The Jumper 14" Laptop has a better screen than the Maypug 15" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Jumper 14" Laptop's screen, while not top-of-the-line, provides sufficient resolution and brightness for everyday tasks like browsing and office work, which makes it acceptable for general use. However, for engineering and design, this laptop's limited color gamut means less accurate color representation, which is less ideal for professional creative work. As for gaming and 3D applications, the lower refresh rate of the Jumper hinders the smoothness and responsiveness crucial for these activities, resulting in a subpar experience compared to laptops with higher refresh rate displays.

The Jumper 14" Laptop and Maypug 15" Laptop are both poor for gaming and AI.
The Jumper 14" Laptop and the Maypug 15" Laptop are poorly suited for gaming and 3D purposes due to their limited GPU capabilities, with both housing Intel UHD Graphics paired with modest Intel Celeron processors. Additionally, they have standard screen refresh rates at 60Hz, without the higher refresh rates preferred for smooth gaming experiences, and the screen resolutions are not as high as those found on dedicated gaming laptops, with the Maypug having a notably lower resolution, impacting overall screen quality.

The Jumper 14" Laptop and Maypug 15" Laptop are both poor for engineering and design.
The Jumper 14" Laptop's limited RAM and basic Intel Celeron J4105 CPU paired with a weaker Intel UHD Graphics 600 make it ill-suited for demanding engineering software; its screen, while full HD, offers only moderate color coverage, further reducing its suitability for design work.
