The Jumper 16" Laptop, being much less expensive, offers basic computing with a large 16-inch screen, adequate for general use such as browsing and office applications. However, its lower-cost hardware might struggle with more intensive tasks such as engineering software, 3D modeling, or gaming. In contrast, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 13" is pricier but comes with higher performance capabilities suitable for demanding tasks and is also considerably more portable due to its smaller size and lighter weight, making it a stronger candidate for mobile professionals and students who need to run complex applications or prefer a premium build quality. Each device serves different needs, so consider what's more crucial: saving money with the Jumper or investing in the higher performance and portability of the Surface Laptop. Give Feedback

CNET
Lori Grunin | October 2022
"The Surface Laptop 5 remains afloat as a solid machine. It's just not one that stands out in any particular way. Just like the last one. The biggest upgrade were some new components, but they perform in the same range as other laptops with them, and frequently at the bottom of that range. I suspect Microsoft's settings are very conservative to help keep cooling and battery life within reason in the older chassis design."
