Samsung Offering Sandy Bridge PC Refunds
Samsung is the first out the door with a fix for its customers.
If you've already bought a Sandy Bridge-based computer, you're probably pretty discouraged at the news that there's a flaw in the chipset.
Samsung has already stepped up to the plate and said that it will refund customers' money for those who have purchased a PC from the company. Six models were on the market in South Korea, while there was only one available in the U.S. Only 2,000 to 3,000 units were sold since launch.
Bloomberg's report on the matter centered around Asian computer companies, and listed NEC as a company that may delay the release of its products. Given that the fixed chipset won't be available for a couple of months, a delay seems likely.
Fujitsu, Acer, and Lenovo did not share details on what they intend to do regarding the flaw.

Samsung in no way is legally responsible for the refund. Don't be fooled this is a good public relations move which in the long run will benefit Samsung.
It's NOT the processor....it's the SATA/RAID controller on the P67/H67 based motherboards... Have you actually read any of the dozen or more articles about this????
Since when aren't they legally responsible for the refund if they're selling a product with a flaw?
The issue always in bigger picture, don't believe in everything was typed in online. Intel, removed both mobos and cpus from the market for a reason.
R u sure?? I also have a galaxy s (captivate) and really i bought it at day of release, i've been waiting for froyo since then, thats 6-7 months!! The support always say they don't have a set date for it's release, their support is pretty bad, how can u say quality comes first??
The phone has a lot of bugs, gps doesn't work, phone freezes often....
AmD should be working night and day to introduce top of the line design without flaws right now. I don't understand what are they waiting for.
Get the Buldozer out and feel like a king for a day
I'd be more inclined to blame your network provider than Samsung themselves. Even so, it's easier having a phone which isn't tied to a specific vendor. I was able to update mine to Froyo back in October as soon as it popped up on Kies.
How would you feel if you bought one of those products that has an "issue won't even be an issue for quite some time?" I wouldn't want to use a computer only to have to send it back later with all my data, and without a spare to work with. That's a lot of hassle. Kudos to Samsung for doing this. Now those customers have a choice of waiting until Sandy Bridge is fixed, or buy a computer without that flaw now. Choice is always good.
With the tone of the articles on toms hardware i can understand why you think that...its as tough the whole pc will fail and all my data erased....but in reality its a tiny problem that wont be notice by most and is easily avoided, really easily avoided.
