Alpha 2
​-Great QLED Screen
-No USB Charging
-No Pen
-No 15" option
-2 in 1
-Heavier with great build quality
-Great value on sale
Pro 360
-SAMOLED - Touchscreen
-USB-C Charging
-Most feature packed
-2 in 1
-Included Pen
-Most Expensive
Pro
-AMOLED - NO Touchscreen
-USB-C Charging
-Clamshell
-Lightest, relatively speaking
-Great value if you need USB-C Charging

For me, the Pro is the best option with USB C charging (charge and send signal to monitor at the same time) that isn't more expensive because it is clamshell only. For me, I don't need another tablet / stylus device. The biggest downsides of the Pro seem to be poor audio and a chassis that flexes on the 15" model. I've heard the 13" seems more firm.

8gb ram?!

Is it upgradeable? Soldered? So hard to see stuff on their website…

I saw one of these at Best Buy and I was totally disappointed in the OLED screen. There was noticeable screen dooring and it just didn't look like a nice OLED phone/TV/tablet screen. Did they just have a bad sample or is this normal?

I really don't understand Samsung and these deals. I bought the Flex2 Alpha and the shipping date keeps silently slipping. If you buy this don't hold your breath that it'll be delivered anytime soon.

OH and they'll charge you the full amount right away without shipping. Maybe they're just looking for an infusion of interest free cash.

Still waiting on my Alpha as well. Chatted with customer service about it and they said the delivery date is now Sept 28 but offered me an additional 10% off (when it ships). After promotion and student discount brings the total down even further. YMMV.

Well, good news. I found this one out the hard way. After they get you to wait long enough....and after they have made the price reduction promises....then they will cancel your order. Turns out that Samsung has a timer built into their system. If it is not fulfilled in a certain amount of time, the system cancels it. Oh, you can re-order. But that puts you at the back of the line again.

When you demand to speak to a manager, you get told...they are all too busy to speak now. Oh, but they WILL call you back. They will schedule a time to call back and promise to do so.
And that is the last that you will ever hear from them again.

Ask me how I know.

And do not think that an email to corp fixes that. If they read your complaint at all at corp, they never respond.

And why is this good news? I have no idea. But every time they were about to screw me again, they started by telling me that they had good news.

Never understood these high regular prices for 8gb ram & 256 or 500gb ssd with i5, some with i3 & a sale price of what regular price should b.

Samsung gained success by being anti apple greed, now they have adopted the very practices they openly fought against originally. Such a shame. Can still make great profits by making quality products for fair prices. Now its premium prices for nor so premium products aside from some innovative features.

Was deciding between this and the LG Gram 6 months ago. Ended up with the LG Gram.
So far it's a pretty solid and lightweight machine.
The Gram is best in class after the MacBooks.

Tech support I chatted with said yes, it has touch screen on the Pro. They could be wrong though... Free return if it doesn't
Tech support also told me the Flex Alpha 2 has usb c charging…and they were wrong.

I had the Galaxy Pro and it is NOT a touchscreen.
