The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED offers a higher resolution OLED display which gives you vibrant colors and deeper blacks, better for visual tasks like photo editing or watching high-quality videos. It also has a more powerful Intel i5 processor, which handles multitasking and demanding applications more effectively, making it suitable for engineering tasks or light gaming. The Maypug 15" Laptop, on the other hand, has a larger screen but a lower resolution IPS display, and it runs on a less powerful Intel Celeron processor, suited more for basic tasks like web browsing or word processing. The Maypug is slightly heavier, but the difference in weight is minimal. If you require your laptop to have a prolonged battery life or execute more demanding tasks, the ASUS is the better option, though it comes at a higher cost. However, if your use is more casual and budget is a primary concern, the Maypug could meet your needs at a lower price point. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED has a better screen than the Maypug 15" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS Zenbook's OLED panel provides vibrant colors and deep contrasts, making it excellent for general use and engineering tasks that benefit from high color accuracy. However, OLEDs usually have slower refresh rates, which detracts from the smoothness required for optimal gaming and 3D experiences. The Maypug's screen quality suffers in all areas as it lacks the sharp resolution, brightness, and color accuracy needed for general use and professional tasks, and also doesn't offer the high refresh rates for gaming and 3D work.

PCMag
Matthew Buzzi | September 2023
"While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros."
