The MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo is more expensive and better suited for intensive engineering tasks due to its higher storage capacity and sharper screen resolution, but it's heavier and has a shorter battery life than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360. The Samsung, on the other hand, is more affordable and offers better portability and longer battery life, making it a suitable choice for general use and on-the-go activities, although it has less storage and a lower resolution screen. If you prioritize higher performance and can manage a heavier device with a slightly reduced battery life, the MSI may be a better fit for you; however, if portability and price are of more importance, the Samsung could be the more appropriate option.

The MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 are considered fair for gaming and 3D because they both feature integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, which can handle light gaming and 3D tasks but aren't as powerful as dedicated GPUs found in high-end gaming laptops. Both models also have a standard screen refresh rate, meaning they won't offer the smoother visuals that gaming laptops with higher refresh rates provide.

How the MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 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."
"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."
