The MSI Prestige 14 offers a white backlit keyboard, a larger 14-inch screen, and is slightly lighter, making it more favorable if portability is a priority. On the other hand, the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo comes with a touchscreen, a slightly better battery life, and higher screen brightness, which can enhance your experience if you prefer more interactive use or work in brightly lit areas. Both have similar performance capabilities, but the Summit's processor is a bit more advanced. Select the Prestige 14 if you prioritize a larger screen and lower weight, or choose Summit E13 for a touchscreen with better battery life and brightness. Give Feedback

The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo has a better screen than the MSI Prestige 14 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The MSI Prestige 14 offers screens with high resolution and brightness, making text and images sharp and easy to view, which is ideal for everyday tasks, but its modest refresh rate isn't suited for the fast-paced action seen in gaming and 3D applications. On the other hand, its color accuracy caters well to professionals in engineering and design who need precise color representation. Similarly, the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo provides a vivid and bright display for day-to-day use and maintains color fidelity for creative work, yet falls short for gaming due to its lower refresh rate.

Collin Probst | September 2022
"The MSI Prestige 14” is excellent for productivity and business use cases, but it is not ideal for creators or visual content editors. The Prestige was able to power through days of email, spreadsheets, and text documents without breaking a sweat and was a joy to use. The additional ports were a breath of fresh air, as most laptops seem to be moving towards just Thunderbolt ports. The security options made signing in effortless, with two quick, more secure, and faster options than even the most complex alphanumeric passcode."

"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."
