When choosing between the Maypug 15" Laptop and the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo, consider your priorities. If you prioritize lower cost and larger screen size for basic tasks like web browsing and document editing, the Maypug with its lower price point and 15.6-inch display may suffice. However, its lower resolution and less powerful processor make it less suitable for intensive tasks. The MSI, on the other hand, is slightly more expensive but offers a higher resolution, better performance with a more powerful processor, and is more portable due to its smaller size and lighter weight, making it a better option for demanding applications and for those who need to work on the go. Additionally, the MSI is a 2-in-1 convertible, offering versatility as both a laptop and a tablet, which the Maypug does not. If battery life is a concern, the MSI also offers a significantly better battery performance. Give Feedback

The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is good for general use, while the Maypug 15" Laptop is poor.
The Maypug 15" Laptop, with its less advanced Intel Celeron processor, lower RAM, and screen with basic resolution and brightness, does not handle multitasking or high-quality video as efficiently as the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo, which boasts a more powerful Intel i7 processor, double the RAM, and a higher resolution and brighter screen for sharper images and better overall performance. Additionally, the MSI's superior portability due to its lighter weight and longer battery life, combined with higher quality keyboard and speakers, make it a better choice for general use compared to the bulkier and less enduring Maypug 15".

The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is good for engineering and design, while the Maypug 15" Laptop is poor.
The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is better suited for engineering and design due to its higher-performing Intel i7 processor, double the RAM, and superior graphics capabilities with the Intel Iris Xe, in contrast to the Maypug 15" Laptop which has a less powerful Intel Celeron processor, less RAM, and a basic Intel UHD Graphics chip. Additionally, the MSI has a higher resolution touchscreen display with better color accuracy and a sturdier build, whereas the Maypug's lower resolution screen and build quality detract from detailed design work and robust engineering simulations.

The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo has a better screen than the Maypug 15" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
When selecting a laptop, for general use, you'll appreciate the MSI Summit E13's brighter display with higher resolution, offering clearer and more vibrant visuals compared to the dimmer, lower resolution screen of the Maypug. For engineering and design, the MSI Summit presents a wider range of colors, essential for accurate design work, whereas the Maypug's limited color range may result in less precise color representation. However, for gaming and 3D applications, the MSI Summit falls short with a standard refresh rate, making fast-paced visuals less smooth than some gamers would prefer, even though the Maypug also may not provide the ideal experience for these uses due to its overall poor screen quality.

Allen Ngo | April 2021
"MSI wants to prove that it can do more than just gaming laptops and the Summit E13 Flip is a great example of what the manufacturer is capable of especially in terms of aesthetics and performance. Normally for subnotebooks or convertibles, TDP and performance are often below average as makers want to meet slimmer designs and lower weight targets. The Summit manages to outperform others in its size class and category while still looking sleek and portable in the process. If you want a convertible that won't throttle significantly when under load, then this MSI will be one of the better options you can find."
