The Acer Predator Triton 300 offers portability and decent performance for general use and gaming, being lightweight and having a smaller screen size. However, the ASUS ROG Strix G16, while heavier and less portable, delivers better performance, particularly for 3D work, machine learning, and more demanding engineering tasks. It also has longer battery life, a slightly larger screen with a higher resolution and refresh rate, and improved color space coverage, which is better for creative work. Both laptops are similarly priced and come with equivalent storage and RAM, so if you prioritize performance and battery life over portability, the ASUS is the better choice. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Strix G16 is very good for engineering and design, while the Acer Predator Triton 300 is good.
The ASUS ROG Strix G16 is very good for engineering and design because it features a newer CPU and a more powerful GPU than the Acer Predator Triton 300, enhancing its ability to handle demanding tasks, as well as a higher resolution and screen aspect ratio which can be beneficial for design work. While both laptops are equipped with sufficient RAM and quality IPS displays, the Triton 300 is lighter and more portable, but the Strix G16 counters with a significantly superior CPU and GPU, which justifies its heavier weight and potentially makes it a better fit for more intensive engineering and design use.

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."

"With the mobile Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, the Asus ROG Stix G16 hits the sweet spot between performance and cooling. The G16 also does not have to shy away from direct comparison with its supposedly stronger family member, the ROG Strix Scar 18 with its RTX 4090, as most benchmarks of the two laptops are very close to each other. Moreover, the G16 should be significantly cheaper. Depending on the supplier, the price difference here could be almost US$ 2,000. In the 2023 model series, Asus has significantly leveled out the differences between the two high-end lines."
