For a balance of performance and portability with a stunning OLED display, the ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED is a strong choice, especially if you value battery life and a lightweight design for on-the-go use. It's well-suited for general tasks and has a number pad, which is great for productivity. However, its gaming and engineering capabilities are limited compared to the MSI. On the other hand, the MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo offers a versatile 2-in-1 design with a high-resolution touchscreen, making it ideal for those who need a flexible device for note-taking or drawing. It has more RAM and storage, which benefits multitasking and data-intensive tasks. The MSI also provides better performance for gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning, thanks to its more powerful processor and Iris Xe graphics. It's a bit heavier and has a shorter battery life, but it's still quite portable and offers additional security features like facial recognition. Ultimately, choose the ASUS for its superior display and battery life if you're primarily focused on general use and content consumption. Opt for the MSI for its enhanced performance and versatility if you need a device that can handle more demanding tasks and offers the convenience of a touchscreen and 2-in-1 functionality.

Allen Ngo | July 2022
"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."
