Reviewer score 67%The E13 Flip Evo follows an increasingly common trend among laptops in sporting a 16:10, rather than 16:9, aspect ratio. The display's resolution is 1920 x 1200, so pixel addicts can rejoice over the 11.11 percent extra pixels awarded compared to 1920 x 1080. There's a surprising amount of detail and, particularly, bass for such a small thing.

Reviewer score 83%The Summit E13 Flip Evo is a serviceable addition to the stable of 13-inch convertible 2-in-1s. It's fast, has great battery life, and looks good. The lid is a touch expensive in its high-end configuration, but I found it to be a pleasant laptop for real-life use.

Reviewer score 74%The Summit E13 Flip is a great example of what the manufacturer is capable of especially in terms of aesthetics and performance. The Summit manages to outperform others in its size class and category while still looking sleek and portable in the process. The relatively large 70 Wh battery offers almost 11.5 hours of real-world WLAN use.

Reviewer score 78% MSI is positioning the Summit E13 Flip Evo as a contender for well-heeled consumers who need a sleek, powerful convertible. Overall performance is extremely consistent between the E13 and its competitors. For the relatively high asking price, you get a thoughtfully designed ultraportable with plenty of computing power.

Reviewer score 67%The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is a great laptop, but its price makes it a bad buy in fact. It scored better across our benchmarks than the latest HP Spectre x360 and goes toe to toe with the 2020 Dell XPS 13, proving itself as an impressive first model in this series from MSI. The built-in microphone also has some noise-canceling features built into it which workers fairly well.
