Considering the Eluktronics Mech-15 G3R and the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo, you should weigh up the following: The Eluktronics laptop has a larger screen, higher refresh rate, and a stronger graphics card, making it more suitable for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, and engineering applications. However, it is heavier, less portable, and has a shorter battery life. On the other hand, the MSI is lighter, has exceptionally longer battery life, and a touchscreen - better suited for general use and portability with a premium business look, but it is less capable for demanding tasks due to its integrated graphics. Therefore, if portability and battery life for business use are high priorities, go for the MSI, but if performance in graphics-intensive tasks is a necessity, the Eluktronics is the better option.

Aaron Ritchie | September 2022
"Everything considered, the XMG Neo 15 (Mech-15 G3R) with RTX 3070 Ti is a great gaming performer. The combination of the Ti graphics card with the new Intel 12th gen CPU is enough to go toe-to-toe, and even slightly pull ahead of the RTX 3080 in most titles, though on games with Ray-Tracing enabled, particularly with graphics set to the maximum and on higher resolutions, the additional VRAM of the RTX 3080 makes a big impact, and the 8GB RTX 3070 Ti machine simply can’t compete, even with the more powerful processor."

"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."
