The Jumper 16" Laptop being more budget-friendly, is suitable if you want to save money and mainly perform regular tasks such as web browsing, office applications, and media consumption. The LG Gram 17, on the other hand, offers a larger screen, typically better performance, and is usually lighter, which makes it more portable and suitable for more demanding tasks or for users who need a larger display for multitasking. However, if a lighter and more premium device is not a priority, the Jumper may suffice for your needs. Keep in mind that the LG Gram may also offer better battery life due to often having more efficient components. If your work involves travelling or high-end tasks like video editing, the LG Gram 17 might justify its higher cost; otherwise, the Jumper could be a cost-effective choice. Give Feedback

The LG Gram 17 has a better screen than the Jumper 16" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The LG Gram 17's higher resolution and brighter display ensure crisper text and more vivid images for general use and detailed work in engineering and design, while its wider color gamut reproduces colors more accurately, crucial for tasks demanding color precision. The Jumper 16" Laptop, while adequate for day-to-day tasks, falls short in color reproduction and brightness, making it less ideal for professional design where fine detail and color accuracy are paramount. Both laptops, however, lack the high refresh rates preferred for smooth 3D rendering and gaming, which can diminish the overall experience in those activities.

"The LG Gram 17 is a light office laptop with a large display and great battery life. The newest incarnation of the Gram 17 can be classified as a model update. LG uses the predecessor's compact, light magnesium case along with an identical port configuration (including 2x Thunderbolt 4) and keyboard. Changes can be found in the hardware. With the Gram 17 (2022), LG offers a light (approx. 1,350 g), mobile work device - and finally with a matte display."
