For a balance of performance and versatility, the MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo is a strong choice with its powerful processor and high-resolution touchscreen that's great for detailed work. It's also more compact and slightly lighter, making it more portable than the Surface Laptop 6 15". However, if you prioritize a larger screen with a higher refresh rate for smoother visuals and potentially better gaming or creative work experiences, the Surface Laptop 6 15" with its larger display and 120Hz screen could be more suitable. The Surface Laptop also offers a more traditional laptop experience with its classic design and potentially longer battery life. Consider your need for portability and screen size when making your decision. Give Feedback

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."
