Deciding between the Acer Predator Triton 300 and the ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16, consider that the Acer may be more affordable and slightly better for battery life. The Acer is also more portable and is well suited for general use and gaming. In contrast, the ASUS, with its higher-priced tag, offers significantly better performance for engineering, 3D and machine learning tasks due to a more powerful processor and graphics card. It has a higher quality display with wider color coverage, making it excellent for tasks requiring color accuracy and fast motion. However, the ASUS is heavier and has a shorter battery life. Both have backlit keyboards and are capable of intensive gaming, but the ASUS excels in build and speaker quality. 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."

Christian Hintze | March 2023
"The ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 is not yet as optimised as its predecessor. Compared to the previous gen, performance and efficiency have improved significantly. What's more, the wonderful, Mini-LED Nebula display is a contender for the main highlight and almost manages to put the CPU and GPU in the shade. We already found its predecessor to be a well-rounded and well-optimised gaming machine. Generally, but not unequivocally, that also applies to the new Asus M16. Similar to most of the current, new laptops, we are dealing with a double generational leap in terms of the CPU and GPU. However, this change doesn't always run smoothly."
