Q: Is this compatible with the S-Pen?

A: From what I have seen through reviews, no it doesn’t work with S-pen. From my own experience, I bought the wacom bamboo ink 2nd gen and it works flawlessly.

Q: I bought a Flex Alpha and Samsung S Pen. How do I use the S pen on it? Is there something I have to download or a change in the laptop itself?

A: I bought an S Pen to use with my Samsung Flex Alpha after being told it was compatible and could be bought separately ( I was told this by both Best Buy and Samsung- this was one of the reasons I choose to purchase the Flex Alpha versus the Flex). However, after speaking to both best buy and Samsung for a long time, it was discovered that the S Pen could not be charged on the Alpha due to there being no slot. I am also not convinced that it would be able to connect without the a slot. The rep from Samsung seems to believe that if you have another device with an S Pen, the S Pen will also work on the Flex Alpha. I'm a little doubtful as again, there is no port to charge / connect it to. If anyone ends up being able to buy an S Pen and use it with the Flex Alpha without having another S Pen compatible device, please let me know!

Q: Can a USB-C charger be used to charge the laptop specifically via the USB-C port? To be more specific, can one charge the laptop via its USB-C port? Thanks.

A: This device CANNOT be charged via the USB-C port. This is in contradiction to what Samsung's official website claims, as well as their customer support agents have stated. I have tried an Anker USB-C charger, as well as an Apple 30W USB-C charger. No luck with either. I took a chance on this feature when buying this computer, and was unfortunately found to be as such. This is severely disappointing for a laptop released in 2020.

Q: Can I use a non s-pen device to write on this (ex. wacom or n-trig pen)? I have other pens that I use on an existing surface pro 3 that I would like to use with this laptop....

A: Since this laptop doesn't come with a pen, I used my husband's pen for his surface pro on my laptop and it worked.

Q: Is the RAM expandable?

A: No, it's soldered.

Q: Is this laptop good for college specifically nursing and opening multiple apps at once.

A: Don't know what specific needs you would need for nursing. I'd assuming it would meet them though. It's great for multitasking, I wish I had this when I was in college.
