So tomorrow I will receive delivery of a new: Samsung 530U3C-A06PT. I will post more detailed specs tomorrow.
I plan on performing the following step's based on reading the above (specifically as per #202), please provide some thoughts on this: - Update BIOS using Samsung Windows updater (Win 8) - Decrease Win 8 partion size - Reboot and confirm Win 8 Ok - Reboot and disable UEFI/secure boot - Change USB to first boot priority - Reboot and install Ubuntu 13.04-desktop-amd64 - downloaded today (Using a reliable USB stick made with steps from: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows) - See what happens! I will grab further system/machine info upon delivery tomorrow before attempting the above. I have also sent a message to Samsung querying their best practice/advice but don't hold much hope on an answer before tomorrow.
