Are there any alternatives?

As of when this review is being written, the Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 7 is the best 14-inch convertible 2-in-1 that you can buy. It provides excellent performance, an exquisite aesthetic, a solid build, and a superior display. It’s also a bit less expensive than the Summit E14 Flip.

　　The recently announced HP Spectre x360 13.5 is another convertible 2-in-1 that promises to compete strongly against the MSI. We haven’t reviewed it yet, but it looks to offer a solid combination of performance and efficiency, an elegant design, and the same quality as the rest of the Spectre line.

　　Apple’s MacBook Pro 14 is my recommendation if you don’t need a 2-in-1. You get the typical excellent MacBook build quality, Apple’s superfast M1 Pro or M1 Max CPU, and superior battery life. Unless you’re committed to Windows 11, the MacBook Pro 14 is a solid, if expensive, alternative.

　　

How long will it last?

The Summit E14 Flip has a solid enough build that it should last for years of typical use. It’s also stocked with the latest components, lacking only Thunderbolt 4 support for the utmost in longevity. The standard one-year warranty is disappointing, as usual.

　　

Should you buy it?

No. There are simply too many other 14-inch laptops that offer more consistent performance and better battery life.
