Pros and Cons

Samsung Notebook 9 Pro

Strengths

Samsung really tried to balance everything out right, giving you good performance, good features, plus a little bit of gaming.
The laptop has a really nice 1920 by 1080 LED display.
It's got not only a 720p webcam at the top but also a face sensor for Windows Hello login.
The keyboard is really nice with curved keys that are sensitive and enjoyable to use.
The trackpad is also very responsive and nice to use.
Underneath, you'll find an Intel Core i7-7500U processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, a 256GB SSD, and eSATA for fast data transfer.
The laptop has a discreet Radeon 540 GPU, which provides good mid-range gaming performance.
The battery life is very good, lasting up to 590 minutes in our video rundown test.

Weaknesses

The speakers are not very good and don't have much volume.
They're not loud enough even when cranked up, making it hard to hear movies or audio.
The laptop's weight is a bit more than expected due to the discreet GPU, but still bearable at 3.8 pounds.
The AC adapter adds an extra 0.7 pounds, making the whole package feel slightly heavier.
Despite its small size, the vents can be felt when using the laptop on your lap.
The performance is not significantly different from other laptops with similar configurations.
The HP Spectre x360 has almost identical specs and performs similarly in benchmarks.
The only real standout feature of this laptop is the pen support, which is tacked into the body.

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.
