You can choose to upgrade to i7 and 16gb of ram and still get an education discount.

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.

very light weighted. i am not sure AMOLED is a plus or not as my eye is sensitive to low pwm flickering.
I got the alpha with an i7 and 16gb of ram.

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

Has Samsung laptop quality massively changed? Every Samsung laptop I have used has been really finicky and not well built, and not well supported.

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?
Just recieved this and opened the box for the galaxy chromebook and saw this! First one I got had a crooked hinge, and now this? OMG - https://www.reddit.com/r/samsung/...x_for_the/

8gb ram not 16gb ram option. For most people, 16gb of ram isn't necessary

Is this working for anyone now? I tried yesterday and today, not getting the discount described here and the bugs aren't free either.

Edit: bugs = buds... ugh auto correct.

They had my note 8 for 2 months once and my note 10 for over 3 months to fix the screen. I demanded they buy the devices (seperate occassions) and they did and sent me a check for full price on both devices even though i bought them elsewhere.

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.

Does the "cancel trick" still work? I go to cancel item button and it asks for a reason. I'm nervous that it will actually cancel my order. I saw on reddit some people 8 months ago were saying that Samsung fixed this and it no longer works.

It will actually cancel your order if you click. You have to contact customer service, best to do it via chat, and complain about something for them to offer 10%. Make sure you mention that you may have to cancel the order.

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.

Ordered alpha 2 on Aug 31st, was expected delivery of 21st Sept, shows 28th now. Chatted twice , first was told will receive by 28th, yesterday second rep said will receive by original expected date of 21st. Not offered 10% discount both times.
Have anyone figured out how many days do they have timer for cancellation ? is it a month ?
