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 was between the pro 360 and flex2 alpha and opted for the flex2 (also i7 and 16gb ram).
The 360 doesn't have a slot for the pen, so I know I'd lose it anyway.
The most important factor for me was the fact the flex display can get much brighter and I like to use it outside.
I went for the alpha because the qled display gets significantly brighter than the pro's amoled display.
The pro 360 might be a little sturdier and lighter, but to me the ability to go to 600 nits with an outdoor mode makes the alpha the better option

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?
This was my experience. Still waiting on my laptop, Grey galaxy chomebook, that ordered Aug 13th. Est delivery is Sept 28th..
Edit: bugs = buds... ugh auto correct.

How many bugs do you need, until it gets cold out, I can probably supply you with all you want

I know that had to wreck the day.

samsung customer service is horrible. this is due to folks just buying their crap because it has the samsung name on it. once that stops things will change quickly, but for now the CS is crap at best.
Once the laptop ships, you have to chat again and provide the reference number from the first chat for them to apply the 10%, so make sure you save it and take a screenshot.
