The Acer Predator Triton 300 is usually less expensive, with solid performance for general use, engineering, and gaming thanks to its Intel processor and Nvidia graphics, but it has a shorter battery life. The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 costs a bit more, offering stronger performance particularly for 3D and machine learning tasks, powered by an AMD Ryzen processor and a superior Nvidia graphics card. Additionally, the G15 has a longer battery life and a higher resolution screen, which makes it great for detailed visual tasks. Yet, the G15 has a larger and heavier power brick, slightly affecting its portability. Both are equipped with 16GB RAM and are highly suitable for intensive gaming, but for extended unplugged usage, the G15 has a distinct advantage. Give Feedback

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."

"As long as you're aware of the fact that the GeForce RTX 3080 laptop version can only unfold its potential to a limited extent due to Asus's low TDP setting and that it can be slower than a fast RTX 3070 laptop, the ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503Q cuts a fine figure. One of the biggest highlights turns out to be the WQHD panel, since it attracts customers with 165 Hz, relatively fast response times, FreeSync, and good color-space coverage. Other selling points are the surprisingly rich sound, the long battery life, and the sleek design. In terms of looks, the white edition stands out nicely from the competition."
