The MSI Prestige 15 and MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The MSI Prestige 15 has a dedicated Nvidia GTX 1650 Max-Q graphics card, making it more suitable for gaming and 3D tasks than the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo, which relies on an integrated Intel Iris Xe GPU; however, both are limited by standard screen refresh rates of 60 Hz, which could hamper performance in fast-paced games. While the Summit E13 Flip Evo offers a touchscreen and a higher screen pixel density for potentially crisper visuals, its less powerful GPU may not handle intensive gaming and 3D applications as effectively as the Prestige 15.

Mario Petzold | December 2022
"The MSI Prestige 15 offers a dazzling 4K image quality, and solid performance. The MSI Prestige 15 appears to consistently implement the guiding principle of throttling the solid and efficient hardware to such an extent that content creation succeeds perfectly. Performance-hungry tasks, on the other hand, are slowed down a little by the reduced power consumption. Conversely, this means that the case remains relatively cool and the dual fan subdued. The battery life also benefits somewhat. So the losses aren't really dramatic because full performance is still available for short bursts."

"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."
