The Dell Inspiron 15 3520 has a better screen than the Jumper 16" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
For general use, both the Dell Inspiron 15 3520 and Jumper 16" Laptop have adequate resolution and brightness, but their panel types may not provide the most vivid colors or widest viewing angles, which makes them just fine for everyday tasks like browsing and streaming. When it comes to engineering and design, while the resolution might be suitable for detailed work, the limited color gamut coverage means these laptops won't display the full spectrum of colors professionals need for precise color work. For gaming and 3D applications, the refresh rate on both models is lower, leading to less fluid motion and potentially less immersive experience, while the resolution and panel type may not meet the higher standards desired for these uses.

PCMag
Mark Knapp | January 2023
"Dell's Inspiron 15 (3525) is a peppy-enough and affordable-enough home or remote work machine, but it's not very ambitious; it does little to go beyond the basics. More the concern: It’s readily overshadowed by a number of machines that outperform and outclass it. Even if the Inspiron can get the job done today, its competition has the mettle to keep doing the job tomorrow in a way the Inspiron simply can’t promise. Plus, those alternatives are much more enjoyable after work."
