Based on your criteria, if price is a key factor and you're looking for a budget-friendly option, the Jumper 16" Laptop is considerably less expensive than the Dell XPS 13 Plus. The Jumper has a larger screen, which could be beneficial for multitasking and visibility, but this also makes it less portable. It has modest performance suitable for basic tasks, but it may not handle intensive applications very well. On the other hand, the Dell XPS 13 Plus is a higher-end model with superior performance that can handle demanding software and multitasking, making it well-suited for engineering and other performance-intensive tasks. However, its higher cost, smaller screen, and potentially lower battery life due to the more powerful hardware may not be ideal if those aspects are less important to you. Choose the Dell for superior performance and compactness, and the Jumper if you prefer a larger screen, a heavier device, and significant savings. Give Feedback

The Dell XPS 13 Plus is very good for general use, while the Jumper 16" Laptop is poor.
The Dell XPS 13 Plus outperforms the Jumper 16" Laptop for general use due to its significantly higher quality CPU and RAM, better screen quality, portability, and longer battery life, all of which are very important factors for such tasks. While the Jumper has a larger screen and somewhat important features like more storage slots and a number pad on the keyboard, its lower performance in critical areas like processing power, memory, and display clarity make it less suitable for general use compared to the Dell.

The Dell XPS 13 Plus is very good for engineering and design, while the Jumper 16" Laptop is poor.
The Dell XPS 13 Plus is superior for engineering and design due to its powerful Intel i7 CPU, abundant RAM, and high-quality OLED screen, which are crucial for demanding applications and detailed visual work. The Jumper 16" Laptop falls short in these areas with a weaker Celeron CPU, less RAM, and a lower-quality IPS screen, making it inadequate for intensive engineering and design tasks.

The Dell XPS 13 Plus has a better screen than the Jumper 16" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Dell XPS 13 Plus boasts higher resolution and brightness, making it excellent for general use and engineering where detail and color accuracy are key; however, its lower refresh rate hinders performance for gaming and 3D applications. The Jumper 16" Laptop, with fair screen quality, supports adequate visibility for general tasks and some level of precision for design work but lacks the high refresh rate gamers need. Even with fair resolution, the Jumper's overall screen capabilities don't match the demands of high-end gaming or professional design and engineering tasks.

"The XPS 13 Plus is powerful, but has its drawbacks. Dell did not only update the processor generation, but also decided to offer two completely different models from now on. The XPS 13 Plus gets the faster Intel Alder Lake-P chips, and the Core i7-1260P in our review unit offers good performance figures. However, the device once again shows the problems of the current Intel CPUs, because the high performance requires a lot of power. This affects the battery runtime as well as temperatures, so the new model (even with the Optimized power profile) is louder than the older model."
