Most people know MSI as the company that brings gaming power to a slew of devices. From gaming laptops to peripherals, the company seeks to bring the best and the most powerful hardware you can imagine. Naturally, they will do the exact same thing when they start to branch out to other customers. And because most of us are still working from home, the company has quite the offer for you.

Recently, they announced the arrival of their more business-centered Summit Series lineup of devices. These devices, dubbed as the company’s “Best of CES 2021,” comes with powerful internal hardware specially designed for the budding young professionals. Speaking of the design, MSI boasts that this entire lineup based its designed on the law of the “Golden Ratio” in mathematics — particularly towards the display.

The Summit Flip laptops

In particular, the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo comes with a FHD display with a 16:10 aspect ratio to cover a larger workspace. Along with the “Golden Ratio”-esque display, it comes with the latest Intel Core i7 processors powered by the Evo platform. In essence, this laptop brings great power suited for all kinds of office tasks while in a slim chassis. Apart from these, MSI also mentioned that this device can last up to 20 hours for optimal mobility.

Along with the Summit E13 Flip Evo, MSI also unveiled the MSI Summit E16 Flip, which comes with the same internals. On top of these, the device comes with the latest NVIDIA graphics suited for heavy-duty tasks and data analysis. Also, it comes with the company’s exclusive “Dynamic Cooler Boost” thermal design that will ideally lower the fan noise when under full load. For a laptop that also comes in a slim chassis, that’s something neat to see.

Some extra peripherals for the Summit

With these new devices comes the launch of two peripherals that will enhance your productivity. First up is the MSI Pen, an optional stylus and presentation remote suited for maximum productivity. It comes with a 4096-level pressure sensitivity for writing notes down, and also allows for presentation functions with the pen button. Another great new peripheral is the MSI USB-C Docking Station, allowing for more displays and USB ports. It’s the kind of peripheral that is well-suited for the multitaskers out there.

There’s been much ado about the NVIDIA RTX Spark. By now, you’ve probably heard a lot about the upcoming reinvention of PCs. But, as a regular consumer, it’s hard to visualize just how this revolution looks like. Thankfully, in NVIDIA’s demo suites, a few manufacturers got to showcase their take on an RTX Spark notebook. And all of them are coming out in the fall.

Unfortunately, none of these brands could share comprehensive details about their laptops beyond a promise for raw power. All of these models aren’t the final version yet.

However, just from what we can tell, these notebooks do feel different from the standard fare of laptops today. For one, they are deceptively heavier. Though all of the OEMs promise a much thinner profile, they’re either packing a lot of tech inside or are using denser materials for their chassis. But again, these are engineering units, so who knows how heavy these things will actually be?

Secondly, based on NVIDIA’s demos, they can do a lot of heavy lifting. NVIDIA says that these superchips are meant for developers and creators, but gamers will also find joy in their performance. DLSS 4.5, in particular, feels like a true revolution in terms of graphics.

Thankfully, fall isn’t too far away. If you can wait, the next evolution of PCs is just around the corner.
