When comparing the Jumper 16" Laptop with the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 17", consider that the Jumper is much more affordable but comes with limitations in performance due to a less powerful processor and graphics, and has less memory and storage. It's lighter and more suitable for basic tasks like web browsing, document editing, and light media consumption. The Lenovo IdeaPad, while more expensive, boasts a stronger processor, better graphics capabilities, more memory and storage, and a larger screen, making it better suited for more demanding tasks including multitasking, and light gaming or creative workflows. Despite this, the Lenovo is also slightly heavier, which may affect its portability. The choice ultimately depends on your need for performance versus your budget constraints. Give Feedback

"The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 17" defies expectations. Indeed, it is just a minor upgrade over last year. However, this doesn’t make the laptop any less terrific. It’s got a great performance, courtesy of the Ryzen 5x25U processors. In addition, you get a pretty good battery life. Perhaps, the 2-hour decrease in video playback, compared to last year is not great, but still, 10 hours of Web browsing and 7 hours of video playback is okay for 17-inch notebooks."
