The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro offers higher resolution, better performance with a more powerful processor and graphics, more memory and storage, and a higher quality display with a faster refresh rate, making it suitable for more demanding tasks, engineering, and better-quality media consumption. However, it's heavier and has a longer battery life. The Maypug 15" Laptop, despite its lower cost, comes with a less powerful processor and graphics, less memory and storage, and a lower resolution display, but it's lighter, which makes it more portable and suited for basic use like web browsing and office applications. Consider the Lenovo if you need high performance and better visuals, while the Maypug is suited for casual use where portability and cost are key factors. Give Feedback

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro has a better screen than the Maypug 15" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro offers a high-resolution display with vibrant colors and high brightness, which makes images and text sharp and easy to see for general tasks and detailed enough for engineering and design work, also covering wider color gamuts that professionals need. However, its lower refresh rate doesn't suit 3D applications and gaming, where smooth motion is key. In contrast, the Maypug 15" Laptop's screen lacks in both resolution and color reproduction, leading to a less satisfying experience across all scenarios, and its insufficient refresh rate further detracts from 3D and gaming uses.

NotebookCheck
Allen Ngo | October 2021
"The main selling point of the IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro versus a regular IdeaPad Slim 7 is its faster Core H-series CPU. In reality, the Core i7-11370H is only marginally faster than the U-series Core i7-1165G7 to the point where most users are not likely to notice the benefits. The slight performance uptick comes at the cost of slightly higher power consumption as well meaning owners will have to deal with potentially warmer temperatures or louder fans to compensate. Unless if you happen to be a power user, then the regular non-Pro model will be more than enough. Once you go 90 Hz, you can't go back."
