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.

          I bought Kingston ram from MSY for $42.
          Firstly kill the battery power to the board by removing AC adapter and using a paperclip to push a little hole at the bottom (You'll know when you do this correctly as the unit won't power on again without the AC adapter.

          Remove one screw and prise off the cover which is held in with clips. Push in ram module at an angle then in and level it off. Then pull the side clips out and up and over the ram sides so it stays put. It was a bit fiddly so just try different things until you get it to stay.

          Don't remove that silver coloured sticker, it improves the wifi signal.

          Put back together, plug in AC adapter and turn on.

          There is definitely an improvement. Whether I could have made do with 8GB total is irrelevant for such small cost.

          Thanks buddy! as I'm thinking abt doing it myself with upgrading to 12GB or selecting the 8GB upgrade option provided by flingshot

    • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 21/11/2012 - 08:25

      It depends on the issue honestly, usually we will just swap the machine out, however you have the option of having Samsung repair it.

      For RAM it won't void the warranty and if the RAM itself fails, which is pretty rare then it is covered by a lifetime warranty in almost all cases.

      For the SSD the same applies, except usually a 3 year warranty.

      You will get a GST receipt. People usually want that so they can claim the GST back if they are going overseas. You don't actually need a GST receipt to claim something on your taxes, you could buy a laptop overseas for work and still claim it.

        But if your audited you need to show proof that GST was paid on the item (in the form of a reciept) i would be very careful about offering tax advice if your not accredited.

          I think you missed my point. I wasn't saying you could claim the GST back on an overseas purchase. I was saying that you do not have to pay GST on a purchase in order to claim it on your taxes as for business purposes.

          Example: I am in the Hong Kong and buy an iPad which I use to run my business, obviously I can claim this on my taxes.

          Copie, the question by ReSublimity refers to claiming a tax refund based on a laptop for work purposes (well a tax refund from the income tax paid), what you are thinking for GST is the TRS - Tourist Refund Scheme (When you leave the country and you claim GST back).

      Unfortunately not, in order to get this price we needed to commit to a large quantity. We hope to have it earlier obviously, but we are not going to promise people they will have them in 2 days and then have it take 10. If you need something desperately then unfortunately this is not the deal for you, if you can wait a week then it is a pretty great price.

    • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 21/11/2012 - 11:42

      We just dropped the prices on the Samsung 9 series windows 8 machines, for the moment that is the best deal you are going to see on the x4c's. The difference is the previous generation only had a 128GB SSD the new one has a 256GB.

      You can always opt for an SSD upgrade on one of the NP530 machines.

      • skashifz on 21/11/2012 - 11:58

        oo. So you will replace HD with the SSD? If you replace, the 24GSSD+500GHD with a 256G SSD on NP530U3C-A05 (which is advertised for $758), What will be price for that ? Second question is Do you upgrade these options yourself or Samsung gives you those machines with the required configurations ? Thanks for the reply by the way.

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 21/11/2012 - 16:58

          We upgrade them ourselves. I will have to get back with pricing on the 256GB.

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 21/11/2012 - 21:32

          Sorry crazy day over here at FSHQ. If you want a 256GB option we will need to add $250. Honestly it is not the best price you can get for a 256GB SSD but that is the current pricing we have unfortunately.

        • skashifz on 22/11/2012 - 01:07

          Oooo, But will removing the current SSD+HD not reduce that amount? I thought you could replace that and add the amount. If not, then Can I add/replace SSD with the current HD+SSD without problems to Warranty ?

        • skashifz on 22/11/2012 - 14:43

          I am actually happy to order one. A Quick question though, If I add the SSD, will you reinstall the system on the SSD? and how will it recover if a recovery is required. Will you be able to make this current HD as secondary and the new SSD as primary ? I am not sure how will the recovery process work as I am aware of on DVD based recoveries. Thanks for the information.

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 23/11/2012 - 00:30

          The system will be cloned to the new drive. Samsung recovery software is smart enough to know how to recover to a different partition size. Unlike some manufactures who shall remain unnamed.

        • skashifz on 23/11/2012 - 11:42

          Thanks very much and how can I order with new SSD in it on new price? Will it have both drives or only one ? Let me know how to order this one. Thanks for answering questions.

    If we choose te SSD option, do we get to keep the original HD? Might be more beneficial to some if you do the SSD upgrade yourself - you get a 500gb drive which with a $3 USB HD enclosure, can be made into an external drive.

    • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 23/11/2012 - 00:35

      The machine just ships with the SSD for the upgraded models. But you can definitely do it yourself and keep the drive as an external. Just depends on your technical ability but most people on OZB should be able to do it themselves.

  • marquise on 29/11/2012 - 06:52

    I upgraded my NP530U3C-A03 to Windows 8. After doing so you need to go to the following site to get the Samsung Win8 drivers/software:
    http://www.samsung.com/au/support/win8upgrade/

    It is a pain to install all the components and took many tries, but you definitely need the "Settings" software to be able to use the FN keys to change brightness. If you have trouble, try rebooting into safe mode (with networking) and try installing some of it that way.

    I like Win8, it boots in so much faster than Win7 that I have less of an urge to install a SSD.

    The only major thing I don't have working yet is getting the Intel SSD caching (big selling point of an ultrabook!).

    Got this from Flingshot today:

    Hi There,

    Just writing with an update on your order. Unfortunately Samsung was unable to provide us with enough stock of the model NP530U3C-A03 which we originally ordered, so they have replaced the remaining units with the newer windows 8 model, the NP530U3C-A04. This model has identical specifications, but is running windows 8 out of the box so there is no need to pay $15 to upgrade.

    We will be providing tracking numbers as we ship each order via email. We expect all orders will be received by next Friday at the latest.

    Hope you enjoy your new laptop!

    If you have any questions regarding your order just send us an email.

    Hi Rep,

    Recieved an email yesterday from you guys saying that the Samsung NP530U3C-A06AU is been upgraded to a Samsung NP530U3C-A02AU.

    How is this an upgrade when the CPU is an i5 and the ultra book I order is an i7 ? and also the hard drive bay is only a single drive bay. And finally the ultra book I order is shown with an actual value of $1299 and the one you are saying is an upgrade is only valued at $1099.

    So please explain to me how is this an upgrade?

    • colmjoseph on 01/12/2012 - 14:09

      Sorry for the confusion, there was a typo in our original email. We have since sent out a follow up email advising of the mistake.

      Our original email had the replacement model to the NP530U3C-A06 as the NP540U3C-A06 (not the NP530U3C-A02 you posted above). You are 100% spot on, this is not a suitable replacement.

      As per our follow up email, it will be replaced with the NP540U3C-A02. specs can be found here: http://www.binglee.com.au/samsung-np540u3c-a02au-540u3c-note…

      We had an error in our tracking links, which we thought had been fixed but it seems like that may not be the case. I will get someone to go through and verify them. In the meantime can you send us an email with the order number again if you have not already and we will chase it up.
