If you prioritize portability and longer battery life for general business use or academic tasks, the MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo with its smaller screen, lighter weight, and touch-screen capability would be a better fit. However, if you require higher performance for activities like 3D rendering, machine learning, or if you're an engineering professional, the MSI Vector GP76 with a more powerful processor and dedicated graphics card would be more suited, despite being heavier and having a shorter battery life. Keep in mind that the Vector GP76 also offers a better gaming experience if that's important to you. Give Feedback

How the MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo and the MSI Vector GP76 compare to other laptops
"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 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."
