If you prioritize high performance for intensive tasks like engineering, 3D modeling, or gaming, the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 is a more suitable choice as it comes with powerful internals and a high-resolution display. However, it is less portable due to its higher price and slightly more weight compared to the Maypug. Conversely, the Maypug 15" Laptop offers basic functionality at a more affordable price and is lighter, which makes it more portable. Keep in mind though, that its performance is much lower due to it having a less powerful processor and it is not as suitable for demanding tasks. The ASUS also doubles as a tablet, adding to its versatility if that benefits your needs. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 has a better screen than the Maypug 15" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
For an engaging general-use experience, the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 offers a crisp, vibrant display due to its superior resolution and brightness, making texts and images appear sharp and clear, whereas the Maypug's display falls short, appearing less vivid and potentially causing strain over long usage. When it comes to engineering and design, the ASUS Zenbook's ability to accurately represent a broad range of colors is crucial for professionals requiring precision in their visuals, while the Maypug's limited color range can lead to less accurate color representation, affecting the overall quality of design work. Lastly, the ASUS may not be ideal for 3D applications or gaming due to its lower refresh rate, resulting in less fluid motion compared to laptops specifically geared for gaming, whereas the Maypug, having poor screen quality across the board, fails to deliver an adequate experience in the realm of fast-paced graphics as well.

Charles Jefferies | January 2023
"The Asus Zenbook S 13 Flip is an ultra-sleek 2-in-1 convertible. A gorgeous OLED screen and lightweight magnesium chassis make this convertible a traveller’s dream. Its SSD isn’t fast, but it won’t hold you back in everyday use. Its battery life also isn’t class leading, but it’s hardly off the pace. Overall, the Zenbook S 13 Flip OLED holds its head high in the premium convertible category and is a smaller alternative to the Spectre x360 13.5 and the Yoga 9i Gen 7."
