If performance for 3D, machine learning, or engineering tasks is your main concern and you want to maximize battery life, the ASUS TUF Dash 15 may be the better choice, as it offers solid performance for these activities and has a longer battery life. On the other hand, the Acer Predator Triton 300 might suit you better if you're interested in gaming and require high screen quality, though its battery life is shorter. Both have similar weights and screen sizes, so portability is relatively comparable, but the ASUS might be a slightly better option for longer use away from a power source. Keep in mind that the Acer model generally costs a bit more, so if you're looking to save some money and still get a good performance, you might lean towards the ASUS. 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."

"The Asus TUF Dash F15 FX517ZR is a laptop with mobile RTX 3070 and acceptable battery life. The Asus TUF Dash F15 was made for high-performance applications like video editing, rendering, and gaming. The laptop can manage the latter in QHD resolution and at high to maximum settings. However, the focus isn't on maximum performance, but instead, it's about a compromise between performance and portability."
