Our Verdict

ASUS Zenbook 14 Flip OLED (2023)

MSI Summit E16 Flip (2023)

The MSI Summit E16 Flip Evo (2023) and the ASUS Zenbook 14 Flip OLED (2023) are very different laptops. While both are 2-in-1 convertibles available with Intel 13th Gen P-series CPUs, the MSI is available with discrete graphics, making it a better option for those needing to do some intensive tasks like video editing and graphic design. The ASUS' smaller chassis and weaker cooling system cause more thermal throttling, so it's best suited for lighter productivity tasks like text processing, web browsing, and video playback.
