If you prioritize savings, the Maypug 15" can be attractive, especially for everyday tasks like browsing and office applications. On the other hand, the Razer Blade 15 is known for high performance, making it suitable for 3D work, machine learning, and gaming. Expect the Razer to be less budget-friendly, but if demanding applications and games are essential to your daily routine, its extra cost is justified by its powerful internals. Battery life usually takes a hit with high-performance laptops, so the Maypug may prevail for longer untethered use. If frequent travel is a consideration, lighter and thinner laptops like the Maypug could be more convenient to carry than the heavier Razer Blade. Choose based on what you'll use your laptop for most: if it's intensive tasks, consider the Razer despite the higher price; if it's general use and portability, the Maypug could serve you well and save money.

The Razer Blade 15 has a better screen than the Maypug 15" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Maypug 15" laptop's screen may not provide the sharpness and clarity needed for general activities like browsing and watching videos, lacking the color accuracy crucial for tasks in engineering and design, and may disappoint with its refresh rate which is key for smooth visuals in gaming and 3D applications. Conversely, the Razer Blade 15 excels in delivering vivid and accurate colors along with sharp resolution for both everyday and professional engineering use, enhancing the visual experience considerably, but falls short in gaming due to its lower refresh rate which is less optimal for fast-paced action. Carefully consider if your primary use leans towards productivity or entertainment, as the Razer Blade 15 will shine in the former, while the Maypug may not meet expectations in either area.

Allen Ngo | March 2022
"The 2022 Blade 15 offers roughly 15 to 25 percent faster graphics performance and 20 percent faster CPU performance over last year's Core i7-11800H and RTX 3080 model. Thankfully, the system doesn't need to run noticeably louder or warmer to achieve faster results, but both power consumption and battery life take a hit. The higher consumption in particular appears to be a trend amongst many 12th gen Core laptops including the Schenker Uniwill Technology GM7AG8P or MSI Vector GP66 when compared to their previous generation counterparts. We're also glad to not see below-average CPU performance which was the case for the 10th gen Core i7-10875H model."
