Based on your preferences, if exceptional multitasking capability and high-resolution displays are important to you, the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 excels with its dual screens and better performance for intensive tasks. However, it is less portable due to its weight and size. On the other hand, the Maypug 15" is more affordable, and while its performance is more modest, it is suitable for basic tasks and the lightweight design improves portability. Battery life is also a consideration; if you require longer unplugged usage, the Zenbook Duo has an edge. Choose the Maypug if cost and portability are your main concerns, or the Zenbook Duo for better performance and innovative dual-screen functionality. Give Feedback

Allen Ngo | May 2020
"The Asus ZenBook Duo's second screen is like the Apple Touch Bar, but better. Most would agree that having two screens instead of one can really boost productivity and the ZenBook Duo is no different in this regard. It's tough going back to just one screen after becoming accustomed to spacious dual-screen setups. For a laptop form factor, however, users will have to accept some compromises. Firstly, weight is the most obvious drawback as the system is several hundred grams heavier than a regular ZenBook 14. Additionally, colors on the second screen will not be as vivid as the main display."
