If you prioritize gaming or intensive tasks like 3D modeling and video editing, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 with its powerful graphics card and processor is better suited for these activities, though it is heavier and has a shorter battery life. On the other hand, if you prefer something more affordable for general use, such as web browsing, office applications, and video streaming, the Maypug 15" Laptop would suffice, offering a longer battery life and lighter design, but with less power for demanding software and lower screen resolution.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 15.6" is good for general use, while the Maypug 15" Laptop is poor.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7, with its powerful AMD Ryzen CPU and Nvidia graphics, doubled RAM capacity, and higher resolution display, offers a robust performance and better multitasking capabilities for general use, further supported by its good portability and decent battery life. In contrast, the Maypug 15" Laptop falls short with a less capable Intel Celeron processor, half the RAM, and a lower resolution screen, impacting its overall productivity and screen clarity, despite being slightly more portable and having similar battery endurance.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 15.6" is good for gaming and AI, while the Maypug 15" Laptop is poor.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 excels in gaming and 3D with a robust NVIDIA RTX 3060 graphics card and a high screen refresh rate of 165Hz, while the Maypug 15" laptop falls short with a basic Intel UHD Graphics designed for entry-level use and a standard refresh rate of 60Hz.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 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 Legion Slim 7 offers a display that delivers clear visuals and vibrant colors, suitable for engineering and design tasks that require precise color representation and detail, but for gaming, its lower refresh rate might not provide the smooth experience gamers seek. The Maypug 15" Laptop has lower screen clarity and brightness, which may not appeal to users who prioritize a sharp and vivid display for everyday tasks or professional design work. Moreover, its inferior color accuracy and low refresh rate make it less ideal for graphic design and 3D applications, where precise color rendering and fluid motion are crucial.

"The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is a slim Legion notebook that is just as excellent with Nvidia & Intel. However, the Legion Slim 7i slightly sullied by lacklustre battery life. You get a slim aluminium chassis, great input devices, decent port selection, fast high-quality WQXGA display and great performance. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 is one advantage of the Intel/Nvidia model tested in this review. Moreover, this variant has slightly higher CPU performance as well as better GPU performance in certain applications (e.g. CUDA-based apps). The Lenovo Legion S7i is thin, premium and performant – but less efficient than its AMD counterpart."
