The MSI GP66 Leopard tends to be more expensive but offers superior performance for intensive tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, and gaming, with a high-end dedicated GPU. It has a larger screen and higher refresh rate, but is heavier and has shorter battery life, making it less portable than the Summit E13 Flip Evo. The Summit, on the other hand, is more affordable, highly portable with its lighter weight and longer battery life, and it also has a higher resolution touch screen with a better aspect ratio. It's better suited for business use and general-purpose tasks, but it might not handle gaming or heavy engineering workloads as well. Give Feedback

The MSI GP66 Leopard is good for gaming and AI, while the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is only fair.
The MSI GP66 Leopard is better suited for gaming and 3D due to its powerful Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU and high screen refresh rate of 144 Hz, which are very important for smooth and detailed gaming visuals. In contrast, the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo, while portable and versatile with its 2-in-1 design, has a less capable Intel Iris Xe integrated GPU and a lower screen refresh rate of 60 Hz, leading to fair gaming and 3D performance.

Christian Hintze | December 2021
"The MSI GP66 Leopard is a good budget high-performance gamer. The MSI also does a lot right outside of the pure performance despite it's low price. For example, the adaptive cooling system really surprised us positively, even in Extreme Performance Mode. And the display is not a budget panel either, but at least outshines the competition in terms of brightness. Of course, you also have to accept a few compromises in this price category. These include the Leopard's poor battery runtimes and the less than optimal build quality, which is also noticeable in the more complicated maintenance."

"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."
