The Jumper 14" Laptop is a more budget-friendly option that is going to be noticeably less costly than the LG Gram 17. The Jumper's smaller size and lighter weight make it more portable, which could be beneficial if you travel often or have to carry the laptop around regularly. However, its lower price comes with compromises in terms of performance and features. It has less storage and memory, a less powerful processor, and a lower resolution compared to the LG Gram 17. The LG Gram 17, while more expensive, offers significantly better performance, a larger and higher-resolution screen, more memory and storage, and likely a longer-lasting battery. If performance, a larger display, and battery longevity are critical for tasks such as professional work, video editing, or multi-tasking, then the LG Gram 17 may be the better choice, despite its higher price and slightly less portability.

The LG Gram 17 is very good for general use, while the Jumper 14" Laptop is poor.
The LG Gram 17, with its robust Intel i7 processor and ample 32GB of RAM, outperforms the Jumper 14" Laptop's Celeron J4105 and 12GB of RAM, making it very suitable for a range of demanding applications, while the Jumper is just fair for general use. Additionally, the LG Gram's superior screen quality with higher brightness and color coverage, along with its longer battery life and lightweight build, contributes to its high general use rating, contrasting with the Jumper's lower screen quality and battery life.

The LG Gram 17 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the Jumper 14" Laptop is poor.
The Jumper 14” Laptop has a basic Intel UHD Graphics 600 GPU which is not adequate for demanding gaming and 3D tasks, whereas the LG Gram 17 comes with the significantly more capable Intel Iris Xe graphics, suitable for more intensive applications. Although both have similar screen refresh rates, the LG Gram 17's larger screen size and higher resolution offer a better gaming and 3D experience.

The LG Gram 17 is very good for engineering and design, while the Jumper 14" Laptop is poor.
The LG Gram 17 is better suited for engineering and design work because it has a more powerful Intel i7 processor, more RAM, and a superior integrated Intel Iris Xe GPU, which are crucial for handling complex calculations and rendering in such tasks, as well as a high-quality, larger screen that enhances detail and workspace. In contrast, the Jumper 14" Laptop's Intel Celeron processor, lower RAM, and weaker Intel UHD Graphics are less capable of supporting the high demands of engineering applications, and its smaller screen with lower color coverage and brightness provides a less optimal viewing experience for detailed work.

The LG Gram 17 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's moderate screen resolution and brightness provide an acceptable viewing experience for everyday tasks and basic engineering applications but its limited color range and slow refresh rate hinder performance in detailed design work and fast-paced 3D environments. The LG Gram 17's higher resolution and better brightness contribute to clearer and more vibrant imagery for both general and professional engineering use, yet like the Jumper, it falls short for gaming and 3D applications due to a less than optimal refresh rate. For customers prioritizing design work, the LG Gram 17's superior color accuracy makes it a more suitable option, whereas both laptops are not ideal for gaming enthusiasts seeking fluid motion graphics.

"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 LG Gram 17 is a light office laptop with a large display and great battery life. The newest incarnation of the Gram 17 can be classified as a model update. LG uses the predecessor's compact, light magnesium case along with an identical port configuration (including 2x Thunderbolt 4) and keyboard. Changes can be found in the hardware. With the Gram 17 (2022), LG offers a light (approx. 1,350 g), mobile work device - and finally with a matte display."
