The ASUS Vivobook 17 is less expensive and comes with a larger screen, making it suitable for those who prioritize a big display and want to save money. However, it's heavier and larger, which could affect portability. Performance-wise, it has a newer generation Intel i3 processor and a sufficient amount of RAM for general use. On the other hand, the Jumper 14" Laptop is more portable due to its smaller size and lighter weight. It has more RAM, which is better for multitasking, but uses an older Intel Celeron processor that might not be as powerful for demanding tasks. Neither are ideal for heavy 3D, machine learning, or gaming tasks. If battery life is a concern, note that the ASUS model has a larger battery, potentially offering longer use between charges. Choose the ASUS for a larger screen and potentially better battery life, or the Jumper for portability and more RAM for multitasking. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook 17 is good for general use, while the Jumper 14" Laptop is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook 17 offers a fair balance for general use with a larger screen and modest processing capabilities, but it tends to be less portable and has lower battery life; in contrast, the Jumper 14" Laptop, while more portable and with a longer battery life, compensates with a smaller display and less powerful processor, still deemed fair for routine tasks.

The ASUS Vivobook 17 is only fair for engineering and design, while the Jumper 14" Laptop is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook 17 is better suited for engineering and design use because it is equipped with a more powerful Intel i3-1220P CPU and UHD Graphics, while the Jumper 14" Laptop has a less capable Intel Celeron J4105 CPU and UHD Graphics 600, which are less suitable for demanding tasks. Additionally, the Vivobook's larger screen and battery capacity offer advantages for extended design work, although it is less portable and slightly heavier than the ultra-lightweight Jumper Laptop.

The ASUS Vivobook 17 has a better screen than the Jumper 14" Laptop for software development, and content creation.
The ASUS Vivobook 17's adequate resolution and brightness cater well to everyday tasks like browsing and video streaming, making it suitable for general use, but its limited color range and average panel type may not satisfy professionals in engineering and design who require precise color accuracy. The Jumper 14" Laptop, similar to the ASUS, provides sufficient screen quality for routine activities but falls short for engineering and design due to its subpar color gamut coverage. For gaming and 3D work, both laptops are less ideal because they lack high refresh rates, which are crucial for smooth motion and a more immersive experience in fast-paced scenarios.

How the ASUS Vivobook 17 and the Jumper 14" Laptop compare to other laptops
"The ASUS Vivobook 17 is an affordable 17-inch laptop with passive cooling. On one hand, you get a really quiet and cool work device with a good system performance, many connections, good maintenance options, speakers acceptable for multimedia enjoyment, and a sharp and clear matte FHD IPS display with the Asus VivoBook 17 (F712JA). On the other hand, the USB-C port lacks Power Delivery and DisplayPort, and the display, a higher brightness and better color space coverage."
"For the vast majority of people looking for a beautiful, affordable, and portable laptop, the Jumper EZbook S5 is a perfect choice. It’s surprisingly capable of things like web browsing, Office, webmail, and beyond. The experience offers a few compromises when it comes to more intensive tasks, but for college students looking to save money, or someone looking to buy their kid a basic daily-use laptop, this is truly one great option."
