If you are looking for high performance and are okay with a higher price, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 is the better option as it has a more powerful processor, better graphics, and a higher resolution screen, which makes it suitable for intensive tasks like engineering, 3D design, or gaming. However, it is heavier and has less battery life. The Maypug 15" Laptop is more affordable and lighter with longer battery life, making it a good choice for general use such as browsing and office applications, but it has a lower resolution screen and less capable hardware, which might not be suitable for demanding applications.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the Maypug 15" Laptop is poor.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers better performance for gaming and 3D applications due to its Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti GPU, which is superior to the Intel UHD Graphics found in the Maypug 15" Laptop. Additionally, the ASUS's OLED screen with higher pixel density would likely provide a better viewing experience compared to the Maypug's IPS display, despite both having the same refresh rate.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 has a better screen than the Maypug 15" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
For general use, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 15's high resolution and bright display enhance everyday viewing experiences, while the Maypug 15" Laptop's lower resolution and dimmer screen can make text and images less crisp and vivid. During engineering and design work, the Zenbook Pro 15's wider color gamuts ensure more accurate color representation, which is crucial for professional editing and modeling, but the Maypug falls short in this aspect. For gaming and 3D applications where smooth motion is key, the Zenbook's lower refresh rate may lead to less fluid visuals compared to laptops with higher refresh rates, despite its high resolution and panel type advantages.

Allen Ngo | May 2022
"The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers a strong CPU, chassis, and display. One of the most popular 15.6-inch prosumer or multimedia laptops out there is the Dell XPS 15. Thus, comparisons between it and the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 are inevitable. Asus has a couple of tricks up its sleeve that XPS users are still missing out on including 1080p OLED and an AMD Ryzen CPU which help separate the Zenbook Pro 15 from the XPS 15. It also integrates a numpad and a few more port options albeit at the cost of a larger chassis size."
