If you prioritize a larger screen and better multitasking capabilities in tasks or running multiple applications at once, the ASUS Vivobook 17 would be a suitable choice; its larger memory and more powerful processor are well-suited for these needs. However, the Jumper 16" Laptop offers a slightly higher resolution screen in a more compact form, making it the more portable option. It's also the more affordable choice, but this comes at the expense of lower internal storage and less memory, which means it might struggle with intensive tasks. Both laptops have similar build quality, though, and run the same operating system, so for basic use like web browsing, document editing, and streaming, both can serve well. Keep in mind the ASUS is heavier, making it less ideal for frequent travel. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook 17 has a better screen than the Jumper 16" Laptop for software development, and content creation.
For general use, both the ASUS Vivobook 17 and Jumper 16" Laptop have screens that meet basic standards with acceptable resolution and brightness, but they may lack the crispness and vibrancy found in higher-end panels. When it comes to engineering and design, their fair screen quality suggests they cover a decent range of colors, but professionals who need precise color accuracy for their work would benefit from screens with better coverage of color gamuts like DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB. In the gaming and 3D realm, both laptops fall short because their refresh rates are not high enough to deliver the smooth visuals that enthusiasts seek, and their resolution and panel type, while satisfactory, don't push into the high-end territory where gaming and 3D models come to life.
