If you need a laptop with better graphics and processing power for gaming or resource-intensive tasks, the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 has a dedicated graphics card and a more capable processor, but it's heavier and less portable than the Jumper 14" Laptop. Conversely, if you prioritize a lighter, more compact laptop for everyday tasks and portability, the Jumper could suit you better, although its performance for demanding applications will be lower due to a less powerful processor and integrated graphics.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 is good for engineering and design, while the Jumper 14" Laptop is poor.
The Jumper 14" Laptop is less suited for engineering and design due to its basic Intel Celeron processor, integrated graphics, and limited RAM, which struggle with demanding applications, while the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3's robust AMD Ryzen processor, dedicated Nvidia RTX GPU, and ample RAM cater to the heavy computational loads typical in these fields. Additionally, the IdeaPad's superior screen quality with higher brightness and color space coverage offer clearer and more accurate visuals essential for design work, though it is heavier, which slightly reduces portability compared to the lighter Jumper laptop.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 has a better screen than the Jumper 14" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Jumper 14" Laptop's screen may not be as vibrant or sharp, affecting the experience during general use and tasks requiring precise color and detail, like engineering and design. The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3, with a better blend of resolution, brightness, and color representation, provides a superior viewing experience for these same tasks, making it a preferred choice. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both laptops fall short due to lower refresh rates, which can lead to less fluid motion and a compromised gaming experience.

"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."
"The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 is one of the most powerful RTX 3050 Ti laptops. If you disregard the mediocre quality of the case in terms of the material and workmanship, Lenovo has created a successful budget gaming laptop with the IdeaPad Gaming. Thanks to high TDPs and constant performance development, the Core i5-12500H and GeForce RTX 3050 Ti are able to show their full power, while in contrast, the (mostly slower) competitors deliver a better battery life. However, hardly any of the alternative laptops are able to reach the image quality of the Gaming 3. Most of the competitors are left behind in terms of the color space and brightness."
