Considering your preference for a slightly less expensive option, the Dell Inspiron 15 3525 might appeal to you as it falls into the budget price range; however, the Jumper 14" Laptop, which is in the lower midrange price bracket, offers more RAM which can improve multitasking performance, despite having half the storage capacity of the Dell. For performance-intensive tasks such as 3D rendering, machine learning, or gaming, neither of these laptops is ideal as they are equipped with entry-level processors and integrated graphics. The Dell has a larger 15.6-inch screen which is beneficial for productivity and media consumption, but this makes it less portable than the lighter and more compact Jumper with its 14-inch display. Battery size isn't specified for the Jumper, but it's lighter overall weight suggests it may have a smaller battery, potentially resulting in shorter battery life compared to the Dell which has a 41 Wh battery. The Dell's touchscreen feature adds convenience for certain tasks and its release date being in March 2022 might indicate slightly older technology compared to the Jumper released in January 2023.

The Dell Inspiron 15 3525 is good for general use, while the Jumper 14" Laptop is poor.
The Dell Inspiron 15 3525 boasts a stronger CPU and larger screen which is beneficial for multitasking and media consumption, but it is heavier and thicker which affects portability compared to the lighter and slimmer Jumper 14" Laptop. While the Jumper has more RAM which is good for general use, its lower-tier CPU might not handle demanding tasks as well, and it offers less storage, indicating a compromise between performance and portability.

The Dell Inspiron 15 3525 is only fair for engineering and design, while the Jumper 14" Laptop is poor.
The Dell Inspiron 15 3525 offers better suitability for engineering and design due to its superior AMD Ryzen 5 processor and Vega 7 GPU, which outmatch the Jumper's Intel Celeron and UHD Graphics 600, providing stronger performance for computationally intensive tasks. Additionally, the Dell's higher RAM capacity and better screen quality with an IPS display ensure smoother multitasking and clearer visuals, which are crucial for such applications, though the Jumper does offer greater portability due to its smaller size and lower weight.

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. Many of its slightly higher-end rivals have to be on sale (and frequently are) to match it on price, but the Inspiron 15 (3525) is outclassed even by some similarly priced options, making it a difficult recommendation."

"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."
