Both the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are similarly priced with similar performance for general use, but there are key differences. If you prefer a laptop with higher brightness and better contrast for outdoor use or media editing, the Samsung with its OLED display is superior. However, the MSI has a slightly better build quality and heat management, plus more versatility in connection ports including Thunderbolt 4, which can be important for high-speed peripherals. The MSI also offers a slightly longer battery life and is geared more towards business use, whereas the Samsung is more portable due to its lighter weight. Both have backlit keyboards and sufficient power for most tasks, but if you're looking at heavier engineering applications or multitasking, the MSI's slightly better performance in those areas might be beneficial.

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen than the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo for general use, and engineering and design.
The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo offers satisfactory visuals for everyday activities and professional work in engineering and design due to its decent resolution and brightness, but it lacks the high refresh rate necessary for a smooth experience in gaming and 3D applications. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 boasts a higher quality display that enhances the viewing experience for both general use and color-critical tasks like engineering and design, thanks to superior brightness, resolution, and color range coverage. However, like the MSI, it falls short for gaming and 3D content by not offering the fast refresh rates that can keep up with rapid on-screen action.

The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are considered fair for gaming and 3D tasks due to their integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, which suffice for light gaming but not for high-end gaming or complex 3D work. Both feature screens with a 60 Hz refresh rate which is standard for most tasks but less than ideal for fast-paced gaming where higher refresh rates are preferable; the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360's screen quality is enhanced by its OLED panel, which offers deeper blacks and more vibrant colors compared to the MSI's IPS panel.

How the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 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."
"Samsung gets all the basics right with the Book2 360. Its convertible design works well in both laptop and tablet modes, yet still manages to be highly portable, with impressive battery life and eye-catching AMOLED display. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 measures just 12.9mm thick and weighs 1.16kg, making it one of the most affordable ultra-portables currently available. It’s sturdily built too, so it can cope with life on the road."
