When choosing between the Maypug 15" Laptop and the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s, consider that the ThinkBook offers higher performance with a better processor, more memory, and higher screen resolution, making it suitable for demanding tasks and multitasking. It also has a more compact size, which enhances portability, and a higher battery capacity for longer use. Conversely, the Maypug's larger screen may be better for visibility but has lower resolution and potentially less power for intensive tasks. If you need higher performance for tasks like engineering, 3D work, or multitasking, the ThinkBook is the better option, whereas the Maypug could satisfy basic general use without the extra power.

The Lenovo ThinkBook 13s has a better screen than the Maypug 15" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
If you prioritize a sharp, bright display for everyday tasks like browsing and document editing, the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s offers satisfying quality with its resolution and panel type. For precision tasks such as engineering and design where color accuracy is key, the ThinkBook's color gamut coverage ensures more vibrant and true-to-life colors. However, if you're into fast-paced gaming or working with 3D applications, the Maypug's lower refresh rate may hinder smooth motion, whereas the ThinkBook, despite its good display for other uses, still falls short for gaming due to the same limitation.

The Verge
Monica Chin | July 2021
"The best thing about the ThinkBook 13S is that it’s a good deal. Business buyers looking for ThinkPad-level performance and software without ThinkPad pricing will probably find the ThinkBook a solid option. While nothing about it is really spectacular, it’s certainly unusual to see the ThinkBook’s screen resolution at a sub-$1,000 price, and its performance will be more than adequate for most office tasks. The generous port selection, 16:10 aspect ratio, physical webcam shutter, and clear audio are certainly icing on the cake."
