When choosing between the Acer Predator Triton 300 and the ASUS ROG Flow X13, consider the ASUS if you need higher performance for 3D, machine learning, or engineering tasks as it has a more powerful GPU and CPU, a higher resolution touchscreen with a taller aspect ratio, and longer battery life, making it better for intensive workloads and creative tasks. However, it is more expensive and has less general use performance than the Acer. The Acer, being significantly less expensive, could be a better choice if you prioritize value and require a machine that's capable for general use and gaming, with a larger screen and good heat management, although it has a lower battery life and performance. If portability is key, the ASUS is lighter and more compact, and it also offers a better keyboard and display quality, but the Acer is more suitable for intensive gaming with hardware built to support such use. Both laptops offer different port configurations and aesthetics that may also influence your decision based on your specific needs for connectivity and personal taste. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Flow X13 has a better screen than the Acer Predator Triton 300 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the Acer Predator Triton 300 provides a satisfactory display experience with decent resolution and brightness, making it a solid choice for everyday tasks like browsing and video streaming.

Mike Wobker | December 2020
"In our particular review configuration, the Acer Predator Triton 300 turned out to be a fairly powerful gaming notebook. Both CPU and GPU performance were at a high level, and the aluminum case turned out to be fairly robust. Only the display lid could have been a bit more robust. For customers on a budget that do not mind tinkering with the device’s fan management the Acer Predator Triton 300 can be worth a closer look."

"The Asus ROG Flow X13 is not an off-the-shelf convertible. This quickly becomes clear when you take a closer look at the technical specs. The AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS is a state-of-the-art SoC with 8 cores and 16 threads, which also makes the 2-in-1 interesting as a work device. With 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD, gamers are also well taken care of. The dedicated Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q fits well into the overall concept and ensures a solid 3D performance. With the eGPU dock, which is equipped with a GeForce RTX 3080, the small convertible transforms into a full-fledged desktop replacement in terms of performance."
