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

I had the Galaxy Pro and it is NOT a touchscreen.
After delaying my order twice....and promising a 10% discount each time, this time "Their system" just automatically canceled my order. I kid you not. They said the system timer expired. Oh, they can place another order...of course, I am then at the end of the line.
So good luck with that. You might as well get them to promise 90% off. Since they will not be shipping it, does not cost them anything.
I totally agree with you. The 10% off only does stick after it ships.
But this is a distinction without a difference. This is playing the violins on the Titanic as it sinks.
It really does not matter if they refund 10%...or refund after it ships.
The reason is that it never shipped. It never will ship. 10% off of NADA is NADA.
I kid you not....They delayed my order 3 times.
They offered me 10% twice.
The DAY after I am told that this has been escalated....that the agent will PERSONALLY follow this till the end and see what they can do to escalate my order, they cancel my order.
When I call to ask WTF....they tell me that the SAMSUNG ordering system has a timer. If an order is not shipped in a certain time, it gets canceled automatically.
Now I know what you are thinking. You are thinking...talk to a manager. Surely you have just gotten a couple of bad agents. Well, on my 3rd attempt to get to a manager, I finally did. (This story is too long and too stupid to cover every time that I called, so I am skipping ahead to the last call with a manager)
Now this is from the Samsung Manager, not a floor agent...and I had her explain it very clearly...there is no misunderstanding.
The order has been canceled and it cannot be brought back. Nobody can override it.
Yes, another order can be created...BUT it cannot be given ANY sort of expediting and no, it does not get any of the credit for the time that my old order clocked. So it is literally to the back of the line.
No, the new order cannot go to the escalation team. It is a new order and does not qualify.
Yes and No...one of my 10% off can transfer, but not both.
Yes, after putting me in the back of the line with no adjustment or compensation whatsoever (Remember, I was even going to lose one of my 10%offs),,, the new order can be canceled too if it takes too long. And I am back to the beginning again.
According to the Samsung Manager, she is VERY SORRY but these are the Samsung Policies and Procedures,,, and nobody can over-ride any part of them.
Yes, they screwed up, but they cannot do a single thing to fix any part of it. And to be very clear, I drilled down on this one because I was certain we were having a misunderstanding.....NOPE.
She actually suggested that if I do not want to wait another 2 months, to go see if I can buy one from a retail store...full price. Samsung cannot offer any discounts via the retailers. (And as bad as it sounds, that is almost verbatim)
Can I escalate further? Yes....apparently there is one more escalation, beyond her that I can try. I can write a letter to the PRESIDENT of Samsung. She has no idea of the turnaround time or if I will ever hear back, but that is it.
So help me G%$% .....the mentality over there is such that if a rapist took over the HR rulebook at Samsung, you would have daily attacks and the execs would be going...YEP, it is ok in the rulebook, Carry On!!!!!
I had been a strong supporter of Samsung products for many years before this.
But this...this is so far past ridiculous that they will never ever see another cent out of me...ever. If I saw a Samsung agent on fire, I would not even pee on them if it might put it out.

I've seen previous SD threads where people were waiting 3 or 4 months for orders, so I'm not sure why they told you that there is some auto-timer that cancels orders. I don't doubt that they told you that but Samsung customer service can be pretty unreliable and I wouldn't be surprised if they cancelled your order because you were promised two 10% discounts. Pretty certain there was a round of Galaxy Tabs that never shipped and people suspected that it was because they were priced too low.

Dramatic? I went through the list of events in the order that they happened. In fact, I cut out a lot to shorten the story. I can't speak for others. And I have no way to verify if what they told me is accurate. I only know why they told me my order was canceled. And since the manager affirmed what I had been told by the tech... I tend to believe it.
And understand, I never demanded the two 10%s. In fact, in neither case did I ever ask for them. They were volunteered.
As far as customer service being unreliable, I would tend to agree....but keep in mind, I was talking to their management as well. In fact, it was the management that was the most ridiculous.
Now as for the chip shortage. I would be more understanding of that. But I am very aware ..and I suspect you can verify here on SD....since my order on Aug 8, Samsung has had two more sales on the Flexbook2 Alpha. Now, what do you think they were selling if they were so back-ordered that they cant fill one from early August?
And frankly, even if it is a chip shortage ...and even if it were a host of other errors, I was not asking for anything extra. I only wanted to be back into the place I was supposed to be in line. You may come up with all sorts of excuses for everything else.....but I seriously doubt that you will be able to come up with an excuse for that. (Do I need to point out that even your excusing them requires to accept the premise that they are highly unreliable?.)
And while we are at it...why exactly is finding somebody who has even gotten worse Samsung Service a reason to excuse the service that I got? Is that how low the bar is now?
