Choosing between the Acer Swift 3 and the Jumper 16" Laptop depends on your priorities. If you prioritize performance and build quality, the Acer Swift 3 with a better processor, more RAM, and higher solid state drive capacity offers enhanced capabilities suitable for more demanding tasks. In contrast, if the cost is a major factor and your usage is limited to basic tasks, the Jumper's affordability may appeal to you, despite its lower performance hardware. Bear in mind that while the Jumper is larger and heavier, which might affect portability, it may also offer a larger screen for more comfortable viewing. Both run the same operating system, so the software experience will be similar. Consider your budget against your need for performance and portability to decide which laptop best fits your requirements. Give Feedback

The Acer Swift 3 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the Jumper 16" Laptop is poor.
The Acer Swift 3 is fair for gaming and 3D because it has a more capable integrated GPU with the Iris Xe graphics, whereas the Jumper 16" Laptop is poor for gaming due to its less powerful Intel UHD Graphics 600. Both laptops have the same screen refresh rate, but the superior GPU in the Acer Swift 3 provides better gaming performance.

The Acer Swift 3 is good for engineering and design, while the Jumper 16" Laptop is poor.
The Acer Swift 3 outperforms the Jumper 16" Laptop for engineering and design due to its superior CPU (Intel i5-1240P), greater RAM (16GB), and better GPU (Intel Iris Xe), all of which are crucial for demanding tasks such as 3D modeling and computation-heavy applications. In contrast, the Jumper is less suitable because it has a much weaker CPU (Intel Celeron J4105), less RAM (4GB), and a weaker GPU (Intel UHD Graphics 600), which can hinder performance in intensive engineering software and design work.

The Acer Swift 3 has a better screen than the Jumper 16" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
If you primarily use your laptop for web browsing, productivity applications, and watching videos, the Acer Swift 3 with its brighter display and higher resolution will offer a clearer and more vibrant experience than the Jumper 16" Laptop. For engineering and design tasks requiring color accuracy, the Acer's screen, which likely covers a wider range of color gamuts, would be preferable when working with detailed graphics or video editing. However, if gaming or working with 3D applications is a priority for you, neither laptop is ideal due to their lower refresh rates, which can result in less smooth visuals during fast-paced scenes.

Sebastian Jentsch | February 2022
"With the Swift 3, Acer delivers a 14-inch laptop with a sleek, slim metal chassis. The latter is of high quality and sturdy enough for everyday use, which is a real plus point among the 700-Euro (~$798) models. A new feature is Thunderbolt 4 in the Type-C format for peripherals or even displays (DisplayPort via Type-C). Unfortunately, a card reader is still missing, and the RAM is completely onboard, so there are no upgrade options here. Acer's 14-incher is affordable, yet it does everything most would want from a truly mobile laptop: Long battery life, a great display, quality, sufficient ports, light weight, and low noise and heat emissions."
