Shows a link for me, second line. I will add another one just in case. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sams...Id=64577
GO to best buy and look at it. It was the best screen by far in the place at any price range
I see $719 for the i7 with no trade in and with Samsung Employee pricing. My guess is that .edu would be about $750. And don't forget cashback from a site of your choosing (~5% = $37.50).
I bought this a couple of weeks ago and am very happy with it. There are two areas that may irk some people that have been discussed to death here... The USB-C port cannot be used for charging, and there is mention of an "Active Pen (not included)" but no specifics. For the charging issue there is an $8 adapter on Amazon [amazon.com] that essentially annuls that, and basically any active pen (with battery) that works with later model Surface screens should work (example [amazon.com]). The Wacom Bamboo Ink 2 works too.
My own personal irk with it is that Samsung have published almost no specs for this computer. It's hard to figure out exactly what the USB-C port can do, and there is precious little info on expansion capabilities. From what I have gathered, the RAM is soldered and cannot be upgraded, but the storage is removable and can. It's pretty easy to open: there is one screw under each rubber foot and that's it. In the box with the notebook there is only a user pamphlet that is short and useless. You can download a larger manual from Samsung but it's not much more use... at least in figuring out the unit's capabilities. I think the main problem is that these laptops can differ significantly based on where they are sold so Samsung avoid publishing any information on the hardware specs.

TO Madpup and others...
I did put in the OP that people should check samsung's student and employee prices first. A lot of us don't qualify for that and this price is $200+ less than normal prices
