The Lenovo Legion 7 stands out for performance-intensive tasks such as gaming, engineering, and 3D modeling due to its powerful AMD Ryzen processor and Nvidia RTX 3070 graphics card, making it more suitable for such demanding applications compared to the Maypug 15" Laptop, which has an Intel Celeron processor and integrated Intel UHD Graphics. However, this also means the Legion 7 is heavier and likely has shorter battery life, making the Maypug more portable and potentially better for everyday tasks like web browsing, office applications, and streaming video. The Legion 7's higher price reflects its advanced capabilities, so if budget is a concern and your needs are more basic, the Maypug could offer sufficient functionality at a lower cost. Give Feedback

Andreas Osthoff | September 2022
"The Lenovo Legion 7 is a fast 16-inch gamer with 165 Hz display. The new Lenovo Legion 7 is a very good gaming notebook that, despite its comparatively compact compact 16-inch case, does not have to do without the most powerful components. Thanks to good cooling, no compromises are made in terms of performance. Both the Core i9-12900HX and the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti perform at a very high level."
