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.

I bought one on Swappa.com for $450 last week and didn't have to worry about my trade in getting stolen or lost. I think there are more around that price now too. https://swappa.com/listing/view/LYHW44855

1. The build is the only thing I'll give to this laptop, the metal is nice.
2. 3.5 lbs is standard for A LOT of ultrabooks/mid-range laptops now, same dimensions - if not smaller with 16:10 ratios to boot.
3. USB-C charging is very common across mid-range laptops now.
4. Sorry bud, this isn't DDR5/DDR5X RAM, it's DDR4X 4266 MHz on the Sammy. Even mid-rangers are getting DDR5/DDR5X at 5000+ MHz - better for iGPUs too.
5. Fingerprint and backlit are very common... seriously a selling point?
6. Again, it's common, as others have even stated. Several deals floating on here for Lenovo, Acer, Dell, etc in the $300-400 range for comparable specs.

The Intel Core 7 150U is also disappointing compared to the earlier AMD 7800 series and now 8800 series in laptops. That Intel Xe iGPU gets crushed as well by the 780M/880M on AMD. Just saying...
The point is the $306 price point, but let's just say 400 or under. So while you are stating all of these things, how about actually giving some examples?
2. Name a 15" laptop that is 3.5lbs or less with 16gb ram for under $400.
3. USB-C is common in mid range laptops but hit or miss on under $400 laptops. Dealbreaker for majority of people.
4. Who cares? Target audience of this laptop will not care or ever notice the speed of the memory.
5. Fingerprint and backlit keyboard are becoming more common, but many of the under $400 laptops still lack them. Lack of backlit keyboard is a dealbreaker for many people.
6. And none of those have this combo of build quality, light weight for a 15", and16gb memory. Please give examples of those that do fit this description.

Does that ipad mini even get software updates or latest iOS? You will have issues with this very soon as apps begin to require a certain iOS.

Anyone notice under specs for Galaxy Book 4 it says 15.6" touchscreen display? It definitely doesn't have one, but specs say it does.
You received your laptop and confirmed it doesn't have a touchscreen?

I really wish Samsung would break up listings of each variety (book4, book4 pro, book 4 360, book4 pro 360, book4 ultra) of the Book4 since they are drastically different.

It goes up to iOS 12. Most apps still work like YouTube Netflix and other streaming apps. If not it will let you install the last compatible version

The display holds up well and I like the size in general. Shame that nobody else makes small tablets with high res screens except Apple

Just because it lets you install the last version doesn't mean it will work. Some apps require you to be at a certain version or higher or it will not work. To get that higher version requires a higher OS version. For example, I had an old tablet with a beautiful OLED screen that i only need to watch media on an airplane and travel. However, it stopped getting updates and so it cannot update to more recent versions of the United app, which is now required to watch their movies on most of the newer planes. The United app displays a message to update the app and will not let you continue. This is pretty common now.

The matte IPS screen is washed out, it's heavy, 720p cam, no thunderbolt, only hdmi 1.4, and the CPU is actually a rebranded raptor lake from 2 years ago.

After tax and cost of buying an iPad it was $400+ which is entering Acer refurb territory

Idk about your situation but it works for the stuff I use which is streaming, Facebook, reading comics. Just don't install banking apps or VPN

No vpn means no Max or Paramount+ in another country, among other services. If it works for you, then you do you, but from someone who is an experienced traveler, I can tell you it will be limiting for most people. Also if I didn't have United app, it means no wifi on the plane to watch your streams (so you will always have to remember to download ahead of time).

I certainly would not pay and keep an old tablet that cannot be updated anymore, no matter how cheap but you do you.

If you don't like this laptop, there are other Samsung laptops to choose from to use this trade in. Maybe they will bring back the offer for the book4 edge later.

Confirmed no touchscreen. Picked it up at Best Buy same day. Screen is just ok, laptop performance is pretty incredible and the out of box battery life is pretty legit.

Does anyone know how a store pick up (at Best buy) with trade in work?

Can we drop off the trade in unit at the store?

You will receive a fedex shipping label in your inbox to send in your trade-in after you pick up at Best Buy.

Do they give you a box to send iPad back in? Last time I did a trade in a few years ago, they mailed a shipping box to minimize damage.

Thank you OP. I was looking for an inexpensive, decent laptop that felt well made.

BTW, the tax calculation was a little weird for me (93907 zip, California). They calculated tax on the $900 price ($63) and then added that to the $307.
