Since you're considering the Maypug 15" Laptop and the Razer Blade 17, take into account that the Maypug's lower price tag generally comes with modest performance suited for everyday tasks like web browsing, office applications, and media consumption. The Razer Blade 17, on the other hand, offers high-end performance that excels in demanding activities such as gaming, 3D modeling, and video editing but at a steeper price. While the Maypug is likely more portable due to its smaller size and perhaps lighter weight, the Razer Blade's larger screen and potent hardware make it less portable but better for intensive tasks. Battery life often correlates with the laptop's power consumption; thus, the Razer Blade may have shorter battery life compared to the Maypug, which is likely to have less power-hungry components. Choose the Maypug for cost-efficiency and portability or the Razer Blade for top-tier performance and larger screen real estate, depending on your primary needs. Give Feedback

Sascha Mölck | July 2022
"Our test configuration of the Blade 17 targets gamers and creative professionals. A Core i9-12900H processor, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU (175 watts TGP after the BIOS update, 16 GB of VRAM), and 32 GB of working memory equip the laptop for video processing, rending, and 4k gaming at the highest level. In addition, a fast PCIe-4 SSD (1 TB) ensures short load and storage times. With the Blade 17 (Early 2022), Razer delivers a successful and powerful work device for creative professionals. But this also has its price."
