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

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."
