If you're on a tight budget, the Jumper 16" Laptop is significantly more affordable than the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 and could be a suitable choice for basic tasks with its larger screen. However, with the Surface Laptop Go 2, you're paying for a machine with better performance, which is more suitable for multitasking and more demanding applications, thanks to its advanced processor. It's also more portable due to its smaller size and lighter weight, making it a better option if you need to carry your laptop around frequently. Additionally, the Surface Laptop Go 2 has a higher-resolution camera and a touchscreen, features that the Jumper laptop lacks, adding to its versatility and user experience. If you prioritize performance, portability, and more premium features, the additional cost of the Surface Laptop Go 2 could be justified. Give Feedback

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 is good for general use, while the Jumper 16" Laptop is poor.
The Jumper 16" Laptop is equipped with a less powerful Intel Celeron processor and only 4GB of RAM, which makes it less suitable for multitasking and demanding applications, contributing to its poor performance for general use. In contrast, the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 includes a more robust Intel i5 processor and twice the RAM at 8GB, along with better screen quality, portability owing to lighter weight, and a higher-quality build, leading to its fair evaluation for general use.

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 is only fair for engineering and design, while the Jumper 16" Laptop is poor.
The Jumper 16" Laptop is ill-suited for engineering and design because it has a lower-end CPU, less RAM, and a weak integrated GPU, which are all critical for such tasks, while the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2, with a better CPU, double the RAM, and a more powerful integrated GPU, offers fair capability for these uses. Furthermore, the Surface Laptop Go 2's superior screen quality, including higher brightness and better color accuracy, is advantageous for design work; though it is smaller and less portable, it boasts a higher quality construction and a quieter operation.

Andreas Osthoff | August 2022
"The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 review is a compact companion with old hardware. The Surface Laptop Go 2 shows some weaknesses. Microsoft didn't really develop the second generation of the Surface Laptop Go 2 any further but has only equipped it with a slightly more powerful Core i5 processor. However, the performance still remains at a fairly low level overall, but for many users, it definitely should still be sufficient for everyday tasks."
