If saving money is your top priority and your tasks are not demanding, the HP Stream offers basic features at a lower cost. However, the Jumper Laptop provides a sharper and better display quality, which might be preferable if you frequently watch videos or work with visual content. The Jumper likely has a slight edge in performance but remember that both machines are designed for light usage and won't excel in intensive tasks like gaming or heavy multitasking. Both laptops are similarly portable, but the Jumper is a bit lighter and slimmer, which could be a factor if you carry your laptop often. Give Feedback

The HP Stream 14" is only fair for general use, while the Jumper 14" Laptop is poor.
The HP Stream 14" and Jumper 14" laptops are fair for general use because they both come with limited processing power and modest RAM, which could slow down performance when multitasking or running demanding applications. The HP Stream offers a lower-resolution TN panel which may result in less vibrant colors compared to the Jumper's high-resolution IPS display, but it compensates with better battery life and portability; both laptops, however, fall short for more intensive tasks like gaming due to their basic integrated graphics.

The HP Stream 14" has a better screen than the Jumper 14" Laptop for software development, and content creation, while the Jumper 14" Laptop has a better screen for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The HP Stream 14" laptop likely has a lower resolution and dimmer screen, making it less desirable for any tasks where clarity and brightness are key, such as reading text or viewing images, which explains its poor screen quality across uses. In engineering and design, accurate color representation is crucial; therefore, the HP's screen not covering a wide color gamut such as DCI-P3 or Adobe RGB makes it less suited for these tasks. For gaming and 3D applications, a high refresh rate is critical for smooth visuals, and if the Jumper 14" laptop lacks this, it results in poor screen quality for these purposes despite its fair performance in other areas.

The HP Stream 14" and Jumper 14" Laptop are both poor for gaming and AI.
The HP Stream 14" and the Jumper 14" Laptop are both equipped with Intel UHD Graphics 600 which are not sufficiently powerful for gaming or 3D applications, and they both have screens with a refresh rate of 60Hz, which is lower than what is needed for the smooth visuals required in gaming and 3D rendering.

The Jumper 14" Laptop and HP Stream 14" are both poor for engineering and design.
The HP Stream 14" and the Jumper 14" Laptop are both inadequate for engineering and design primarily due to their Intel Celeron processors, limited RAM, and weak integrated graphics, which cannot handle the heavy computational and graphical demands of such tasks. Additionally, while they have decent portability and passable screen resolutions, the HP's inferior TN screen and Jumper's better IPS display still do not offer the high-quality visuals typically needed for design work.

How the HP Stream 14" and the Jumper 14" Laptop compare to other laptops
"With half of the main system memory and a fraction of the storage that we recommend in any budget Windows laptop, the HP Stream 14 does not impress. Perhaps it doesn't need to, depending on your reference point. For the price, you're getting a functional laptop with Windows 10, which already places the HP Stream 14 above most Chromebooks on that merit alone. Still, in this price range, you can't do much worse, but you can do better. In fact, for just $100 more, you can grab the much superior budget option, the Lenovo IdeaPad 1 14."
"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."
