The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo looks a lot like HP’s Spectre x360. It has an angular hinge and a sharp, industrial type for its brand name on the lid. This isn’t a bad thing, because you can only be so creative with a laptop. The HP Spectre is a beautiful device, but if you want something with a really unique look, you won’t find it here.
Also, the Summit E13 Flip Evo comes in two different colors. The black is soft and not quite matte, and there are copper highlights. It looks great, but if you don’t like fingerprints, you’ll notice them right away. If it does, you could choose the all-white version, which may work better and makes it stand out from many other devices on the market right now, but you’ll lose the copper details in exchange for a more subtle brushed aluminum look.

Where to get MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo?
The pen stylus that comes with the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo looks more like the ones used with Microsoft Surface devices than an Apple Pencil or a stylus used with graphics drawing tablets, which is chunkier and has a round tip. The pen is fun to use and very smooth and responsive, so it’s great for any job you’d do with a regular pen. You can highlight documents, make notes, and even draw in Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. Palm rejection is also very good, so you shouldn’t have any trouble with the device picking up stray touch while using the stylus.
The display is sRGB instead of full Adobe RGB and doesn’t have accurate colors, which is a shame for a device in this price range, especially one that would be great for content makers who want a portable machine. This doesn’t mean that the screen is bad, though. It worked well enough for most jobs, but it feels like you’re not getting much for your money.
