Our Verdict

MSI Summit E16 Flip (2023)

Lenovo Yoga 7i 16 (2023)

The MSI Summit E16 Flip Evo (2023) and the Lenovo Yoga 7i 16 (2023) are both 16-inch 2-in-1 convertibles available with Intel 13th Gen CPUs. The main difference is that the MSI is configurable with discrete NVIDIA 40-series GPUs, while the Lenovo is only available with integrated graphics. The Lenovo feels slightly sturdier build-wise, and its battery lasts much longer. However, the MSI has a better 165Hz display with 100% DCI P3 coverage.
