MSI makes a 2-in-1 laptop called the Summit E16 Flip. What makes it stand out is that it has a 16-inch touchscreen display in the 16:10 format and a midrange GPU. Our database doesn’t have any direct competitors because most convertibles with the same form factor don’t have dedicated GPUs. Devices like the Asus ExpertBook B2 Flip B2, the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 15, and the Dell Inspiron 16 7620 2-in-1 are among the new competitors.
MSI’s Summit E16 Flip is a business laptop designed for content creators. It has a 16-inch QHD+ display, an Intel Core i7 processor, an Nvidia RTX 3050 laptop GPU, WiFi 6E, a PCIe Gen 4 SSD, and a PCIe Gen 4 SSD. It also has a 2-in-1 form factor. The device’s 360-degree hinge lets you use it as a tent or as a tablet by turning the screen all the way around. Because it has MPP 2.0 technology and the award-winning MSI pen with 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity, digital artists can draw and take notes on its touch display without having to carry around a separate graphics tablet.

Where to get MSI Summit E16 FLIP EVO laptop?
Like its smaller sibling, the Summit E16 Flip has a sleek, all-black body with just a few rose gold accents. The MSI logo on the front and the chamfered edges on the lid and touchpad are the only places where rose gold is used. The chassis and lid corners of the 13-inch model look like those of the HP Spectre line, including the Spectre x360 15, but the larger model doesn’t have those features. However, the rose gold and black color scheme still makes it look like an HP machine.
The Summit E16 Flip is made for creators first and foremost, so it comes with an Intel Core i7 (1195G7) processor clocked at 2.9GHz that can go up to 5.0GHz Single Core Turbo with Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0 and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 laptop GPU with 4GB of GDDR6. The Intel Killer AX1675 (2×2) wireless adapter that comes with the Summit E16 Flip makes it possible to connect to Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.
It’s not surprising that its 16-inch 1660p display and discrete graphics use more power than a 13-inch display on a laptop with integrated graphics. But there are Ultrabooks this size with separate graphics that last longer on a single charge. The Dell XPS 17, which has a 4K 17-inch screen and a discrete graphics card like the Summit E16, has a bigger battery and can run for almost seven hours on a charge (97 WHr vs 82 WHr). The 13-inch Asus ROG Flow Z13 gaming 2-in-1 can keep going for almost five hours.
