Our Verdict
MSI Summit E16 Flip (2023)
LG gram Pro 16 (2024)
The LG gram Pro 16 (2024) is better than the MSI Summit E16 Flip (2023) for most uses. The LG feels more sturdily built and is more portable, as it’s thinner and lighter. It has a wider port selection for peripherals and external displays, much longer battery life, as well as better thermal and noise handling. However, you can get more processing power from the MSI, especially when it comes to the GPU because it’s available with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 and 4060, whereas the LG is only available with an older RTX 3050.
