The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is less expensive and lighter, making it more portable, with a smaller 13.4-inch screen. It has half the storage space compared to the MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo. In contrast, the MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo is pricier and slightly less portable due to increased weight but offers a larger 14-inch display with higher resolution for better visuals. Both have the same processor and RAM, so performance should be comparable, but the E14's longer battery life may make it a better choice for extended use without charging. Give Feedback

The MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo and MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo and E14 Flip Evo are fair for gaming and 3D due to their integrated Intel i7-1260P Iris Xe GPUs and standard 60Hz screen refresh rate which are adequate but not optimal for demanding gaming and 3D tasks that benefit greatly from dedicated graphics and higher refresh rates. While both laptops have quality IPS displays and capable CPUs, the most discerning gamers and 3D professionals often seek even more powerful GPUs and faster screens for the best experience.

How the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo and the MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo compare to other laptops
"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."
"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."
