The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 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 screen may suffice for tasks like browsing and video streaming, but its limited color range could hinder the detailed work required in engineering/design, and its slower refresh rate may not keep up with the demands of 3D gaming. The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 offers a high-resolution display with vibrant colors that will benefit precision in engineering and design work, as well as providing a pleasant general-use experience. However, like the Jumper, the Microsoft model may fall short for gaming or 3D work due to a refresh rate that isn't as high as dedicated gaming laptops.

Andreas Osthoff | March 2022
"The new Surface Laptop Studio with its foldable display is supposed to replace the old Surface Book and the overall impression is good after our review. The build quality and the materials are top-notch, the performance utilization of the two components is solid and the device does not show any major flaws in terms of display or speakers, either. The folding mechanism leaves a sold impression as well, but it remains to be seen how it will hold up over the years. The so-called presentation mode is also not ideal since it covers the whole keyboard."
