Intel i5-10210U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD
$479.99 for Intel i7-10510U, 12 GB RAM, 512GB SSD

Yes...it's really that cheap (I've not selected any trade-in option)! It has decent performance, an amazing screen and a long battery life. Great for when we all get to return to campus/outdoors! Just an FYI, many are saying that it can't charge via the USB-C port.
  1. Activate Samsung Education Discount [samsung.com]
  2. Select Galaxy Book Flex Alpha & your config [samsung.com]
All links are nonreferrals and deal is still up at the time of posting. Enjoy!

The "U" means the chip is designed for laptops and mobile devices, as "U" chips are Intel's "ultra-low power" models. They're "low power" because they use even less power than the "T" models and have slower speeds than their full-size, non "U" equivalents.

Making up nonsense.
Intel and AMD have been making all laptop CPUs including flagship models marked 'U' for the last 5 years or more!

Intel 6600U, Intel 8265U.
AMD 3250U, 4650U etc.

So does it make you verify if you have an edu email after you order the product?

Looks like you need to verify student status on this one.

Not if you have a legit edu email. All you need is an edu account on samsung. No need to go thru ID.me

T series is a low power desktop processor and U series is low power laptop processor.

A lot of compromises: outdated processor (2 gens prior to current), no Thunderbolt 3 or PD charging, shorter battery life than 2-in-1s alike.

Still a good choice for basic productivity and media needs.
