Q: Does this (Flex 15.6) have 1 or 2 SSD slots? I see the Ion 15.6" GB has 2 SSD slots...

A: It only has 1 SSD slot, the 15.6" version at least. I just got done upgrading the 512 GB SSD to a 2 TB SSD and it's an even better laptop now! I'd assume the 13" has the same amount of slots. The Ion must have a different motherboard. The Ion only has 1 of 2 RAM slots soldered in as well so you can stick in another RAM stick if you want to.

Q: What comes in a box? 15" model

A: A US power charger that has a USB-C plugin instead of the usual AC adapter comes in the box. You also get an S-pen removal tool with a couple extra tips, a USB-A to USB-C adapter and an eject tool for accessing the SDcard tray. The USA version of this laptop apparently doesn't come with the HDMI to USB-C adapter or the white wireless mouse like the Korean version does, which kinda made me sad. Still a beautiful 2 in 1 notebook.

Q: Is the RAM upgradeable on this model or is it soldered to the motherboard?

A: soldered

Q: Can you play the PC version of Call of Duty Modern Warfare on something like this?

A: You can but it will be at low graphics. This laptop does not have a dedicated GPU and uses the graphics built into the CPU. You can add an external GPU to boost performance but if your looking for a laptop for gaming this isn't really the one you would want.

Q: Can Flex SSD upgraded later or when you buy?

A: The NVME SSD can be upgraded after you purchase it by opening up the laptop. I'm going to upgrade my 15" Flex's SSD to a 2 TB SSD from the 512 GB SSD that came with it.

Q: Does it have USB ports or just the thunderbolt ports?

A: This just has 2 Thunderbolt ports and 1 regular USB-C port and does not have any "standard" USB-A ports. It does come with 1 USB-A to USB-C adapter in the box when you buy it, so that helps. You will need to purchase more adapters or be mindful to get other devices or cables that use USB-C connectors in the future. USB-C is the new standard so more and more devices will be ditching the old "standard" USB-A ports especially to keep new laptops slim.

Q: What are others getting for battery life? All updates installed (windows and Samsung Update), 50% screen brightness and "Better Battery" mode, only surfing the web I am getting 5 hours.

A: I don't have the device, but I have heard that if you go though the installation process for all of the initial updates it is supposed to perform better. You can try updating the operating system, BIOS and any apps from the Windows 10 store your have installed on your machine. This should improve the sound quality and some other things on it as well. I have heard people are getting around 10 or so hours, so hopefully that should help at least a bit. The advertised 20 hours for the 13 inch model and 19 hours for the 15 inch version are likely when they are idle since other manufacturers often do the same thing. Another thing you can try is turning off location services and Bluetooth in addition to decreasing the brightness of the screen. These features are known to consume battery life quickly, especially on touch screen laptops. Good luck.

Q: Can you download apps and play games like you can on the tab s6 tablet?

A: Yes you can download apps and games but this runs Windows rather than Android. There is the Microsoft store and you can install anything else that you normally can on a Windows machine. This won't be able to play high end games as it has on board graphics but the same would apply to a tablet as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I usually NEVER review ANYTHING, but - wow-
I usually never bother to write reviews, but after using this beautiful laptop for more than half a year now, I couldn't recommend getting one more - and many of my friends have. I'm a computer science major, so of course I'll dive into the hardware components, as well as software usage, comparing it to other laptops of similar specs as well. For background, I am a college student, who regularly indulges in video editing, coding, and gaming - all in this one laptop. And amazingly, this machine can handle pretty much *anything* you'd want a laptop to do. I've used HP Envys and Lenovo Yogas in the past, as well as Surface books, and many of them have bluescreened due to the amount of stress I need to exert on these machines. But this is an absolute beast - put all your doubts away - and I'll tell you exactly why: HARDWARE -> BATTERY -> In my benchmarks, this laptop lasts about 6-7 hours after medium-load usage, but up to 10 or even 12 with regular browsing, depending on the performance to battery usage ratio you select. This laptop harbors a better battery than the HP Envy (which got recalled btw) or the Lenovo in my experience, as those hit only about 6 hours max of regular usage and worse with medium or heavy loads. PROCESSOR - First and foremost, this laptop's specs pack an i7-1065G7, a 10th gen processor that packs a punch. i7s (even of the same generation) aren't all the same model - and 1065G7 is just about the BEST you can get for a laptop i7 10th gen. In fact, the 1065G7 hits its max clock at 3.90 GHz - and thus used in gaming laptops such as the $1599 Razer Blade Stealth and the $2499 15" Surface Book 3 laptop - the processor comes in retail price at $430 in itself. With 4-core, 8-thread, you'll never have a problem opening up 40 chrome tabs (though RAM is also an important consideration), and I've thus never had browser lag after heavy use on Chrome and Edge. In a lot of systems, you'll run into thermal throttling, but Samsung has it under control with their efficient heat pipes and heat-spreaded design RAM - I've used 16 GB laptops in the past, but 12 GB is really all you'll ever need for a laptop, especially when this laptop uses LPDDR4X type RAM. Leave heavier work for desktops. With a lot of systems, you'll easily take up RAM based on the cache efficiency, but with this machine, I've personally never run into those problems, even with heavy gaming. STORAGE - With 512 GB of SSD, sure, you might have to get an external drive later on, but the SSD is actually upgradable, and I was able to fit a 1TB Samsung 980 Pro NVMe with 7000 Mb/s read/write speeds (one of the fastest in the general consumer market) with no compatibility issues. Besides, this is not necessary, as they use an intel SSD that offers fast enough speeds anyways - better than HP Envy drives. PORTS - They made a bold decision with this 15.6" model by not including USB-A ports, but I just got a Targus hub, so that was not an issue, especially because the USB-C ports are quality Thunderbolt 3 ports with fast connectivity and transfer rates. DISPLAY - for a 1920 x 1080 Full HD display, this laptop is no 4K hunk of steel, but color adjustments and quality were analyzed perfectly, so that deep blacks and true colors are quite precise. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now actual performance-wise: CODING -> I was able to run programs in PyCharm, IntelliJ, and other IDEs relatively quickly for a laptop, allowing me to finish loading my code faster than most of my peers solely due to the power packed into this laptop. GAMING -> Although this laptop isn't specifically meant for gaming, I regularly averaged 120-140 FPS in Minecraft and around 70-90 FPS on Valorant, the latter of which is a much more demanding game. Most laptops wouldn't be able to support such framerates unless they possessed built-in NVIDIA graphics cards, which this laptop only uses Intel Iris Plus graphics. I can most importantly use this laptop on a sturdy, foldable stand from Amazon for about $30, and it functions like a mini desktop with an attached keyboard and mouse, as you can see in the attached images. 2-in-1 is definitely part of what makes this laptop worth its price. VIDEO-EDITING - Sure, this is no desktop rig with a 8K monitor, but the color precision is quite close to the dot compared to a true image, although if you're a professional, you'd use a workstation anyways. All things being said, this would be a perfect on-the-go editing laptop for light editing, or when you need to put finishing touches/overlay audio/import files, especially if you upgrade your SSD to a 980 Pro or a 970 Evo Plus. If you're a photo-editor, the 2-in-1 allows for the usage of the laptop as a tablet, with a very capable pen. Overall, the 2-in-1 feature has allowed me to bring just a keyboard, mouse, laptop, and foldable stand on the go to create a desktop-like experience where my neck doesn't have to crane and it functions in pretty much any manner you would like. If you are looking at laptops and considering HP, Lenovo, or Microsoft, look no further than the 2-in-1 15.6" version, as it really packs a punch for its relatively low price. It has specs averaging a $1800 laptop after much research, and Samsung could not have impressed me more with this product. I take it with me everywhere, and I've received countless compliments on the beautiful color (it looks even better than the images - absolutely mesmerizing) and the utility of the rig. One of my friends actually liked mine so much that she recently got one for herself - which is why I wrote this review. Absolutely a wonderful steal of a product to price ratio if you treat it with the care it deserves. Thanks Samsung, you've really outdone yourself on this one.

My Dream Laptop.
This laptop has everything that I've always wanted in a laptop. The stylus, numeric pad, touchscreen, excellent battery life, and the display. It's simply amazing and breathtaking. I couldn't believe my eyes when I open up the laptop and saw the display, all the colors were crisp, clear. and beautiful. Also as a college student, I love that it has a stylus so I can take quick notes and not to mention that you can also record while taking notes so you can go back and listen to your notes. I also love the battery life, I only need to charge it two times per day in compare to my previous laptop where I needed to charge it 5 times per day. Although this laptop is pricey, I recommend buying it when it is on sale or get an open box version. I bought this during the Black Friday sale and got the excellent open box price and it came with no flaws or scratches. Def try to save as much money as you can but this laptop was worth the money that I paid for. I love it and will keep on using it. I would say that a few cons are the low audio (but that can be easily fix in the settings) and that it is a fingerprint magnet. These things aren't a deal breaker but are minor annoyances.

Beautifully Big, Bold, & Blue
I purchased this laptop after my amazing experience using the Flex Alpha and have been loving it. The reason I prefer this over the Alpha is the bigger screen, S Pen, and USB-C charging. Otherwise, it has mostly the same features. I think battery life is perfect especially for a larger and brighter screen. The battery might last a little less than the 13' inch but that's understandable because of power requirements. Colour is a rich blue that I personally love compared to standard silver or black colors that most laptops have. Many people have issue's with it being a fingerprint magnet but I don't mind it because it's easier to clean. The QLED screen is amazing and I love using it for movies. This laptop is ideal for artists, students, and business professionals. It can also be used for light gaming but I haven't tried running any games on it yet. The sound is acceptable. The fan sometimes runs in the background when performing a large update or running multiple tasks. It doesn't really heat up compared to the 13' inch. S pen sensitivity is amazing and drawing has never felt so satisfying. If I was an artist I can imagine how satisfying it would be to use. Overall I would say it's an incredible laptop from Samsung. Make sure to update it as soon as you get it and it'll be working flawlessly. I recommend contacting Samsung and they will ship you a USB-C to HDMI port if you are looking to connect it to a monitor or TV because the listing says it is supposed to come with one.
