Hi Christopher, it's NP900X3C-A03US

>From what I've read online, these Samsung laptops have a buggy firmware
and Samsung doesn't have a fix (from what I could gather).  It seems
that in Windows with Samsung's driver package, some piece of software is
able to detect that the EC firmware has gotten into a bad state and
reset it, while without those drivers (or in Ubuntu) one has to turn off
the machine and press a special pin-hole button on the bottom of the
laptop to reset that component, after which it'll work again for a while
and then get into a bad state.

The issue continues (of course) on 13.10 as well.
