The MSI Raider GE66 offers high performance with a powerful dedicated graphics card and higher RAM, which makes it suitable for gaming, 3D rendering, and intensive engineering tasks. However, it is heavier and has less battery life, so it's less portable. On the other hand, the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is lighter and has longer battery life, making it more portable and suitable for business use. It also has a touch screen with a versatile flip design. The performance of the Summit E13 Flip Evo is adequate for general use but not ideal for graphics-intensive tasks. Therefore, the choice depends on whether the need for portability and battery life outweighs the need for high performance in demanding applications. Give Feedback

The MSI Raider GE66 is very good for gaming and AI, while the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is only fair.
The MSI Raider GE66 is very good for gaming and 3D tasks because it comes equipped with a powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics card and a high screen refresh rate of up to 240 Hz, allowing for smooth visuals and detailed graphics. Conversely, the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is less suited for these tasks as it has a moderately performing Intel Iris Xe graphics and a standard refresh rate of 60 Hz, making it less ideal for fast-paced gaming and complex 3D applications.

The MSI Raider GE66 has a better screen than the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The MSI Raider GE66's screen stands out for general use and engineering due to its high resolution and brightness, offering clear and vibrant visuals, and it includes wide color gamuts, ensuring accurate color representation for detailed design work. However, for gaming and 3D applications, its lower refresh rate can make fast-paced visuals less smooth, which is less optimal for an immersive experience. In contrast, the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo, while also presenting a good resolution and brightness for everyday tasks and sufficient color accuracy for engineering and design, falls short in refresh rate, which similarly affects its performance in gaming and 3D scenarios.

"The MSI Raider GE66 12UHS notebook passes with flying colors. The GE66 is a high-end notebook with strong performance. The keyboard and trackpad are still very good and score well with precise inputs as well as high build quality. Thanks to a new liquid metal cooling solution, the Intel Core i9 12900HK brings a performance increase of around 50 percent over the predecessor's Intel Core i9 10980HK. The installed graphics card in our device delivers up to 30 percent higher frame rates than the RTX 2070 Super in the MSI GE66 10SFS."

"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."
