If you're looking for better performance, especially for demanding tasks like engineering or gaming, the HP Envy 17 with its higher processing power and more memory is a strong choice, albeit at a higher price. On the other hand, the Jumper 16" Laptop is more budget-friendly but comes with less storage and a less powerful processor, making it suitable for basic tasks like web browsing, office applications, and media consumption. The HP also boasts a larger display, although both have similar screen resolutions. However, the Jumper is lighter and may be favored for portability. Each has its own operating system version and connectivity options, so consider what devices you need to connect to and what software you plan to run. The HP Envy's extra features and capabilities come with some tradeoff in portability and price compared to the more basic, but lighter and cheaper Jumper. Give Feedback

The HP Envy 17 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the Jumper 16" Laptop is poor.
The HP Envy 17 offers better gaming and 3D performance due to its more capable Iris Xe graphics card compared to the Jumper 16" Laptop's weaker UHD Graphics 600. Additionally, the HP has a higher screen quality and refresh rate, which provides a smoother and more immersive experience, whereas the Jumper's screen, despite having a slightly higher resolution, doesn't match up in terms of gaming performance.

The HP Envy 17 has a better screen than the Jumper 16" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The HP Envy 17's higher resolution and brightness provide clarity and comfort for tasks like browsing and video streaming, making it suitable for general use, while its wider color gamut supports precise color work in engineering and design. However, for gaming and 3D applications, its likely lower refresh rate in comparison to gaming-specific laptops hampers smooth motion representation. The Jumper 16" Laptop, with a fair screen quality across various tasks, offers a balance suitable for daily activities and casual design work, but its screen characteristics don't quite meet the high refresh rate needs of intense gaming or 3D rendering.
