If you need a laptop for intensive tasks like engineering software, 3D modeling, or heavy multitasking, the Dell Precision 5470, with its advanced processor and dedicated graphics card, will deliver much better performance. However, it's also more expensive and slightly heavier, which might affect portability. On the other hand, the Maypug 15" Laptop is more affordable and might suffice for basic tasks like web browsing, office applications, and media consumption, but its lower-end processor and integrated graphics aren't suitable for demanding software, and the screen resolution is lower, which could impact your experience if high-quality visuals are important to you.

PCMag
Brian Westover | August 2022
"The Dell Precision 5470 is a mobile workstation that's far more portable than most alternatives. Between its slim 14-inch design and top-quality MIL-STD 810H build, it's one of the best options around for taking professional-grade performance on the road or to the job site. There are tradeoffs for its portability, and users of the most demanding, graphics-intensive applications will need to carry something heavier. But the Dell's exceptional battery life underscores its desirability as the most portable workstation we've seen."
