5 Comments on MSI Debuts New Summit Series 2-in-1 Laptops Designed by Golden Ratio
MSI Summit E16 Flip
- CPU: Intel Core i7-1185G7
- GPU: Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 (96EU)
- Display: 16.0", QHD+ (2560 x 1600), IPS
- Storage: 2000GB SSD
- RAM: 32GB LPDDR4x
I love the 16:10 screen.For the useful lifespan of this laptop and beyond, you're going to have two little black bars at the top and bottom of your screen a lot of the time, and being IPS that's where any light-leakage, corner-glow, and uniformity issues are most visible.
16:9 is not the best aspect ratio for productivity but when I'm working on a laptop what I usuallly want is a wider screen, not a taller screen - because I'm not a single-tasking luddite, I have two applications side by side and a 2:1 panel would probably be ideal. 16:9 isn't 2:1 but it at least works pretty damn well.
Personally I think 16:10 laptops are a more logical choice for small laptops as the taller screen means a deeper laptop, which can use the extra space for longer palm rest and bigger trackpad. Only valid if the manufacturer doesn't needlessly squander that extra real estate, of course.
Also 2K is a bit too much at 16 inches. I'm fine with 1920x1200 or even 1680x1050 as long as it's still 16:10.
