The LG Gram 16 has a better screen than the Jumper 16" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Jumper's fair screen quality for general use reflects its adequate resolution and brightness, but it may not have the crisp, vibrant display of higher-end models. While the screen is serviceable for engineering and design, professionals may find the color representation lacking due to limited color gamut coverage. For gaming and 3D applications, the lower refresh rate hinders performance, making it less suitable for fast-paced visuals despite acceptable resolution and panel technology.

"The LG Gram 16 is a lightweight device with stability issues. The LG Gram 16Z90Q with a Core i7-1260P is made with portability in mind and places less of a focus on users with high demands on performance. The compact and light chassis is particularly practical when you are on the go. The device is not only comfortably small and lightweight, it also boasts a great battery life. When connected to mains, on the other hand, the 16-inch device is rather disappointing. The standard cooling mode causes extreme volatility in terms of CPU, SSD and iGPU performance. The meager stability of the chassis may also put off some potential buyers."
