As stated by OP, 4gb of ram which is not upgradeable. Why Samsung, why would you do that?

Because Samsung is an unprofessional company that does not care for their customers, terrible/useless after sales service.
I paid #1400+ for this laptop few months ago now it is 50% of the price, which self respecting company does that?

All companies, especially electronics companies are under market pressure to introduce new "things" to buy. When new models are introduced it is inevitable that last years models are going to be worth less. People are willing to pay a premium for "New" things....... Sad but true.

You paid $1400 for a Sandy Bridge powered series 9 a few months ago? Are you sure you didn't pay that much and get the 3rd gen i5?
I paid $1300 for my Ivy Bridge 15" series 9 a few months ago. This is a really good deal on this laptop if you don't mind not having the latest gen processor and slightly shorter battery life.

Samsung is highly rated for their laptops. Got windows 8 drivers and updates for my samsung laptop and they ran an installer and works great! As in anything in the windows PC world, prices will drop and drop BIG. Noticed all the $299 laptops? I got an 17" HP envy for $599 when it sells for $1299 from HP.
Only wish that happened in the Apple mac world!

I prefer to purchase on the tail end of a product offering. It feels better! LOL
Monday I purchased a Samsung Series 3 NP350V5C-A01C Laptop from Staples on close out for $499. Originally it was selling at Staples for $729.99. It features an Intel Ivy Bridge I5-3210 2.5 GHz processor with turbo boost. All in all it is a nice computer with a non-glare screen and Windows 8. It is only available as an in store purchase, and is sold out in the West Palm Beach, FL area.

Its not ultrabook. It weighs at least 5.5 lbs. It's hard to compare this to the OP's post of laptop.

I don't think he claimed it an ultrabook, nor did he compare or reference that others should choose that deal over the ultrabook listed. I am pretty sure he is simply showing an example of how easy it is to find Windows Laptops at a deep discount if you can settle for the last gen hardware etc.
Either way, seems like the deal for this ultrabook is good. 1600 x 900 is WAAAAYYYY better than 1366 x 768 , and the trend for lower to middle end laptops to have that crappy low resolution is getting old.

Its a good price if you want to buy new rather than used/refurbished. Frontpage at SD and no love here!
