The Samsung Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha 2-in-1 launched in 2021 as Samsung's compact convertible for students and mobile professionals who wanted a touchscreen laptop that folded into tablet mode without carrying a separate stylus. It shipped under model numbers including NP730QDA-KA1US and NP730QDA-KB1US, built around 11th Gen Intel Core i5 or Core i7 chips. It still holds resale value because the S Pen is built in rather than sold separately, the QLED display is unusually good for this class, and Windows convertibles with a bundled pen remain in steady demand for note-taking and light creative work. Pick your processor and storage configuration in the picker above, choose the condition that matches your unit, and you get a live cash offer right away. Read how the process works before you commit, or head to the sell your laptop category page if you have more than one device to move.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Intel Core i5, 11th Gen (Tiger Lake)
  • Intel Core i7, 11th Gen (Tiger Lake)
  • The i7 tier moves resale value up the most, since it also pairs with the higher storage option in most listings

Graphics

  • Integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics
  • No discrete GPU on the Alpha variant
  • Fine for productivity, browsing, and note-taking; not built for gaming or heavy rendering

Storage

  • 256GB NVMe SSD
  • 512GB NVMe SSD
  • The 512GB tier is the more sought-after configuration for buyers who want fewer storage compromises

Display & audio

13.3-inch QLED FHD touchscreen with a 360-degree hinge, letting the laptop fold flat into tablet mode. The panel's color output is a step above the typical TN or basic IPS screen found on convertibles in this tier.

Built-in S Pen, stored in a garaged slot inside the chassis, so it charges and travels with the laptop instead of getting lost separately.

Fingerprint reader integrated into the power button for Windows Hello sign-in, in place of a face-recognition camera.

Ports & connectivity

The Flex2 Alpha keeps its port selection compact, which is typical for a 13-inch convertible built around thin-and-light design.

Wired
  • Two USB-C ports (data and charging)
  • microSD card reader
  • 3.5mm headphone/microphone combo jack
Wireless
  • Wi-Fi 6
  • Bluetooth

Battery, build & more

Finishes. Royal Blue anodized aluminum lid and deck, consistent across the configurations sold in the US.

Software. Ships with Windows and Samsung's companion apps for pen input and phone-to-PC linking; a factory reset restores the original Windows install.

Market positioning. Sits in the mid-tier convertible bracket, aimed at buyers who want an included stylus and a touchscreen without paying for a discrete GPU they will not use.

Accessories. Original USB-C power adapter adds to resale appeal, since replacements are easy to lose and buyers notice when one is missing.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Go to Settings → System → About in Windows, or press Windows key + R and run msinfo32 for the full system model string. The model number, including the suffix that identifies the processor and storage tier, is also printed on the sticker on the underside of the laptop. If neither is available, our model finder walks through the same steps for laptops in general.
02 How do I tell it apart from the standard Galaxy Book Flex2?
The regular Galaxy Book Flex2 (without "Alpha" in the name) adds a discrete NVIDIA MX350 GPU and is offered in larger screen sizes, while the Alpha sticks to integrated Intel graphics and the 13.3-inch QLED panel only. Checking Settings → System → About will show "Alpha" in the device name if you have this model, and the sticker underneath will show an NP730QDA prefix rather than the different model number used on the non-Alpha Flex2.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or if it won't turn on?
Yes, damaged and non-functional units are accepted, and the condition picker above adjusts the offer to match. A cracked screen, a battery that no longer holds a charge, or a laptop that won't power on can still be sold; just select the condition that matches. Before shipping, sign out of your Microsoft account and remove the device from it, since a device still tied to an account cannot be resold or refurbished.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Condition and completeness matter most. A screen and hinge that work cleanly, a battery that still holds a reasonable charge, and the original charger all push the offer up. Having the higher storage and Core i7 configuration also helps, but a well-kept i5 unit will still outvalue a battered i7 one. If your exact condition doesn't fit the picker cleanly, a custom quote request gets you a more precise number.
05 How do I erase it and remove my accounts, and how do I get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC, choose "Remove everything," and confirm. Before that, remove the device from your Microsoft account under account.microsoft.com so it no longer shows as an active device, and if BitLocker is enabled, suspend it first so the reset completes cleanly. Once the offer is confirmed, shipping is free and insured, and payment goes out after testing by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full step-by-step guidance is in our data erasure protocols.
