The ASUS Vivobook Go 12 is significantly more affordable than the Jumper 16" Laptop, making it an attractive option for those on a tight budget. It's also more portable due to its smaller size and lighter weight, suited for on-the-go use. However, it comes with a lower resolution screen and potentially less powerful components, which could limit performance for demanding tasks. In contrast, the Jumper 16" Laptop offers a larger screen with higher resolution, likely providing a better viewing experience and more room for multitasking, but it is more expensive and less portable. If portability and budget are your top priorities, the ASUS might be the better pick, whereas if you are looking for better screen quality and potentially improved performance for tasks like 3D work, machine learning, gaming, or engineering, and don't mind spending more, the Jumper could be a better fit.

The Jumper 16" Laptop has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 12 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, and content creation.
For general use, the ASUS Vivobook Go 12 may disappoint due to its lower resolution and dim display, which can make text less sharp and colors less vibrant, while the Jumper's larger screen and fair resolution provide a more comfortable viewing experience. In engineering and design fields, accurate color representation is crucial, and both laptops may struggle in this area, with the Jumper being somewhat better due to its fair screen quality but still lacking in higher color gamut coverage that professionals seek. Gamers and those using 3D applications may find both laptops underwhelming: the ASUS falls short with both resolution and panel type, whereas the Jumper, while having a decent panel and resolution, lacks the higher refresh rate needed for smooth motion rendering.

The Jumper 16" Laptop and ASUS Vivobook Go 12 are both poor for general use.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 12 is less suitable for general use due to its lower screen quality, as evidenced by a basic TN panel with lower resolution and brightness, and less storage which may limit the amount of data and applications you can have on the device at one time. Compared to the Vivobook, the Jumper 16" Laptop offers a larger, higher resolution IPS screen and double the storage, but its larger size and heavier weight make it less portable, and it also falls short in build quality, heat management, and speaker quality, affecting long-term comfort and multimedia experience.

The Jumper 16" Laptop and ASUS Vivobook Go 12 are both poor for gaming and AI.
Both the ASUS Vivobook Go 12 and the Jumper 16" Laptop are ill-suited for gaming and 3D tasks largely due to their Intel UHD Graphics 600, which provide minimal power for these activities, and their screen's refresh rate of 60Hz that limits smooth motion portrayal. Additionally, their CPUs are not as powerful as gaming-specific models, and while the Jumper has a better screen quality with higher resolution and an IPS panel, these factors are not sufficient to compensate for the drawbacks in the GPU and refresh rate.

The Jumper 16" Laptop and ASUS Vivobook Go 12 are both poor for engineering and design.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 12 and the Jumper 16" Laptop are not well-suited for engineering and design due to their limited CPU and GPU capabilities, with both having low-powered Intel Celeron processors and basic Intel UHD Graphics, which are inadequate for the demands of engineering software. Furthermore, both have only 4GB of RAM, and the ASUS's TN screen with lower resolution causes strain during design work, while the Jumper's IPS display, though better, still falls short for professional design tasks due to modest color coverage and contrast.
