When considering the Maypug 15" Laptop and the Razer Book 13, if you prioritize saving money and need a computer for basic tasks, the Maypug could be suitable, as it is less expensive but comes with modest performance, a lower resolution screen, and limited storage capacity. On the other hand, for superior performance, especially in more demanding applications, better display quality, and a more compact and lightweight design, the Razer Book 13 is a significant step up, but this comes at a higher cost. The Razer also offers a high-quality build and features like a backlit keyboard, which the Maypug lacks. Give Feedback

Allen Ngo | December 2020
"The Razer Book is like an XPS 13, but faster. The Book 13 combines the design philosophy and performance of a Blade Stealth with the 16:10 display of a Dell XPS 13 for an impressive piece of hardware. Office users who want something more stylish than the typical Dell, HP or Lenovo will certainly find themselves drawn to this Razer subnotebook. If your priorities are to have the best-looking and fastest 13-inch laptop in the office over auxiliary features, however, then the Book 13 proudly fulfills that niche."
