The ASUS Vivobook 15X offers better performance with its AMD Ryzen processor and integrated Vega graphics, making it suitable for more demanding tasks and casual gaming. It also has a higher-resolution 1920x1080 display for sharper images. If battery life is a priority, you may lean towards the Maypug 15" Laptop, which has a longer-lasting battery. However, the Maypug uses an Intel Celeron processor with Intel UHD Graphics, which is less powerful, and it features a lower resolution 1366x768 display. The Vivobook's build quality and overall user experience will likely be superior, but if your tasks are light, such as web browsing and document editing, and you're seeking longer battery life, the Maypug could save you money in the long run due to its energy-efficient components.

The ASUS Vivobook 15X is good for general use, while the Maypug 15" Laptop is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook 15X provides a better experience for general use than the Maypug 15" Laptop primarily due to its superior CPU and higher resolution screen.

The ASUS Vivobook 15X is only fair for engineering and design, while the Maypug 15" Laptop is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook 15X is more suitable for engineering and design tasks due to its superior processor (AMD Ryzen 5), better integrated graphics, and higher screen resolution, which offers better visual clarity and performance for design software compared to the Maypug 15" Laptop with its basic Intel Celeron processor, lower-tier graphics, and reduced screen resolution that may not handle intensive applications as effectively. Despite both having a comparable amount of storage and RAM, the higher-quality screen and more powerful CPU/GPU combo in the Asus make it a better fit for such demanding tasks.

The ASUS Vivobook 15X has a better screen than the Maypug 15" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
If you prioritize a clear and vivid screen for everyday tasks like browsing and watching videos, the ASUS Vivobook 15X with its fair resolution and brightness offers a decent experience, while the Maypug 15" Laptop's poorer screen might not be as satisfying. For engineering and design work that demands color accuracy, the ASUS's fair coverage of color gamuts can handle moderate professional tasks, unlike the Maypug's poorer reproduction of colors, which may not be ideal. When it comes to Gaming and 3D applications, the ASUS falls short with its lower refresh rate, and while both laptops won't excel in this area, gamers and 3D designers might find both models lacking for fluid, fast-paced visuals.

"All in all, my day on the Vivobook had its ups and downs. It is a really pretty and well-built device, and it had all of the functionality I needed to get me through my browser-based workload. But the speakers weren’t my favorite, and the battery life was just too short."
