When considering the Jumper 14" Laptop and the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2, the Jumper generally offers more storage space and higher RAM which can lead to better multitasking capabilities. The main processor of the Surface Laptop Go 2 is more powerful, ultimately providing smoother performance for more demanding tasks and a better integrated graphics unit that can handle heavier graphical loads. The Surface also boasts a higher battery capacity for longer use on a single charge. As for displays, the Surface has a smaller, higher-resolution touchscreen with a unique aspect ratio that's great for productivity and content consumption, whereas the Jumper has a standard larger screen, but without touch functionality.

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 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 provides an adequate display for everyday tasks, with a resolution and brightness that meets the basic needs for web browsing, document editing, and video streaming. For engineering and design, however, the screen's limited color gamut may not accurately represent colors, which can be critical for precise visual work. For gaming and 3D applications, its lower refresh rate makes it less suited for the fast-paced visuals these activities often require, potentially leading to less smooth motion and slower response times in games and simulations.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 to be only fair for gaming and AI, while the Jumper 14" Laptop is poor.
The Jumper 14" Laptop is poor for gaming and 3D because it has a weaker Intel UHD Graphics 600 GPU and a low screen refresh rate of 60Hz, which aren't sufficient for demanding visual tasks. In contrast, the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 is fair for gaming and 3D, with a better Intel i5-1135G7 Iris Xe GPU and the same 60Hz refresh rate, which offers improved graphics performance suitable for less intensive games and 3D applications.

How the Jumper 14" Laptop and the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 compare to other laptops
"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 Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 review is a compact companion with old hardware. The Surface Laptop Go 2 shows some weaknesses. Microsoft didn't really develop the second generation of the Surface Laptop Go 2 any further but has only equipped it with a slightly more powerful Core i5 processor. However, the performance still remains at a fairly low level overall, but for many users, it definitely should still be sufficient for everyday tasks."
