Choose the Lenovo Flex 5 if you require flexibility and better performance, as it's a 2-in-1 device with higher processing power, making it suitable for more demanding tasks and offering tablet functionality. However, the Maypug has a larger screen if you prefer more display real estate, though it has lower resolution and less computing power, which might limit it to basic tasks and is less suitable for intensive applications. The Lenovo typically outperforms in chassis build quality, battery life, and everyday performance; meanwhile, the Maypug is heavier and not as well-suited for tasks beyond general usage.

Allen Ngo | May 2021
"The highlight of the latest IdeaPad Flex 5 14 is clearly its AMD CPU. The octa-core Ryzen 7 5700U is insanely fast even when compared to the best Tiger Lake Ultrabooks in the market or even Core H CPUs in many gaming laptops. It's a lot of raw processing power for what is supposed to be a budget 14-inch convertible. If your daily workloads can benefit from extra multi-thread CPU performance, then look no further than the inexpensive AMD-powered Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14. For regular on-the-road browsing or video streaming, however, a slimmer and lighter 10th gen Core Yoga, Spectre, or XPS would be a more balanced option."
