Review on 💻 MSI Summit E13 Flip EVO Pro Laptop: 13" Touch Screen, Intel Core i7-1185G7, Iris Xe, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD, Windows 10 Pro, Pure White (A11MT-020) by John Maynard

Running geekbench 5 I see 1507 single core and 5344 multi core, with cinebench r23 I see 1418 single core and 5540 multi core which is very good/on xps13 level is. However, the thermals are always above 90°C in both tests, and the maximum temperature reaches 100°C in throttling (in performance mode). Even in balanced mode (performance isn't that good) it's still over 90°C on average. I have to put it on silent to keep it around 70-80C during testing. Cinebench also crashed a few times, but the laptop didn't. Heat and durability issues aside, the laptop is very good, fast and looks very well built. I'm curious if anyone else sees similar timings when testing (I used hwinfo64 for timings). There are currently no detailed online reviews. Considering how hot it is, I'm wondering how long it will last given hours of rendering etc. So I'm hesitant to let it go. (and yes, I could get a bigger desktop or laptop, but I'd like a device ;-))
