Consider the Jumper 16" Laptop if you're looking for a budget-friendly laptop for general use, with a large screen and good battery life. Its Intel Celeron processor and basic integrated graphics, however, are not ideal for demanding tasks like gaming or engineering software. On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion 5 15" is pricier but offers significantly higher performance with an AMD Ryzen processor and RTX graphics, suitable for gaming, 3D applications, and engineering simulations. It also boasts a higher resolution display and a faster refresh rate. The tradeoff here is the Legion is heavier and may have a shorter battery life compared to more basic laptops. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion 5 15" is very good for engineering and design, while the Jumper 16" Laptop is poor.
The Jumper 16" Laptop has a less capable Celeron processor and basic integrated graphics, making it poor for engineering and design, while the Lenovo Legion 5 15" comes with a powerful Ryzen 7 processor and RTX graphics, offering very good performance for such tasks. Additionally, the Legion's higher-quality screen and more abundant RAM support complex visual work, which the Jumper's lower screen quality and limited RAM do not sustain well.

The Lenovo Legion 5 15" has a better screen than the Jumper 16" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
If you often use your laptop for everyday activities such as browsing the internet or working with office applications, the Lenovo Legion 5's superior panel type, higher resolution, and greater brightness will make for a more pleasant and crisp viewing experience. For engineering and design work where color accuracy is key, the Legion's wider color gamut coverage ensures more precise color representation, essential for professional-grade visuals. However, for gaming and 3D applications, although the Legion's good resolution and panel type contribute positively, it falls short on refresh rate, which is crucial for smooth motion and a competitive edge in fast-paced games.

"The Lenovo Legion 5 15 is an affordable gaming laptop with a lot of power. The new AMD processor Ryzen 7 5800H offers plenty of performance and it is also very efficient. The combination with the fast 130W version of the GeForce RTX 3060 ensures high gaming performance. We also like the fast 165 Hz display with the 1080p resolution. The automatic graphics switching causes some problems with stutters, which are very annoying. If you do not need long battery runtimes, you should definitely deactivate the hybrid graphics mode in Lenovo's Vantage app. The Legion 5 15 is never silent."
