It is a good lesson, and one that is frequently repeated in Samsung phone trade in threads - ALWAYS record yourself testing and packing a trade in device for Samsung. Upon your almost certain denial, just hop into live chat and offer to share the video - odds are that the rep will immediately credit you.

Just an FYI. I traded in galaxy tab for the same laptop 2 months ago and Samsung rejected the trade in saying it's broken/cracked. I was 100% in senses when I sent the trade in to Samsung and was well packaged and also had a hard case on it. Now I cannot fight with Samsung saying I sent a clean tablet.
Not going to ship a trade in again. Learnt my lesson.

Update - called Samsung because this post reminded me lol.
Explained the situation. Customer rep looked into the videos and pictures of the trade in their side and confirmed the trade in was received in perfect condition. Getting my $100 back for trade in. Finally! Thanks for this post OP

This is a scam they pull. They're hoping you don't call them up. I've done 40+ trade ins with samsung and probably have had 7 or so that didn't qualify. Most of which, with certainty did not have the issue they claimed. I called them up and they proceeded with the trade in every time.

Was thinking of throwing together a working ipad 2 mini from my graveyard to get this, but then looked again and it has a pretty BS 7 series processor, only 2P cores like an i3 and Raptor Lake processors which is in the midst of a recall. Saw the Lenovo 7i for $250 with upgradable specs and will probably get that.
Do you have a link to the Lenovo?

Why iPad mini 2 is that high...
I just checked my old iPad mini and I have 3rd generation.
FrownFrown iPad mini 3 doesn't appear on the list at all FrownFrown
Sell mini 3 then buy mini 2 from eBay. Profit?

I want to like this price for the Book 4, but the more I read up on reviews and watch videos, it seems underwhelming. It sounds like it's just pretty sub-par, average for this price-point even, as MSRP is very bloated to begin with.

1080p screen, 60hz, bad color reproduction (65% sRGB), 300 Nits, DDR4X RAM (Really??), HDMI 1.4, USB-C 3.2 (Not TB4).

It just seems like there's too many shortfalls, as all of those specs can be found on the same middle of the road laptops from Acer, Lenovo, Dell, etc for the same price point.

I guess what you are getting is the Samsung AI and Software experience for syncing, but that's about it. Give me better color reproduction, a brighter screen, and faster RAM and I'd be in at this price, but it's definitely not an immediate purchase with how it stands today.
I agree with you. I don't particularly need a new laptop, and I coincidentally own an iPad mini 2 that I will never use again, but I don't think I want to spend $306 on this laptop lol.

Samsung trade-in program is definitely getting much much worse nowadays. I did 2 trade-ins in early deal for same model of book4. I factory reset both of them and took photos of them before I shipped them out. Both of them got rejected today. I had to chat with them twice and it turned out their so-call technicians mismatched my trade-in devices with someone else's, very very messy. Here are details:

1. Reason: sent a S8+ tablet instead of ipad min 2. They showed me 4 random photos of someone else's S8+ tablet. Since I took photos of my trade-in device and also they had unboxing video showing my trade-in was ipad min 2 indeed when they received it, they quickly accepted the mistake and fixed the chargeback.
2. Reason: ipad min 2 was not factory reset or unlocked. This one was hard to fight. They again sent me 3 random phots of some ipad min 2 which are not clear enough to tell anything. After I insisted, they sent me the unboxing video of my trade-in. I can confirm that video was actually for my trade-in box. It took me a while to figure out the ipad in unboxing video is actually different from ipad they rejected and sent me the photos. In the unboxing video, their technician did some quick inspection and put a white sticker on the back of ipad as last step. the location of white sticker in the video and the location in the photos are completely different. I pointed it out and they finally accepted their mistake and fixed the chargeback.
So if the iPad mini 2 is not unlocked or factory reset, they won't take it?

The Edge models are the ones with the snapdragon processors. So Edge or bust.

The base Book4 is Acer refurb specs you see here everyday.. The only redeeming quality is the metal build, which you don't normally find on laptops at this price

If I may ask, can you please share with us a few of these middle of the road laptops at this price point?

Which are not only matching or exceeding the specs you mentioned but also:
1. Offer the same metal build quality
2. Offer the same lightness, slimness, finish, etc (portability)
3. Has the convenience of using a USB C fast charger
4. Offer the same processor with 6000 MHz RAM
5. Has a fingerprint and backlit keyboard
6. Offer a great trade in price even if you need to purchase the trade in device

If there are such alternatives, we would love to go for those!

Why would you want a product from a company that would do something like this. Good deal or not, I am always shocked but what folks will tolerate from companies. All you can do is speak with your dollars or it will just get worse.

Almost half of my trade in items were ancient Asus tablets that received an absolutely insane valuation when traded for Galaxy Tab 7s - a few years ago SD helped me get a handful of S7's for around $100/ea, and when the credit is THAT high taking a short video and doing a 5 minute online chat doesn't seem that bad.
