The Lenovo Flex 5 16 has a better screen than the Jumper 16" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the Lenovo Flex 5 16 likely has a higher resolution and brighter, more vibrant screen compared to the Jumper 16", making text sharper and colors more vivid. In engineering and design where precise colors matter, the Lenovo's better coverage of color gamuts such as DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB ensures more accurate color representation. However, both laptops fall short for 3D and gaming because their screens have lower refresh rates, which means less smooth visuals and potentially more motion blur during fast-paced scenes.

"The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 is a solidly equipped, 2-in-1 in the lower price segment. Performance is definitely sufficient for everyday tasks and in tests the battery proved itself to be very economical. That aside, there is a lot of standard fare on show and a search for real highlights ends in vain. The low color coverage and reflective display can be avoided by going for an optional 2.5K display but this also presumably results in poorer battery life. The cooling uses only one fan and leads to a raised temperature on one side of the device under load. Additionally, there is very loud fan noise, also under load or when gaming. On top of that, we also occasionally noticed electronic noises."
