Search for NP730QED-KA3CA, for those who have Samsung's vouchers it could be a good 2-in-1 laptop with a vibrant OLED screen.
Things I hate about this laptop:
- the screen is overly reflective, which makes it barely usable near windows/bright light sources though the screen itself is pretty bright
- battery life, I got 5-6 hours most under light loads. It is nowhere near Samsung's claims of 18 hours.
- keyboard layout
- squeaky chassis - had to use teflon tape to put between the case and its bottom cover
- speakers are subpar
- slow SSD
- weak WIFI reception
- slow microSD reader
Exactly what I was trying to get but apparently my coupon code was used... If anyone has any that work I want to upgrade my wife's laptop with this as for use-case, this is perfect.
I got this same notebook for $565 last August. I replaced the ssd with 2tb WD SN570. For my use case it's a great notebook, love the form factor and weight. At $515 I think it's a good buy.
I bought this a year-ish ago because of the battery life claims + Iris XE for low end gaming
Battery life was terrible so I ended up returning it and buying an M1 Macbook Air
Installed Windows through Parallels and is mostly does what I need it to now

So, with all those cons you should be a masochist to buy this
Given it's a premium 2-in-1 ultrabook, at this price point this deal is superhot. I compared it side-by-side to Macbook Air M2 and 14" MBP playing HDR content - it just blew them away.
Thanks OP!
Your post definitely doesn't entice anyone to pull the trigger but for a full fledged 2 in 1 premium laptop for $465 (stacked 2 coupons), it's a steal!

Not a fan of Samsung laptops for a number of reasons.
But having said that (and slightly off-topic), the new Book 3 Ultra looks really good aside from awful battery life (wish they went with AMD instead of Intel again).

What is the 150 coupon? I have the 50 coupon but would like know where to get the 150.

Then you also need an external 14inch amoled screen
plus many other things like keyboard, more ram (8Gb vs 3Gb) alas it is not upgradeable and storage, 61Wh battery, etc. - so overall it's much more versatile bundle than a mere stationary media player

It's the mr0 coupon for anyone who bought the s23 ultra.

Mr0 coupon for customers who bought the s23 ultra
I see that $50 off is a Mr0 coupon; I have two from buying two S23 Ultras.
Are you saying that the $150 off is also a Mr0 coupon? (ie. it was either $50 off and/or $150 off that was offered depending on orders)

$150 coupon was from flip 4 cancelled order
Thanks for the clarification. I guess, it's a no go for me unless someone wants to exchange his/her $150 off with one of my $50 offs (DM me in that case).
