When choosing between the Jumper 14" Laptop and the MSI GF63 Thin, consider that the MSI offers better performance due to its Intel i5 processor and dedicated Nvidia graphics card, which makes it suitable for gaming, 3D applications, and heavier engineering software. However, it is heavier and might have a shorter battery life, which could affect portability. On the other hand, the Jumper comes with a lesser-known processor and integrated graphics, which means it works fine for general use but may struggle with more demanding tasks. It's lighter and likely has a longer battery life, making it more portable and convenient for day-to-day carry and light tasks. Both have the same screen size and resolution, and are in a similar price range, so your decision should be guided by the performance needs and how you value portability. Give Feedback

The Jumper 14" Laptop has a better screen than the MSI GF63 Thin for software development.
For general use, both the Jumper and MSI GF63 may have lower-resolution displays or lack brightness, making them less vibrant and clear compared to laptops with higher-quality panels. In engineering and design, their screens might not cover a wide range of color gamuts, resulting in less accurate color reproduction which is crucial for detailed visual work. For gaming and 3D applications, the absence of high refresh rates can lead to less smooth visuals, while an average resolution and panel type might not provide the crispness and viewing angles expected in high-end gaming laptops.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers MSI GF63 Thin to be only fair for gaming and AI, while the Jumper 14" Laptop is poor.
The Jumper 14" Laptop operates with a weaker Intel Celeron processor and integrated Intel UHD Graphics, which are not equipped for the demands of gaming and 3D applications; on the other hand, the MSI GF63 Thin features a more capable Intel i5 processor and Nvidia GTX 1650 Max-Q dedicated GPU, offering markedly better performance for these tasks. Both laptops have similar screen refresh rates, but the better GPU in the MSI model is the primary factor that makes it more suitable for gaming and 3D content.

How the Jumper 14" Laptop and the MSI GF63 Thin 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."
"If you leave aside the meagre port selection (no card reader, no DisplayPort, no Thunderbolt 3 or USB 3.1 Gen2), the fan control that could be improved (idle mode!) and the relatively dark and slow display, the MSI GF63 Thin 9SC does not have any major weaknesses. The 15-inch gamer is compact, has a low weight and offers a good price-to-performance ratio, which should please gamers that are looking for both a portable and an affordable gaming notebook. Input devices, battery life, case quality and performance are all appropriate for this purchase price."
