The Dell Inspiron 15 3511 offers a solid performance suite suitable for general use and multitasking, thanks to its better processor and graphics combination. It is designed for those who need a reliable machine for everyday tasks and occasional intensive applications. In contrast, the Jumper 16" Laptop is much more affordable but comes with lower performance capabilities due to its basic processor and graphics, making it more suitable for light tasks like web browsing, office applications, and media consumption. The Dell is heavier and may be less portable compared to the lighter Jumper, which could be a plus for those who travel often. You'll also get a slightly larger screen with the Jumper for better immersion but at the cost of reduced power compared to the Dell. Battery life is crucial for mobility, and while specific battery life isn't provided, the battery size in watt-hours suggests the Dell may have an edge in longevity. Consider the Dell if you need more power and plan to use demanding software, or the Jumper if you prioritize budget and portability for basic tasks. Give Feedback

PCMag

Zachary Cuevas | November 2021
"The Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (3511) is a solid, if unremarkable, 15-inch budget laptop. It improves on many of the issues we had with the previous 3505 model, and with the inclusion of Windows 11, the 3511 is already a step above its competition. The lack of a USB-C port, the subpar speakers, and the dim display are drawbacks to factor in, but it's still one of the better 15-inch budget laptops on the market, especially when you consider it's under $400."
