If affordability is a top priority and you only need a laptop for everyday tasks like browsing, document editing, and video streaming, then the Jumper 16" Laptop might be sufficient for your needs and will save you money. On the other hand, if you require high performance for gaming, 3D modeling, machine learning, or other demanding tasks, the MSI GE66 Raider, despite its higher cost, will offer much stronger capabilities. The Raider is also likely to have a shorter battery life and be less portable due to its focus on power over efficiency. Keep in mind, for heavy-duty tasks, investing more in the MSI may provide a return in productivity and experience, while the Jumper is more suited for casual use. Give Feedback

The MSI GE66 Raider 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 16" laptop's screen offers enough clarity and brightness for everyday tasks and basic engineering work, but its color range may not be wide enough for professionals who need accurate color reproduction, and its lower refresh rate can hinder the smooth visuals required for high-speed gaming and 3D rendering. The MSI GE66 Raider's screen excels in delivering sharp, bright images with a wide color gamut, making it ideal for engineers and designers needing precise color work, but like the Jumper, it falls short for gaming and 3D due to a less optimal refresh rate. Overall, the MSI GE66 Raider provides a notable improvement in screen quality for general use and professional design, but neither laptop is optimized for high refresh rate-dependent activities like gaming or 3D animation.

Patrick Schüdzig | June 2022
"The MSI Raider GE66 12UHS notebook passes with flying colors. The GE66 is a high-end notebook with strong performance. The keyboard and trackpad are still very good and score well with precise inputs as well as high build quality. Thanks to a new liquid metal cooling solution, the Intel Core i9 12900HK brings a performance increase of around 50 percent over the predecessor's Intel Core i9 10980HK. The installed graphics card in our device delivers up to 30 percent higher frame rates than the RTX 2070 Super in the MSI GE66 10SFS."
