The HP Envy 17, being more expensive, offers higher storage and memory, a powerful Intel i7 processor, and a larger, high-quality 17.3-inch display, which makes it well-suited for performance-intensive tasks like engineering, video editing, and gaming. It is heavier and less portable, however, which might be a downside for those who travel frequently. The Jumper 14" Laptop is more affordable, with a modest Intel Celeron processor and smaller storage and memory, suitable for general use like web browsing and document editing. It's more lightweight and portable, but not ideal for heavy software or gaming due to its lower performance capabilities. Give Feedback

The HP Envy 17 is good for general use, while the Jumper 14" Laptop is poor.
The HP Envy 17 provides a solid performance for general use with a powerful CPU, plentiful RAM, and a quality screen, but it is less portable and has shorter battery life compared to lighter options. On the other hand, the Jumper 14" Laptop offers decent performance with adequate CPU and RAM for basic tasks, enhanced portability due to its lighter weight and smaller size, but has a lower quality screen and reduced battery life, making it less ideal for extended or demanding use.

The HP Envy 17 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the Jumper 14" Laptop is poor.
The HP Envy 17 is better suited for gaming and 3D tasks compared to the Jumper 14" Laptop, mainly due to the Envy's more powerful Intel i7 CPU and its integrated Iris Xe graphics, which are superior to the Jumper's Intel Celeron CPU and its basic Intel UHD Graphics 600. While both laptops have similar screen refresh rates and IPS display quality, the better GPU in the HP Envy 17 provides it with an edge for more graphically demanding tasks.

The HP Envy 17 is good for engineering and design, while the Jumper 14" Laptop is poor.
The HP Envy 17 is better suited for engineering and design due to its higher-performing Intel i7 processor, more RAM, and Iris Xe graphics, whereas the Jumper 14" Laptop has a lower-tier Celeron processor, less RAM, and weaker UHD Graphics 600 which don't support intensive tasks as well. Additionally, the HP has a larger, higher-quality screen which is crucial for design work, although it is less portable and noisier compared to the more compact and quieter Jumper laptop.

The HP Envy 17 has a better screen than the Jumper 14" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The HP Envy 17's display offers high resolution and brightness, suitable for tasks like browsing and video streaming, contributing to its good screen quality for general use; its wider color gamut meets the precision required in engineering and design. The Jumper 14" Laptop provides an adequate display that meets basic expectations for clarity and usability, making it fair for everyday tasks and professional design work, albeit not exceptional. Both models, however, have lower refresh rates, which is less ideal for gaming and 3D applications where smooth motion and fast response times are crucial for an immersive experience.

"In our test, the HP Envy 17-cr0079ng presents itself as a balanced multimedia laptop. Thanks to its solid CPU performance and dedicated entry-level GeForce, it can also be used for playing video games, as long as the demands aren't too high. Those looking for more can find it in the Dell XPS 17 for example."
"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."
