If you prioritize performance for tasks like intensive engineering or 3D modeling, the Dell Inspiron 15 3525 with its more powerful AMD Ryzen processor will handle these demands better. The tradeoff comes with higher cost, less portability due to greater weight, and likely shorter battery life due to the more powerful components. If your focus is on general use like web browsing, word processing, and media consumption, and you value a larger screen, the Jumper 16" Laptop provides a bigger display and is lighter on the wallet while also being lighter in weight, which enhances portability, but has less storage capacity and a less powerful processor, making it less suitable for resource-intensive applications.

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."
