If portability and versatility are priorities, the MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo with its lighter weight, longer battery life, and touchscreen, which supports a stylus, is likely a better choice. For users focused on gaming or intensive tasks like 3D rendering or machine learning, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers superior performance due to its more powerful GPU. The ASUS is also more favorable for those desiring higher frame rates and better heat management, though this comes at the cost of reduced battery life and increased weight. The MSI, while less suited for heavy graphical tasks, boasts superior screen resolution and quality, making it a better fit for general use and professional environments that prize high fidelity visuals and color accuracy.

The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is very good for gaming and AI, while the MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo is only fair.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 includes a dedicated GPU which excels in gaming and 3D tasks, coupled with a high screen refresh rate that provides a smoother visual experience. The MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo, while featuring a capable CPU, focuses more on versatility and screen quality, but its integrated GPU and standard refresh rate don't match the performance in gaming and 3D applications that the ASUS offers.

The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is very good for engineering and design, while the MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo is good.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 comes with a more powerful NVIDIA RTX 4070 graphics card making it well-suited for engineering tasks that require high GPU performance, whereas the MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo offers flexibility as a 2-in-1 convertible with a sharper display but has less GPU power with its integrated Intel graphics. While both laptops have similar CPU and RAM, which are crucial for engineering and design, the ASUS has a distinct advantage in graphically intensive tasks, and the MSI is more portable and versatile due to its lighter weight and convertible design.

The MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo has a better screen than the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 for general use, engineering and design, and content creation.
For general use, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15's screen offers adequate resolution and brightness, making it pleasant for everyday tasks, but the MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo offers even better resolution and brightness, delivering a more vivid and clearer visual experience. In engineering and design, the MSI Summit stands out with superior color accuracy and wider color gamuts, which are crucial for precision work, while the ASUS provides satisfactory performance for less color-critical tasks. However, for gaming and 3D applications, the ASUS falls short due to a lower refresh rate compared to what's ideal for smooth motion, and while the MSI also lacks a high refresh rate, its superior resolution and panel quality partly compensate, although neither is optimal for fast-paced visual content.

The MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo and ASUS TUF Gaming F15 are both good for general use.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers a high-performance CPU and ample RAM that make it suitable for demanding tasks and gaming, but it's less portable and has a shorter battery life than the MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo, which provides a balance of solid performance, a high-quality screen, and better battery life for on-the-go use, though it may not handle intensive tasks as smoothly as the ASUS. The MSI also benefits from its flexibility as a 2-in-1 device with a touch screen, but both laptops have sufficient storage and quality keyboards, with the ASUS potentially running louder and hotter due to its gaming-oriented design.

"Aside from all the chassis updates, the new TUF Gaming is most notable for its much higher TGP target of 140 W compared to only 95 W on the previous generation. PC makers everywhere are using the same GeForce GPUs this year since Nvidia has yet to launch the successor to the mobile RTX 3000 series. The more demanding processors of the new TUF Gaming has directly impacted battery life and the size of the AC adapter. Don't expect runtimes to be longer than on the previous generation under most conditions and be prepared to carry around an even larger AC adapter than before."

"The MSI Summit E14 Flip convertible review: a legit alternative to HP, Dell or Lenovo. Instead of taking the 13-inch Summit E13 Flip and simply enlarging it for a 14-inch form factor, the Summit E14 Flip is the full chassis redesign we've been looking for. It loses some of the golden trims of its smaller sibling, but the gains in rigidity and build quality are arguably worth it especially from a professional standpoint where reliability takes priority. It doesn't quite feel as strong as the HP Spectre just yet, but it's certainly getting close."
