Deciding between the Maypug 15" and the XPG Xenia 14, consider that while the Maypug is less expensive, the XPG Xenia 14 offers better performance with a faster processor, more RAM, and higher quality graphics suitable for intensive tasks like gaming or light video editing. The XPG has a higher resolution and better quality display which makes for a more enjoyable viewing experience, especially for content creation or media consumption. The Maypug, on the other hand, prioritizes affordability and basic functions which are adequate for general use such as web browsing, document editing, and light multimedia tasks. The XPG also has a larger battery, potentially offering longer usage times away from a power source, but it's more costly. If portability is a key factor for you, the XPG is lighter and more compact, making it easier to carry around. Choose the Maypug for basic tasks and savings, or invest in the XPG if you require better performance, display, and portability. Give Feedback

The XPG Xenia 14 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 might disappoint you with its limited color range and low brightness, which affects clarity and detail for all users, particularly those needing precision in engineering and design tasks. The XPG Xenia 14, however, delivers vivid colors and sharp visuals suitable for professional work like CAD or graphic design, but its lower refresh rate can detract from the smooth visuals desired in fast-paced gaming experiences or when working with 3D applications. Both laptops appear to fall short for gaming and 3D work due to poor refresh rates, which mean less fluid movement and responsiveness during use.

Allen Ngo | July 2021
"The Xenia 14 is a top 14-inch laptop under 1 kg. ADATA isn't exactly known for its laptops and so we weren't expecting much from its first 14-inch Ultrabook. With that said, we're pleasantly surprised by how well the Xenia 14 looks and performs. Not only is it incredibly light, but it has a color accurate 16:10 display, high CPU and GPU performance, easy RAM and SSD serviceability, plenty of port options including Thunderbolt 4, and long battery life. It packs a lot of punch and features considering the size and weight to be better than even the LG Gram series."
