The Dell Latitude 14 7490, while being less expensive, comes with a higher storage capacity, more RAM, and a more powerful Intel i7 processor, which makes it suitable for intensive tasks and multitasking. Its graphics are adequate for general use, but it may not handle 3D or gaming as well as a laptop with a dedicated graphics card. On the other hand, the Jumper 14" Laptop has a lower midrange price but is still more costly, and it offers less storage and RAM along with an Intel Celeron processor, which is more suited for basic tasks. The Jumper is lighter and thinner, which enhances its portability. Both have 14" screens, but the Dell has a larger battery, which should provide longer battery life. If your priority is performance for tasks like engineering or intensive software, and you're okay with a bit less portability, the Dell Latitude would be practical. However, if you prioritize a lighter device for basic tasks and are willing to invest a bit more, consider the Jumper. Give Feedback

The Dell Latitude 14 7490 is good for general use, while the Jumper 14" Laptop is poor.
The Dell Latitude 14 7490 outperforms the Jumper 14" Laptop for general use largely due to its superior CPU and RAM, which offer better multitasking and faster performance, essential for varied daily activities. While both feature similar screen sizes with good quality displays, the Latitude 14 7490's higher battery capacity and durable build further enhance its suitability for general use, contrasting the Jumper's weaker battery life and build quality.

The Dell Latitude 14 7490 is only fair for engineering and design, while the Jumper 14" Laptop is poor.
The Dell Latitude 14 7490 is better suited for engineering and design use because it has a more powerful Intel i7 processor, double the RAM, and a higher quality GPU compared to the Jumper 14" Laptop's lower-tier Intel Celeron processor, less RAM, and inferior GPU. Additionally, the Dell's screen has higher brightness, better colors, and a higher contrast ratio, making it more suitable for design tasks where visual accuracy is important, whereas the Jumper's screen quality and performance are less capable for such demands.

The Dell Latitude 14 7490 has a better screen than the Jumper 14" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Dell Latitude 7490's screen provides a balance of decent resolution and brightness, which makes it suitable for general tasks and detailed engineering work, but its average refresh rate and color spectrum limit the quality for gaming and 3D applications. The Jumper's screen matches general office work standards and tolerable color accuracy for engineering and design, but lacks the advanced color gamut support and high refresh rate necessary for high-end 3D graphics environments. For both laptops, their suitability for gaming and 3D suffers due to lower refresh rates, which are crucial for smooth and responsive visual experiences.

The Dell Latitude 14 7490 and Jumper 14" Laptop are both poor for gaming and AI.
The Dell Latitude 14 7490 offers fair gaming and 3D performance due to its better Intel UHD Graphics 620 and slightly stronger processor, while the Jumper 14" Laptop's poorer gaming and 3D capabilities stem from its weaker Intel UHD Graphics 600 and less robust CPU. Both laptops have similar screen refresh rates and screen quality, but the GPU plays the most crucial role in determining their gaming and 3D performance.

"The Dell Latitude 7490's got the speed you need (and then some), a keyboard that's comfortable enough for writing all day long and a battery that supports a full 8-hour workday. If only the display were brighter and it managed heat better. If you need every minute of battery life you can get, the extended-battery version of the Lenovo ThinkPad T480 lasts 8 hours longer than the Latitude 7490, but its display is much less colorful."

"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."
