The MSI Summit E16 Flip, priced in the upper midrange, is less expensive and offers a balance suitable for business use with a touchscreen, reasonable battery life, and moderate performance capable of handling general tasks and light 3D work. It's more portable than the Titan model, which can be an advantage for users on the go. The heavier and more expensive MSI Titan GT77, on the other hand, is designed for the high-end segment, offering superior performance in 3D, machine learning, and engineering tasks, along with a more powerful GPU suitable for intensive gaming. This model sacrifices some portability due to increased weight and size but features a larger display and higher resolution. Give Feedback

The MSI Titan GT77 has a better screen than the MSI Summit E16 Flip for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The MSI Summit E16 Flip likely has a sharp display and vibrant colors suitable for everyday tasks and professional design work, but its lower refresh rate might not be ideal for the fast-paced visuals in gaming and 3D applications. On the other hand, the MSI Titan GT77 likely excels in providing crisp visuals and wide color coverage for both general and engineering use, but like the E16, it may fall short for gaming and 3D due to a refresh rate that isn't as high as specialized gaming laptops. Customers prioritizing work in engineering and design will find the Titan GT77's display superior, while those focused primarily on 3D and gaming should consider a laptop with a higher refresh rate screen.

"The MSI Summit E16 Flip is a 2-in-1 laptop with pen, 16:10 display, and RTX 3050 Ti. The Summit E16 Flip is a 2-in-1 laptop from the business segment that primarily targets creative users. MSI combines a 16-inch touchscreen in the 16:10 format with a powerful midrange GPU. While the 2-in-1 laptop from MSI isn't meant for everybody, it should definitely attract some followers. The touchscreen display (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) covers the DCI-P3 color space. This is accompanied by stable viewing angles, a good color reproduction, short response times, and a good contrast level."

"The MSI Titan GT77 HX 13V is the utimate gaming laptop with RTX 4090 & Core i9-13950HX. The new MSI Titan GT77 will most likely only reach a very small group of users due to the high price, but it is still an impressive showcase of what is possible. The high-end gamer combines the best components you can currently get in almost every regard and it is a very good overall package, which does not have to hide behind full-fledged desktop systems."
