If you prioritize performance, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 with its AMD Ryzen processor outperforms the Maypug 15" Laptop's Intel Celeron, which might be more fitting for basic tasks. The Lenovo also offers a higher resolution screen, which means clearer and sharper images, possibly making it a better choice for media consumption or productivity tasks. On the other hand, if storage space is less of a concern, the Maypug's smaller storage capacity probably won't be an issue. Both laptops are similarly portable with only slight differences in weight and dimensions, but the Lenovo seems to edge out in overall build and features. Choose the Lenovo for better performance and display or the Maypug for simpler tasks. Give Feedback

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 and Maypug 15" Laptop are both poor for gaming and AI.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 offers better performance for gaming and 3D tasks than the Maypug 15" Laptop largely due to its superior integrated GPU, the AMD Vega 6, which is more capable than the Intel UHD Graphics found in the Maypug. Additionally, the IdeaPad has a higher quality display with a full HD resolution, enhancing visual clarity and gaming experience, while the Maypug has a lower resolution display that impacts screen quality.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 to be only fair for engineering and design, while the Maypug 15" Laptop is poor.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3, with its AMD Ryzen 3 CPU and Vega 6 GPU, delivers fair performance for engineering and design tasks, balanced by a decent screen quality; the Maypug 15" Laptop has a weaker Intel Celeron CPU with integrated graphics and a lower-quality screen, making it less capable for such intensive tasks. While both laptops offer portability and fair keyboard quality, their performance tradeoffs are significant, with the Lenovo being notably better equipped for demanding applications compared to the underpowered Maypug.

Olivier Martin, Ryan Lim, and John Peroramas | May 2023
"The Lenovo IdeaPad 3i is decent for use as a workstation. Its Intel CPU and integrated graphics can only handle light productivity tasks, not demanding workloads like video editing or 3D graphics. You also can't do any color-critical work because the available displays have a narrow color gamut. It has a good port selection, but its USB-C lacks Thunderbolt 4 support. On the upside, it has a comfortable keyboard and doesn't get hot or loud under load."
