The Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i offers better performance with its higher-end processor and graphics card, making it suitable for intensive tasks and gaming. It also has a higher resolution and larger screen, more memory and storage, and a durable build, which is ideal for engineers or professionals who need to run complex software. In contrast, the Maypug 15" Laptop is lighter and typically costs less but comes with a lower resolution screen, a less powerful processor, and less memory and storage, which is fine for basic tasks like web browsing, office applications, and media consumption. If portability and budget are your top priorities, the Maypug might be the better option, but if you need more power and features for demanding applications, invest in the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i is good for gaming and AI, while the Maypug 15" Laptop is poor.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i is better for gaming and 3D tasks due to its dedicated Nvidia RTX 4050 graphics card and a screen refresh rate of 120, providing smoother visuals and better graphic performance.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i has a better screen than the Maypug 15" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
For general use, the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i's high resolution and bright display with an advanced panel type offer clear and vibrant images, which might not be as crisp on the Maypug 15" Laptop due to its lower resolution and brightness. When it comes to engineering and design, the IdeaPad's coverage of professional color gamuts ensures accurate color representation that's essential for detail-oriented work, a feature the Maypug falls short on, potentially leading to less precise color work. Regarding 3D and gaming, the Lenovo’s screen might lack the high refresh rate that's crucial for smooth motion, which could be a drawback even if the Maypug's overall screen quality doesn't meet the mark either.

Tom's Hardware
Brandon Hill | January 2024
"Lenovo’s IdeaPad Pro 5i represents an impressive opening salvo for Meteor Lake in the ultraportable space against familiar foes from AMD and Apple. Not only does the Core Ultra 5 125H processor provide good performance across the board, but battery life remains a strong point against the Acer Swift Edge 16 with its AMD Ryzen 7 7840U processor. It can’t quite match the endurance of the 15-inch MacBook Pro, but the gap is shrinking."
