The MSI Raider GE77Hx is a more expensive option with high performance for intensive tasks such as gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning because of its powerful processor and graphics card. However, it has lower portability due to its larger size and heavier weight. In contrast, the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is more affordable and offers greater portability with a lighter design and longer battery life, making it ideal for business and general use. It also features a touchscreen and can perform moderately demanding tasks, but it is not as well-suited for very intensive applications. Give Feedback

Sascha Mölck | July 2022
"The MSI Raider GE77 offers a lot of power for a lot of money. The main components consist of a Core i9-12900HX CPU, a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU (175 watts TGP, 16 GB VRAM), and 64 GB of RAM, which makes for a high overall performance level. The GeForce GPU in particular scores some of the highest scores we have seen from this chip. Both the CPU and the GPU are able to run at continuously high clock speeds. The relatively high heat and noise emissions match our expectations for this device class. With approximately 5.5 to 6.5 hours, the battery life is good for a powerful 4K laptop."

"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."
