For superior performance in 3D rendering, machine learning, engineering tasks, and gaming, the MSI Vector GP76 offers a more powerful dedicated GPU, a faster processor, and more RAM, making it suitable for intensive tasks. However, it is less portable due to its larger size and heavier weight, also with a shorter battery life. The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo, on the other hand, is more portable, has longer battery life, and includes a touchscreen with a 2-in-1 design that makes it versatile for general use and business purposes, but it is less suited for demanding tasks given its integrated graphics and smaller screen. If portability and battery life are your priorities and your tasks are less resource-intensive, choose the E13 Flip Evo; if you need high performance for complex tasks and gaming and can handle less portability, go for the GP76.

The MSI Vector GP76 is very good for gaming and AI, while the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is only fair.
The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is less suited for gaming and 3D applications because it uses an integrated Intel Iris Xe GPU and has a standard 60Hz screen refresh rate, which are adequate but not optimal for high-performance graphics and smooth visuals.

The MSI Vector GP76 is very good for engineering and design, while the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is good.
The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is appreciated for its versatility as a 2-in-1 convertible, portability, and ample screen quality but has modest processing power and graphics with an integrated GPU, which makes it merely good for engineering and design tasks. In contrast, the MSI Vector GP76 boasts superior CPU and RAM, coupled with a high-end dedicated GPU and a larger screen for detailed work, thus making it very good for demanding engineering simulations and complex design work, albeit less portable and with a heavier build.

How the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo and the MSI Vector GP76 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 Vector GP76 12UGS is a gaming laptop on speed. The advantages are clear: The Vector GP76 is a real gamer with its 360 Hz display and super-fast response times. In addition, the Core i7-12700H has double the power of the CPU in its predecessor and another highlight is the Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti with a real power consumption of 150 watts. This places the device in the top range of our database. The Vector can also operate rather quietly, offers a full sound range, improved battery runtimes, a key-configurable RGB keyboard, a very stable chassis and good upgrade options. Moreover, the display produces a nice, rich and clear picture."
