The Acer Predator Triton 300 has a larger screen and is less expensive but is also heavier and has slightly less battery life, making it more suited to stationary use rather than frequent travel. It is very capable for general use, gaming, and engineering tasks, but won't match the latest performance levels. The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is more portable due to its lighter weight and has a higher-resolution touchscreen providing greater clarity and an edge in tasks that benefit from a superior CPU and GPU, such as 3D rendering and machine learning. It is more expensive and may be more future-proof, but keep in mind that it has a smaller screen which might not be as comfortable for prolonged use or multitasking. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 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, a laptop screen that offers sharpness through higher resolution and is easily viewable in various lighting conditions due to good brightness will enhance the user experience, which both the Acer Predator Triton 300 and ASUS ROG Flow Z13 provide. In engineering and design work, accurate color representation is critical, and both laptops offer screens that cover a broad spectrum of color gamuts, ensuring that the designs and models appear true to life. However, for gaming and 3D applications where fluid motion is key, the refresh rate becomes the most important factor, and both these laptops may not satisfy the fastest motion clarity that gamers often seek in high-refresh-rate displays.

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 Z13 is a gaming tablet with powerful Alder Lake i9 CPU. The ROG Flow Z13 impresses with its good cooling. After our review, the impression is predominantly positive. Besides a very fast Alder Lake CPU and stable gaming performance, especially the cooling system is surprisingly effective and quiet. You can use the integrated speakers without any issues while gaming. The 1200p display in the 16:10 format also impresses with good color reproduction and high brightness. Since the battery runtimes aren't particularly long as it is, we wouldn't recommend the optional 4K panel."
