The Lenovo Yoga 6 will cost you less and comes with respectable performance, adequate for general tasks and some light engineering or creative work, thanks to its AMD Ryzen processor and integrated graphics. It is also highly portable with its smaller screen size and lower weight, plus it offers a longer battery life, making it great for on-the-go use. However, if you're looking for a laptop to handle more demanding applications like 3D rendering, machine learning, or gaming, the MSI Summit E16 Flip is equipped with a more powerful Intel processor and a dedicated Nvidia RTX graphics card. It also boasts a larger, higher-resolution display, which is better for multitasking and creative work, though it does come at a higher price, weighs more, and has a shorter battery life, reducing its portability.

The MSI Summit E16 Flip and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both only fair for gaming and AI, though the MSI Summit E16 Flip is somewhat better.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 is less suited for gaming and 3D applications due to its integrated Vega 8 graphics and a standard 60Hz screen refresh rate, while the MSI Summit E16 Flip offers superior gaming and 3D performance with its more capable Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti graphics and a higher 165Hz screen refresh rate.

The MSI Summit E16 Flip and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both good for engineering and design, though the MSI Summit E16 Flip is somewhat better.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 with an AMD Ryzen CPU and integrated Vega graphics is suitable for engineering and design due to a solid balance of CPU power, sufficient RAM, and good screen quality, but may lack the graphical prowess of a dedicated GPU for highly demanding tasks. On the other hand, the MSI Summit E16 Flip offers a strong Intel i7 CPU with an Nvidia RTX dedicated GPU, more RAM, and a higher resolution screen, making it more capable for intensive engineering software and design work, though this comes with decreased portability due to a larger screen and heavier weight.

The MSI Summit E16 Flip has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, and software development.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a screen that provides adequate sharpness and brightness for everyday tasks, but may not offer the color accuracy needed for precise engineering and design work, and its limited refresh rate detracts from the smooth visuals desired in gaming and 3D applications. The MSI Summit E16 Flip excels with a high-resolution, bright display that renders vivid colors for professional design applications, though for gaming and 3D, its lower refresh rate may not keep pace with action-heavy content. For general users, both provide clarity and illumination for daily use, but the MSI's superior color gamut makes it a stronger choice for creative professionals, while neither is optimal for gaming enthusiasts seeking fluid motion graphics.

"The AMD R7-7730U in the Lenovo Yoga 6 13 provides a suitable answer to the limited cooling capabilities of a convertible - especially in tablet mode. It draws high computing power from a comparatively limited power supply so that less heat has to be dissipated at the same time."

"The MSI Summit E16 Flip is a 2-in-1 laptop with pen, 16:10 display, and RTX 3050 Ti. The Summit E16 Flip is a 2-in-1 laptop from the business segment that primarily targets creative users. MSI combines a 16-inch touchscreen in the 16:10 format with a powerful midrange GPU. While the 2-in-1 laptop from MSI isn't meant for everybody, it should definitely attract some followers. The touchscreen display (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) covers the DCI-P3 color space. This is accompanied by stable viewing angles, a good color reproduction, short response times, and a good contrast level."
