High-performance notebook PCs are attracting attention as the amount of time spent using PCs has increased due to the increased demand for teleworking and staying at home. Of course, there is a need to improve work efficiency, but there is also an increasing need to play the latest games and challenge photo and video editing. Nowadays, it is not uncommon for office workers to do live game distribution and Vlogger activities as side jobs.
MSI's "Summit E16 Flip" is perfect for those who want such a high-performance notebook PC. In addition to the latest CPU "Core i7-1195G7" and GPU "GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU", it is equipped with high-speed storage and a high-resolution display. In addition, it can be transformed into a tablet style, and it is a versatile type that comes with an active stylus "MSI Pen" and supports 4,096 levels of pen pressure sensitivity. It can be used for work, games, video editing, and illustration production.
There are many notebook PCs in the 13-inch class equipped with the same CPU that can be used with a pen and transformed into a tablet style, but the Summit E16 Flip uses a large 16-inch screen and an independent GPU. Although it has basic specifications, it is very different in that it can be used with a pen or tablet style.
Actually, there are many people who semi-permanently use a large 15-inch laptop at home or in the office. When updating these notebooks, or when replacing old desktop PCs with the latest laptops, not only can you greatly increase the performance of the CPU and GPU, but also add new elements such as pen and tablet transformations. If so, there should be a lot more that users can do.
Here, I would like to deliver a report on the Summit E16 Flip. In addition to checking each part by the author and performing a benchmark performance test, we also had a professional video director use it to test its practicality in video editing.
