The MSI Summit E16 Flip is a unique 2-in-1 laptop designed for creatives that stands out from the crowd thanks to MSI basing its design around the Golden Ratio. The device’s 360 degree hinge allows it to be used as a tablet or propped upright and the included MSI Pen which attaches magnetically to its side makes it easy to draw or take notes. Overall the MSI Summit E16 Flip is an excellent all-rounder for those looking for a business laptop that stands out from the crowd.

MSI’s 16” convertible Windows laptop has some enticing features like its QHD+ 120Hz wide gamut display supporting pen and touch, NVIDIA RTX 3050 / 3050 Ti graphics and a CNC aluminum chassis. The laptop has 360 degree hinges so it can transform into a large tablet, and it has goodies from the Intel 11th gen platform like a very fast PCIe4 SSD, Thunderbolt 4 and 2 USB-A Gen 2 ports. The laptop is available with 16GB or 32GB RAM, a 1 or 2TB SSD, fingerprint scanner and Killer Wi-Fi 6E.

The MSI Summit E16 Flip is a great-looking and well-built convertible 2-in-1 with an outstanding 16-inch 16:10 display. It’s large and uncomfortable as a tablet, but that’s to be expected with such an expansive display. It performs admirably as a workhorse productivity machine, and it can handle entry-level creative tasks as well. The keyboard is very good, but the touchpad is way too small given the available real estate. MSI has made one of the better large-format convertible 2-in-1s you can buy. If you’re in the market for a flexible machine that can handle serious work, then the Summit E16 Flip should be on your list.

I liked the MSI Summit E13 Flip quite a bit, particularly the modern aesthetic, excellent battery life, and solid performance. It proved that MSI can make an excellent productivity-oriented convertible 2-in-1 to go with their popular gaming laptops, even if the price was a bit high. MSI has a larger version of the machine, the Summit E16 Flip, that not only expands the 16:10 display from 13.4 inches to 16 inches but adds in a discrete GPU by way of Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3050. It has a similar look and feel, but is aimed more at creators who can use the extra power a GPU can provide to applications that can use it, like Adobe’s creative suite. I reviewed the top-end Summit E16 Flip with a Core i7-1195G7 CPU and the RTX 3050 that has a retail price of $2,299. The three available models vary only in their RAM and storage, with the review unit being the top model with 32GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD. Like with the 13-inch model, the Summit E16 Flip is a bit expensive — but I found enough to like about the machine to justify the investment.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

74%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
