When choosing between the HP Envy x360 and the Maypug 15" Laptop, consider that the HP Envy is a 2-in-1 convertible, allowing usage as a laptop and a tablet, which may be beneficial if you need versatility and tablet functionality. However, if the cost is a major factor and you don't need the 2-in-1 feature, the typically lower-priced Envy might align better with your budget. That said, the Maypug, with its lower resolution screen, may not offer as crisp visuals as the Envy's Full HD display. Lastly, if portability is key, the lighter weight of the Maypug could be an advantage, although its performance may not match the Envy's due to different processors. Give Feedback

The HP Envy x360 15" has a better screen than the Maypug 15" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The HP Envy x360 15" has a decent resolution and brightness, making it suitable for everyday tasks and readability, but it lacks the broader color gamuts needed for precise engineering and design work, and its refresh rate isn't high enough for smooth 3D gaming experiences. The Maypug 15" Laptop's screen falls short in brightness and resolution which impacts its usability in various settings, including general use, and it also doesn't cover the necessary color gamuts for professional design applications, nor does it have the high refresh rate gamers seek for fluid motion in 3D environments. Overall, the HP Envy provides a middle ground for general use and design tasks, while the Maypug's display is less impressive across the board, affecting all mentioned use cases.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers HP Envy x360 15" to be only fair for gaming and AI, while the Maypug 15" Laptop is poor.
The HP Envy x360 15" is better suited for gaming and 3D applications than the Maypug 15" Laptop because it has a more capable GPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U Vega 7, which can handle graphics-intensive tasks more effectively than the Intel UHD Graphics found in the Maypug. Both laptops have similar screen refresh rates, but the more powerful GPU in the HP Envy will offer a notably improved experience for activities that rely heavily on graphical processing power.

How the HP Envy x360 15" and the Maypug 15" Laptop compare to other laptops
"Despite its good looks, stellar webcam and comfortable keyboard, the Envy x360 15 is hard to recommend because of its dim, 16:9 display. If the display isn't an issue for you, just be sure to wait for a good sale price. Otherwise, a more modern two-in-one with a 16:10 display such as the Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 or Lenovo Yoga 7i 16 provides a larger workspace without adding much to the size and weight of the system."
