The Gigabyte Aorus 15P is more suitable for gaming and intensive engineering tasks with its powerful GPU and larger screen, but this comes at the cost of lower portability and shorter battery life. On the other hand, the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is more portable with a better battery life, and is adequate for general use and business applications; plus, it has a touchscreen. If portability and longer use on a single charge are important to you, go with the MSI. If higher performance is needed, especially for tasks like 3D rendering or gaming, the Gigabyte would be a better choice. Give Feedback

Mike Wobker | June 2021
"The Aorus 15P is a high-end gaming laptop with fast 360 Hz display. Gaming performance in the Aorus 15P YD is very high thanks to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 installed here. However, with the use of the Intel Core i7-11800H, CPU performance also closes in on the strong competition from AMD. SSD performance is excellent as well, and it leaves no room for criticism. Thanks to the built-in Intel Core i7-11800H, the system performance of the Aorus 15P YD increases significantly."

"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."
