The MSI Stealth GS77 is a premium laptop that excels in intensive gaming and engineering tasks due to its powerful processor, high-quality graphics card, and large high-refresh-rate screen. However, these features also make it relatively heavy and not as easy to carry around. On the other hand, the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is more portable and suitable for general use with its lower price, flexible touchscreen, and enough power for everyday tasks, but it's not designed for heavy gaming or demanding engineering software. Your choice should reflect whether performance and screen size are a priority over portability and price. Give Feedback

The MSI Stealth GS77 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 Stealth GS77 boasts a high-resolution screen with great brightness and panel technology, which enhances visibility and clarity for general tasks and detail-oriented work like engineering and design, along with wide color gamuts ensuring accuracy in color-critical applications. However, its lower refresh rate detracts from the gaming and 3D experience, where smooth motion is key. The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo, while having a bright and high-resolution display with good panel quality suited for everyday tasks and professional design work, similarly falls short for gaming and 3D due to its subpar refresh rate.

"The MSI Stealth GS77 is better than the GS76... mostly. The GS77 is a few steps forward and a few steps back from the GS76. Improvements are numerous including the stronger and more rigid skeleton, higher resolution webcam, larger clickpad, easier serviceability, relatively similar battery runtimes, newer display options, and higher performance at about the same TDP and TGP levels as before. CPU performance is better than expected even when compared to other laptops with Core i7 or Core i9 processors. The newer model feels more substantial than the outgoing one for higher quality impressions as well."

"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."
