The MSI Summit E16 Flip is a 16-inch convertible 2-in-1 built for creative professionals and business users who wanted a business laptop that could double as a tablet. MSI released it across three generations — A11UCT (2021), A12UX and Evo A12MX (2022), and A13V and Evo A13M (2023) — pairing a 360-degree hinge and included stylus with Intel's higher-end mobile chips and, on most configurations, discrete NVIDIA graphics. That combination of pen input, a sharp touchscreen, and real GPU headroom is why used units still command decent interest on the resale market, especially in the higher processor and graphics tiers.

Confirm you have the MSI Summit E16 Flip

The fastest way to confirm your exact configuration is through Windows itself. Go to Settings → System → About to see the device name, or press Windows key + R, type dxdiag or msinfo32, and hit enter to see the processor, installed memory, and system model in one screen. The MSI Center app, if still installed, also lists your model number and warranty status directly. For a definitive answer, flip the laptop over and read the sticker near the regulatory markings — it lists the full model number.

A11UCT (2021, 11th Gen)

  • Intel Core i7 11th Gen processor
  • Earliest Summit E16 Flip generation
  • No Intel Evo badge on this generation

A12UX / Evo A12MX (2022, 12th Gen)

  • Intel Core i7 12th Gen processor
  • Evo A12MX carries Intel Evo certification
  • Available with RTX 3050 or 3050 Ti, or integrated graphics

A13V / Evo A13M (2023, 13th Gen)

  • Intel Core i7 13th Gen processor
  • Evo A13M carries Intel Evo certification
  • Highest graphics tier offered: NVIDIA RTX 4060

Prefer a visual check? The Summit E16 Flip has a 360-degree hinge that lets the display fold flat into tablet mode, a stylus garage or loop for the included MSI Pen, and a brushed-aluminum chassis in a light silver finish. If the hinge stops at a normal laptop angle and there's no pen storage, you have a different Summit model, not the Flip.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Intel Core i7, 11th Gen
  • Intel Core i7, 12th Gen
  • Intel Core i7, 13th Gen

The 13th Gen configuration is the newest and generally holds value best.

Graphics

  • Integrated Intel graphics
  • NVIDIA RTX 3050 or 3050 Ti
  • NVIDIA RTX 4060

Discrete graphics, especially the RTX 4060, moves the quote up the most of any single option — it's the difference between a document-and-browser machine and one that can handle real creative or light gaming workloads.

Memory & storage

  • Configuration set at time of original purchase
  • NVMe PCIe solid-state storage

Select the memory and storage tier that matches your unit above using dxdiag or msinfo32 if you're unsure.

Display & audio

Display

A 16-inch QHD+ touchscreen in a 16:10 aspect ratio, designed for the 2-in-1 hinge and for use with the included MSI Pen. The taller aspect ratio and higher resolution than a standard 1080p panel are part of what sets the Summit line apart from MSI's gaming-focused laptops.

Audio

Hi-Res Audio certified speakers tuned for video calls and media playback, which matters for a machine positioned as a business and creative tool rather than a gaming rig.

Security

A fingerprint reader built into the power button and an IR camera for Windows Hello face login, letting you skip password entry on a device meant for quick, frequent use.

Ports & connectivity

The Summit E16 Flip's port selection favors modern, high-throughput connections over legacy ones, in line with its Thunderbolt-equipped, business-laptop positioning.

Wired
  • USB-C with Thunderbolt 4
  • USB-A 3.2
  • HDMI
  • microSD card reader
Wireless
  • Wi-Fi 6E
  • Bluetooth

Battery, build & more

Build

An aluminum unibody chassis in a light silver finish, built to feel closer to a premium ultrabook than a typical convertible, with the 360-degree hinge as the defining mechanical feature.

Software

Ships with Windows 11 and MSI Center, which handles driver updates, fan and performance profiles, and battery charge limits.

Market positioning

Positioned against convertible flagships like the Dell XPS 15 2-in-1 or HP Spectre x360, but with more graphics headroom on the higher-tier configurations thanks to the optional discrete NVIDIA GPU.

Accessories

Look for the original MSI Pen and its charging cradle or dock, along with the barrel-style or USB-C power adapter. A complete set with the pen sells better than the laptop alone.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number / exact configuration?
Go to Settings → System → About in Windows, or press Windows key + R and run dxdiag or msinfo32 to see your processor, memory, and system model. The MSI Center app also lists your exact model number if it's still installed. For absolute certainty, check the sticker on the underside of the chassis, which lists the full model designation such as A11UCT, A12UX, A12MX, A13V, or A13M. Matching that number to the correct generation and configuration is the fastest way to confirm you're quoting the right unit before you send it in.
02 How do I tell it apart from the standard MSI Summit E16?
The standard Summit E16 is a clamshell, not a 2-in-1 — its hinge only opens to a normal laptop angle and it has no stylus garage or pen loop anywhere on the chassis. The Flip's hinge rotates a full 360 degrees so the display can fold flat against the base for tablet or tent mode, and it ships with the MSI Pen stored somewhere on the body. If your unit can't fold flat and came without a pen, you likely have the non-Flip Summit E16 rather than this model.
03 Can I sell it with damage (cracked screen, weak battery, won't turn on, account lock)?
Yes. A cracked touchscreen, a battery that no longer holds a charge, or a unit that won't power on at all still has resale value, since working boards and displays get pulled for repair parts. Select the condition that matches on the picker above and the quote adjusts automatically. Before shipping, remove the laptop from your Microsoft account and disable any device lock, BitLocker encryption, or Windows Hello sign-in tied to your identity — a locked or account-tied unit can't be tested or resold and will hold up your payment.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Configuration matters most: a 13th Gen processor paired with the RTX 4060 outvalues an 11th Gen unit with integrated graphics by a wide margin, since it's a genuinely more capable machine. After that, physical condition carries the most weight — a hinge that still folds smoothly through the full 360-degree range, a screen with no dead pixels or cracks, and a working stylus all matter for a convertible specifically. Including the original MSI Pen and power adapter also helps, since a complete set is worth more than the laptop alone.
05 How do I erase it and remove my accounts, and how do I get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose to remove everything, then confirm the device is removed from your Microsoft account under account.microsoft.com/devices. If BitLocker is enabled, suspend or disable it before the reset so the new owner isn't locked out. Once your quote is confirmed, shipping is free and insured — we send a prepaid label or box depending on the offer. Payment goes out after testing, by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check.
