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.
Dang! Nothing "Pro" about 8gb ram… my Flex2 Alpha has 16gb ram… if it ever gets delivered. 😐
8gb ram?!

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

Quote from FuschiaRaccoon516 :
What a ridiculous thing to exaggerate lol. I own the alpha 2 and have had the opportunity to use the pro as well, and while I agree the alpha 2 is better built, by no means is the pro some sort of awfully built $300 looking machine. Also speaking from having owned several "well" built laptops with aluminum chasis, they retain significantly more heat which can be extremely uncomfortable to use, especially Intel variants. I don't think I'd have payed $1200 for this laptop, but $600 for these modern specs, extremely lightweight, and amazing display is a great deal. The qled 2-in-1 alpha 2 I got with I7 / 16GB ram / 512GB storage for $750 was an awesome price too. I can't recommend it enough for people who want a laptop of this type, even if they don't need a 2-in-1

Just to clarify, I recognize that the weight and configurations alone make this comparable to the LG gram and I do not think it's worth $300, I am saying that it feels like the build quality of a $300 laptop. I have since found that it is a weaker spec aluminum than the 360 so I'm sure it's durable enough for the average consumer, I just expect something that feels more reassuring at this price point

There is no way in any shape or form you can compare this to a $300 laptop! It is an extremely well built laptop that is crazy light. To get the weight down the body does have flex. If the flex bothers people then they should be buying a heavier laptop.

You can always chat with order support and tell them you want to return to get say "LG gram or something else in same price range" then tell them if they can offer anything to change my mind. They gave me 10% (or $100 max refund) to me a week ago.

Quote from LovelyAction2335 :
Update! Since a few days ago, Samsung has changed their policy. You CAN NO LONGER ask to return shipped item and they will offer 10% to keep the item. They have now decreased it to 5%. You may be able to still request 10% if you claim that you have a documented ticket of a samsung rep telling you of the 10% before on the order you are calling in for. But otherwise, you are now limited to 5%.

Can you return the earbuds along and keep the laptop? It looks like I will get $199 refund for the earbuds?
