The MSI Stealth GS66 is a more expensive option geared towards high performance, with a robust graphics card suitable for gaming and resource-intensive tasks. Its larger screen size, higher refresh rate, and special features like ray tracing suggest it is great for gaming and engineering work, but with a tradeoff in portability and shorter battery life. Alternatively, the MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo is more affordable and portable, offers a touch screen, better screen resolution, and longer battery life, making it better for general use and business tasks, but it may not handle gaming or engineering applications as well due to its integrated graphics.

Florian Glaser | February 2022
"The MSI Stealth GS66 is powerful enough for QHD. The Core i7-12700H and the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti found in the 12UGS model that we tested run all modern games smoothly in the native QHD resolution. The 15-inch display is very fast with its 240 Hz refresh rate, and it also offers a great color space (almost 100% DCI-P3) on top of that, which should please gamers as well as content creators, although we would have still wished for a higher brightness. Case, input devices, and connectivity (Thunderbolt 4) are at a good level. However, among other things, the GS66 loses points due to the high temperature development in 3D mode and its poor webcam."

"The MSI Summit E14 Flip convertible review: a legit alternative to HP, Dell or Lenovo. Instead of taking the 13-inch Summit E13 Flip and simply enlarging it for a 14-inch form factor, the Summit E14 Flip is the full chassis redesign we've been looking for. It loses some of the golden trims of its smaller sibling, but the gains in rigidity and build quality are arguably worth it especially from a professional standpoint where reliability takes priority. It doesn't quite feel as strong as the HP Spectre just yet, but it's certainly getting close."
