The Lenovo Slim 7 16 offers a robust AMD Ryzen processor with a dedicated Nvidia graphics card, suitable for gaming and engineering, and has a larger 16-inch display, but it's heavier and bulkier than the MSI. The MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo, while more expensive, offers a high-resolution 14-inch touchscreen, twice the storage, and a more portable design with a quality build; however, it relies on integrated graphics, which may not be as suited for intensive 3D tasks or gaming as the Lenovo. If portability and a higher-resolution screen are priorities over gaming or intensive graphical tasks, go for the MSI; otherwise, the Lenovo might be the better choice for performance-focused needs.

Eric Grevstad | March 2022
"At $1,011, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro is a real bargain among full-sized laptops, with a handsome 16-inch, 16:10 aspect ratio touch screen, a speedy CPU, a comfortable keyboard, ample memory, and a roomy solid-state drive. It's not a blazing gaming rig or mobile workstation, but it doesn't pretend to be. Its biggest negative is that it may be hard to find—during our review, it sold out and was marked "Temporarily Unavailable" on Lenovo's site."

"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."
