Pros and Cons

MSI Summit E15

Strengths

MSI has nailed it with the build quality of the E15, featuring an aluminium chassis with a carbon finish that contributes to a lightweight build.
The laptop comes with a 15.6 inches 4K screen, which is something to be amazed by, and the performance department of this machine is not all that bad either.
The tiger lake CPU paired with GTX 1650ti GPU results in great power and the battery life is relatively better on the full HD variants of this laptop.
The fans do a surprisingly good job at handling the thermals and I am quite satisfied with its performance, even when running intensive tasks like video editing or gaming.

Weaknesses

No specific cons listed for this device

MSI Claw

Strengths

The speakers on the MSI Claw are great, with clear sound quality that's perfect for gaming.
The hall effect joysticks provide a comfortable and precise gaming experience.
The RGB lighting is a nice touch, adding a bit of flair to an already impressive build quality.
Build quality is top-notch, with a solid feel to the device that's sure to impress.
Despite some performance issues, the MSI Claw has potential and could be a great option in the future.

Weaknesses

The price tag of $749 USD for the 512 GB model is steep, especially considering it doesn't come with a case.
Performance suffers due to immature drivers, making games stuttery and frame rates drop.
The device can get quite hot during long gaming sessions, making it uncomfortable to hold.
There's no significant upgrade over the RG Ally or Legion Go, making it feel like a repeat of their mistakes.
Given its late-to-the-party status and competitors' price cuts, it might be best to wait for future updates before purchasing.
