We have had a ton of people ask us whether we would be getting more of these machines in after we sold out last time. We have some good news we have finally been able to secure some more stock. Even better we have dropped the price! Very limited stock though!

We expect this last shipment to arrive before the 30th but we are just hedging our bets as there have been a lot of delays recently due to the amount of windows 8 stock that has been pushed back to the end of the month. If the stock arrives sooner we will start shipping immediately.

UPDATE: Price drop on the np900x3c-a01 as well: http://flingshot.com.au/products/samsung-np900x3c-a01

This time we are going to play a slightly different game. Somewhere on our site we have hidden a link, find it and post the code on the page it links to and we will give you a $50 voucher for anything on the site. One winner only first in best dressed.

Winner from the previous deal the Netgear comp was wtfnodeal, PM us for your voucher code.

          Audix i5 is around $100 (+$8, shipping) Amazon at the moment. However, I decided to just go for trusty Shure SM57 from an authorised dealer instead though :)

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 20/11/2012 - 19:39

          Oh the humanity! Just kidding. But seriously you should definitely try out the i5.

          Keep in mind with that, Amazon doesn't charge tax, so our price is technically cheaper if not effectively. That said if you want the i5 we will match it for you even if you want to wait for a while before purchasing. We are starting to bring in stock of smaller items like mics which will mean our shipping times will go down from 3-4 weeks to 5-7 days.

    "Even better we have dropped the price!"
    The price is more expensive than last time $585 (after $50 coupon) compared $598.

    Could you offer the same price as last time?

    Additionally, the option of Ram upgrade last time was $50, but now is $57.

    Could you add the option of upgrade to SSD as well?

    If we r gonna order it now, when the item will be dispatched? Thanks!

    • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 20/11/2012 - 19:22

      The coupon was for the np550 not the np530, so the price last time was $635 shipped.

      As for the RAM it is $57 now vs $50 last time, but it is still cheaper with 8GB than last time. We changed the price to take into account the installation and testing time.

    • devilin101 on 20/11/2012 - 19:26

      Last time its $635. The $50 coupon applies to the more expensive higher end Samsung model. I know because I ordered one and tried the coupon thinking it would work this ultrabook.

    Would it be enough? any upgrade option on SSD?

    Thanks

    • MATTDAMON on 20/11/2012 - 19:52

      Le google says it accepts standard 7mm drives, so you can upgrade it yourself. Alot of the new SSD's are 7mm compatible.

        • vid_ghost on 21/11/2012 - 16:12

          24GB is a cash drive SSD for the 500GB ( not a hard drive partition or SSD ).. it pretty much makes this laptop boot super fast and feel snappy but with the added bonus of 500GB's

          I wouldnt bother buying an SSD unless you were very fussy about power usage and the extra speed on installing apps.

    As I wanna connect the Laptop to 2 external monitors for EXTENDED display, I wanna know what that VGA port is? Thanks!

    • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 20/11/2012 - 20:34

      It only has a single video output. So you would need something like the toshiba dynalink in order to run two external monitors.

      • Bargain Fighter on 20/11/2012 - 22:13

        Hi, my curent Old HP laptop dv4-1540 has a normal HDMI and one normal VGA.

        I could use one HDMI connect to one monitor and VGA port to connect to another monitor and it works perfectly fine.

        By the way, how to do fresh install Win 8? as there is an express SSD for boosting speed.

        Thanks!

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 20/11/2012 - 23:16

          Unfortunately most of the ultrabooks only have a single video out. Which is why you would need an external device if you wanted two monitors.

          If you pay for the win8 upgrade you can do a clean install on these machines, the caching ssd won't affect that.

        • Bargain Fighter on 20/11/2012 - 23:49

          But the ultrabook still has 2 ports both HDMI and VGA (needs adapter).

          So, I can easily format and do a clean install as usual. The SSD is just physically there installed for caching purpose.

        • Bargain Fighter on 21/11/2012 - 00:46

          I just GG, the Ive bride supports upto 3 monitors (Sandy bridge is 2)

          however, I only connect to 2 monitors with laptop screen off.

          do u think the laptop supports it?

        • Bargain Fighter on 21/11/2012 - 02:08

          hi Rep, does the laptop include the VGA dongle in the box?

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 21/11/2012 - 08:18

          Sorry I think I was very unclear above. There is one digital out (HDMI) and one analog out (VGA w/ break out cable) the cable is optional though. As long as you have a monitor with an analog in and another one with digital two monitors should be ok. You will have issues though if both monitors require VGA.

        • Bargain Fighter on 21/11/2012 - 08:29

          Is the VGA dongle/ adaper included in the box? Samsung website says it is included

          (The VGA port is samsung proprietary port and is around $40 on Amazon, I therefore have to make sure abt this)

          Thanks!

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 21/11/2012 - 08:34

        • Bargain Fighter on 21/11/2012 - 08:56

          thanks Rep, it's stupid that SS makes an inconvenient proprietary VGA port and sells it separately for pricey over $40

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 21/11/2012 - 09:04

          Well the issue is the size of a VGA port, they just don't fit in an ultrabook chassis, so they need to make a breakout cable. That costs more obviously and very few people want it as HDMI is built in. So it just adds to the expense. Basically the people buying those cables are subsidizing the cost of putting a useless hole into everyone else's machine ;)

        • Bargain Fighter on 21/11/2012 - 09:18

          instead of a proprietary port, a mini VGA could be a better alternative :-).

          this makes me reconsider to purchase this Laptop and might think of Acer S3 i7 - 2nd Gen with 256Gb SSD (1.35kg) offered by OnlineComputer for $699 (after $99 cash back)

      • marquise on 21/11/2012 - 07:07

        I upgraded my ram yesterday. There is a 4GB onboard and only 1 free slot. I bought a 8GB DDR3 1600 SODIMM module and stuck it in. Thanks to Flingshot support for actually checking a 8GB module would work! Many sites only say it supports 8GB max, so I wasn't sure if only an additional 4GB would work.

        Anyway, it is working nicer now with 12GB ram. SSD is my next upgrade.

        RAM upgrade should not void warranty as it is outlined in the manual. Not sure about HD upgrade though.

          Hi Marquise,

          Do we have to purchase the RAM from the same manufacture with the on-board one? To what I know, RAM from different manufacturers might cause unexpected issue sometimes (unstability)

          How much for the RAM, where u get it and how easy to do?

          We need a special screw tool? Where to get it? Thanks!

          Do you think 12GB will actually be nicer, as I think the Laptop will never use up 8GB? So no difference between 8GB and 12GB, What are your opions?
