The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition has a better screen than the Acer Predator Triton 300 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, and software development.
The Acer Predator Triton 300 and ASUS ROG Strix G15 both feature panels that offer satisfactory resolution and brightness, making them suitable for everyday tasks like browsing, watching videos, and document editing. For engineering and design, these laptops display a wide range of colors accurately, essential for tasks that demand precise color representation, but their mediocre coverage of professional color gamuts may not satisfy the most color-critical work. However, for gaming and 3D applications, where a high refresh rate ensures smoother motion, both laptops fall short, as their screens don't refresh as quickly as specialized gaming models, which might affect fast-paced visual performance.

How the Acer Predator Triton 300 and the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition compare to other laptops
"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 Strix G15, as the first in a line of "AMD Advantage"-branded notebooks, is a statement that yes, you can get a premium AMD gaming notebook. Maybe you can't have it all, but you can get pretty close. The ROG Strix G15's combination of the AMD Ryzen 5900HX and Radeon RX 6800M, as well as other technologies that take advantage of them, make a potent, thin gaming machine. Powerful Dolby Atmos speakers and long battery life when you aren't gaming are nice bonuses."
