Design & Features
The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is a 2 in 1 PC with an eye-catching design. As a 2 in 1 PC, the basic performance of CPU, memory, storage, etc., is one rank higher, and it is a specification that allows you to work comfortably. In addition, you can use the LCD with a relatively wide color gamut and the included MSI Pen for light creative work.
The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is characterized by its high design and clean body color. The body color is pure white, a bright and light image. The sides are silver, and the closed state is also remarkable. It seems suitable for work notebook PCs for those who value ideas such as design work.
The machined aluminum body has a high texture and is compatible with MIL-STD-810G in the United States, giving you a sense of security in terms of robustness.
The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is the first convertible MSI business PC. It can be transformed according to the scene to be used.
The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is more than just an excellent laptop. It is equipped with the top 11th generation Core i7-1185G7 (cTDP-up 28W) of Tiger Lake-UP3. Furthermore, the memory is equipped with LPDDR4-4266, and the storage is equipped with a PCIe Gen4 compatible SSD, which is a specification with high basic performance.
The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is equipped with a 1920×1200 LCD with an aspect ratio of 16:10, which has become popular recently. It is a little wider in the vertical direction than a general FHD LCD, and it is easy to use a web browser or Office software that vertically scrolling uses.
In addition, the color gamut is wide with an sRGB coverage rate of 99.8% as measured by this site, and it can be used for a little creative work such as editing photos and videos used for web content.
In addition, although it is displayed as glare (glossy) liquid crystal in the manufacturer’s specifications when checking the actual machine, it feels like half glare, and the reflection is slightly suppressed.
Of the 4 USB ports, 3 are Type-C, and 2 are Thunderbolt 4 compatible. Since the memory card slot is microSD size and tray type, you need to take it out with a pin or the like. There aren’t many types, so if you need different terminals, it’s a good idea to use the Type-C / Thunderbolt dock.
At the top of the display is a 920,000-pixel Web camera and an IR camera for face recognition. The webcam can be disabled / enabled with a switch on the side.
The MSI Summit E13 Flip works pretty well when it comes to battery life. This 72Whr battery lasts at least 8-9 hours under normal use and can be expected to be a bit shorter than when performing heavier tasks. If MSI does not include a 4K display, this computer will have a longer battery life than some rivals.
The speaker is placed on the bottom. The sound quality is relatively high for a notebook PC, but the sound is not thick, and the bass range sounds a little muffled.
The XPS 13 2-in-1 (9310) is a 2 in 1 PC with a premium feel among the many 2 in 1 PCs. The machined aluminum and carbon fiber bodies are a beautiful design full of luxury.
In addition, the processor has become the Intel 11th Generation Core, which improves the comfort of video editing. With FHD videos, if you don’t do anything elaborate, you will edit comfortably.
A 13.4-inch notebook with a luxurious “machined aluminum” housing. A stylish frameless design with a narrow frame on all four sides. A screen with an aspect ratio of 16:10 and a longer vertical reach than a typical notebook. Very high resolution 3840 x 2400 pixels can be selected. Low-reflection processing and tempered glass Corning Gorilla Glass 6 are used for the wide viewing angle panel. The platinum silver model uses carbon fiber for the palm rest. Equipped with a backlit keyboard.
The sRGB coverage is 100%, and the color gamut is wide. Also, the Adobe RGB coverage rate is over 80%, which is relatively wide. Many colors can be displayed accurately. You can also enjoy watching images and videos.
Equipped with 11th generation Core processor enhanced by improved 10nm process manufacturing (10nm SuperFin) ( Core i7-1165G7 installed in the review). It integrates the powerful ” Intel Iris Xe Graphics ” as a built-in GPU. The XPS 13 (9310) is a thin and lightweight notebook PC that meets Intel’s requirements and is certified by the Evo Platform.
As a measure against heat, it has a built-in dual fan and uses a thermal insulation film (Thermal Insulation) that was jointly developed with GORE. Equipped with a USB Type-C terminal that supports Thunderbolt 4, Power Delivery, Display Port 2.0, and USB4 Gen3-20Gbps. However, the biggest concern is that the equipment terminals are extremely limited.
It would help if you also considered using a commercially available USB Type-C hub. It does not have an optical drive. Equipped with a “cover open sensor” that automatically activates the PC when the display is opened.
Conclusion!
MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo- It is a convertible PC with a high texture, a well-designed body, and the coolness of the refreshing color of pure white.
After all, the body design with outstanding luxury is attractive. It’s not exceptionally light or small for a mobile laptop because the display is 13.4 inches larger than the typical 13.3 inches. Instead, despite the large screen, the weight/size that is standard for a mobile notebook PC is a beautiful design.
The appearance and the specifications are high so that you can do your work comfortably. Equipped with Core i7-1185G7, it has slightly higher processing and graphics performance than general notebook PCs.
The LCD has an aspect ratio of 16:10 and an sRGB coverage rate of 99.8% (measured on this site), which has a relatively wide color gamut and is easy to work with. The included MSI Pen is also easy to use, and you can use them to perform light creative work comfortably. You can use it comfortably at work, on the road, or home.
Even a cheap model has a high price of 1500 USD, which is a bottleneck. It is unavoidable that good things are expensive, but it is not a price that you can easily afford. If the price isn’t a buying barrier, it’s worth the purchase.
The XPS 13 2-in-1 (9310) is a 2 in 1 PC that shines with good design. The 11th generation Core processor is installed, and the graphics performance has improved, making it easier to edit videos.
It is also possible to draw since it is also compatible with pens. Also, it is convenient to use a pen when selecting an object in Lightroom or Photoshop. If you use such software, you should set the memory to 16GB. With a 1920×1200, it also features more vertical information than a regular FHD or 4K display.
However, it is a little worrisome that the mass is heavy for a 13-inch mobile PC, and no model supports LTE. If you don’t mind these two points, I think it will be a highly satisfying model.
