MSI Summit E15 laptop review: Advance into the premium business segment

[Redaktion]

The Summit E15 is supposed to make life difficult for the established Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme and Dell XPS 15 top dogs. To achieve this, MSI uses the most current technology: Tiger Lake, Turing, USB 4.0, Thunderbolt 4, PCI Express 4. Our test shows, whether this plan succeeds.

LOL this keyboard layout from MSI is so weird and unusual. What's up with Fn on the right, narrow and squeezed with Alt, extremely wide Ctrl, narrow tilde key?

Anyway, I have a question for anyone with knowledge of it: for laptops with just 1 M.2 2280 slot on Tiger Lake laptops, does it or does it not support PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds? I asked Intel support on Twitter and even they don't know for sure. They admitted that Intel Tiger Lake platform does not automatically assure that the M.2 NVMe slot in the laptop will support PCI Express 4.0 Gen 4. It can STILL be PCIe 3.0. So they advise checking with the manufacturer!

Make it with 6/12 CPU and better screen and we are talking. 43.2 ms 60% argb is kinda meh. On the bright side - both RAM slots aren't soldered, great.

Glossy?  Hard Pass.   
Touchscreen?  Is this a children's toy or a business laptop?  Come on MSI.

Dump the 1650ti and put in the weak-a** 60w 3060 that you use in your Stealth 15M.

Make test of Power Consumption with GPU off please. For day by day using from the battery a lot of users just use it like business laptop, without games.  So, it has big battery and i7 11 gen. I think, with gpu off it must show more then 12-14 hr work on battery in work process.
