For a balance of performance and portability with a stunning OLED display, the ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED is a strong choice, especially if you value a high refresh rate and color-accurate screen for creative work or entertainment. It's also slightly more affordable and has a number pad, which is great for productivity. However, it's larger and heavier than the MSI, and its battery life is shorter, which might impact its portability for you. On the other hand, the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo offers a versatile 2-in-1 design with a touchscreen, making it ideal if you need a tablet mode. It's more compact and lightweight, with longer battery life, enhancing its portability. It also has a higher quality webcam and more RAM for smoother multitasking, but keep in mind that it has a less vibrant IPS display and isn't as suitable for intensive gaming or engineering tasks due to its integrated graphics. Consider your primary use case—if you prioritize a superior display and gaming or creative capabilities, the ASUS is the way to go. But if you need a lightweight, flexible device for general use and productivity on the move, the MSI would be more suitable. Give Feedback

Allen Ngo | April 2021
"MSI wants to prove that it can do more than just gaming laptops and the Summit E13 Flip is a great example of what the manufacturer is capable of especially in terms of aesthetics and performance. Normally for subnotebooks or convertibles, TDP and performance are often below average as makers want to meet slimmer designs and lower weight targets. The Summit manages to outperform others in its size class and category while still looking sleek and portable in the process. If you want a convertible that won't throttle significantly when under load, then this MSI will be one of the better options you can find."
