The Eluktronics RP-15 has a larger screen and higher refresh rate, which is great for intensive gaming and engineering applications that can benefit from these features. It is slightly heavier, reducing portability. The MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo is more portable thanks to its lighter weight and smaller screen. It also has double the storage capacity, a higher resolution touchscreen display, and longer battery life, making it a better fit for business tasks and general use where these features are prioritized. Both have similar processing power and memory, and both are in a similar price range, so your choice should be guided by whether you prioritize gaming and engineering needs or portability and business functionality.

Hardware Canucks

Eber Anthony | October 2020
"To conclude, I’m genuinely impressed with Eluktronics and what they have been able to deliver with the RP-15. You see this is all about maximizing performance, cooling, and giving users the most flexible I/O, and then wrapping it into a chassis that doesn’t feel super cheap. Let’s also not forget the price point, I think they have really nailed it in that department."

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."
