MSI is attempting to overcome the enterprise market with its Summit line. Whether or not that may also work with the Summit E13 Flip Evo as a signboard? The value tag of 1,849 euros already units excessive expectations for the premium laptop computer.
Everyone knows MSI from their gaming laptops, screens and desktops. With the Stealth collection, the model already made an try to overcome the workplace panorama with business-looking laptops that dared to show into highly effective gaming machines after work.
You shouldn’t count on such efficiency from the Summit laptops and we relatively see efficiency that matches ‘customary’ laptops for work. That’s precisely the place the laptop computer belongs: within the office, and particularly with those that go to clients and wish to be seen with a pleasant machine.

Prestigeproject
The design of the Summit E13 Flip Evo matches completely among the many enterprise showpieces of manufacturers comparable to HP. That model typically desires to make use of gold and brown accents on its Specter collection. It will not be very unique, nevertheless it appears to be like distinctive in our opinion and the design instantly catches the attention if you first take it out of your backpack. We do marvel, nevertheless, whether or not the design is just not too time-bound. HP began this round 2016 and a laptop computer that’s nonetheless coming onto the market with this design can look a bit old school.
Anyway, design is and stays a private matter. Much less private is the construct high quality. That’s advantageous in our opinion. Each the keyboard and the display present virtually no torsion if you attempt to bend them (additionally when urgent the keyboard body). What might need been barely higher is the end of the sides on the backside. They felt a bit sharper than desired on our E13, particularly when you typically stroll round with the laptop computer.
‘Golden Show Ratio’
MSI prides itself on the time period “Golden Show Ratio” on its product web page. In concrete phrases, which means that you’ve gotten a barely increased display, whereas the width of the display stays the identical. After getting used the laptop computer, you’ll not even discover that it provides worth, however that’s certainly the case.
After all, we frequently wish to learn textual content and on such the next 16:10 display you merely see extra textual content at a look. That house additionally comes into its personal for picture and video modifying, though the query is whether or not the 13-inch display isn’t just too small for that. So far as the LCD panel is worried, we’re glad: the colours on the display look correct and are definitely not oversaturated.
Additionally, you will definitely not lack brightness for normal use – the display remained simple to learn within the workplace, on the bus and in a café (with daylight from behind). In sharp summer time daylight, the brightness might be simply inadequate. Preserve that in thoughts when you spend loads of time outdoors along with your laptop computer.
Value-performance ratio
Earlier than you click on order, there are different features that deserve your consideration, such because the efficiency of the Summit E13 Evo. MSI provides the laptop computer of greater than 1,800 euros with an Intel Core i7-1280P. That processor has 14 processor cores, six of that are effectivity and eight performance-oriented cores. Photograph modifying (in Photoshop), searching, making PowerPoints and different on a regular basis Home windows duties run extremely easily, nevertheless it’s at instances if you demand extra (comparable to video modifying) that you simply begin to discover that the laptop computer has been outfitted too flippantly for this.
HP’s Specter laptops typically present the identical draw back of premium design: disappointing efficiency. MSI additionally doesn’t ship the Summit E13 Flip Evo in Belgium with a devoted GPU, so we can’t suggest the laptop computer for many who merely wish to do greater than the fundamental duties that laptops of 1,000 euros may also carry out.
What is exclusive about this laptop computer is its extraordinarily lengthy battery life: the battery simply lasted 10 hours. Typically we even squeezed out an additional two hours. Thoughts you, the battery life you obtain actually relies on the duties you carry out with it. With picture modifying, the battery life drops sooner (most 5 hours) than with searching (most 12 hours).
Priced out of the market
We’re conscious that enterprise laptops do not come low-cost. A very good copy rapidly prices greater than 1,500 euros and the competing Specter line is just not precisely low-cost both. On the identical time, MSI doesn’t instantly persuade us with a display that’s extraordinarily shiny or efficiency that makes the laptop computer appropriate for duties apart from picture modifying and the on a regular basis.
In case you are on the lookout for a laptop computer to satisfy these wants, you should purchase loads of cheaper gadgets. In the event you suppose design is essential, efficiency performs a much less vital function and also you need (comparatively) loads of SSD reminiscence, then the Summit E13 Flip Evo might be proper up your alley. Then do not forget to take a look at the Specter X360; which is commonly equally priced and in addition has a singular design.
