The MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo is a more versatile laptop with a 2-in-1 convertible feature allowing it to double as a tablet, which can be beneficial if you need flexibility in usage and better display resolution. However, it is more expensive and has a slightly smaller screen compared to the MSI Thin GF63. If gaming performance or budget is a priority, then the MSI Thin GF63 might be more suitable for you as it includes a dedicated graphics card and is more affordable. Be aware that the Thin GF63 is slightly heavier and thicker, which could impact portability. The choice depends largely on whether convertible functionality and screen quality or gaming performance and budget are more important for your needs. Give Feedback

The MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo has a better screen than the MSI Thin GF63 for general use, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo has a high-resolution display, extended color gamut, and enhanced brightness that provides clarity and vivid colors for both everyday tasks and design work requiring accurate color representation, making its screen well-suited for general use and engineering. However, its standard refresh rate limits its performance for gaming and 3D applications where smooth motion is critical. On the other hand, the MSI Thin GF63's average screen attributes across resolution, color range, and brightness make it suitable for basic tasks and some engineering work, but its lack of high refresh rate and superior color accuracy also makes it less ideal for immersive gaming and 3D content creation.

Allen Ngo | July 2022
"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."

"The MSI GF63 Thin 11SC can be an admirable value for gamers and power users on a minimal budget. For just $599 as reviewed in its base model, its Intel Core i5 H-class processor and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 graphics perform much better than low-wattage CPUs and integrated graphics. That said, this is a light-class gaming laptop. Low scores in our demanding gaming benchmarks indicate using lower visual-quality settings will be required for playable performance."
