The Acer Predator Triton 300 is a powerful option with a high refresh rate display and dedicated graphics card, suited for gaming and engineering applications. It offers strong performance but is heavier and has shorter battery life, which might not be ideal if you plan to travel frequently with your laptop. Conversely, the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED has a stunning OLED display with high color accuracy and resolution, longer battery life, and is lighter, making it great for media consumption and general use. However, it relies on integrated graphics, which may not handle intensive 3D tasks or gaming as effectively as the Acer. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED has a better screen than the Acer Predator Triton 300 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, both the Acer Predator Triton 300 and ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED offer satisfying visual experiences thanks to their resolutions and brightness levels, but the Vivobook's OLED panel provides superior contrast and color reproduction. When it comes to engineering and design, professionals often require a broad color gamut for accurate work; the ASUS with its OLED display likely covers a wider range of DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB, making it more suitable than the Acer. However, for gaming and 3D applications, a high refresh rate is paramount for smooth visuals, and the Acer, despite its adequate resolution and panel type, might fall short compared to gaming-centric laptops that prioritize higher refresh rates.

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 Vivobook S 15 OLED excels as a capable work machine at an affordable price. It offers commendable performance, thanks to its 12th Gen Intel chip, delivers quality on-screen entertainment with its 15.6-inch OLED display, and can (kind of) get you through a full day of work. Oh, and its special Asus Antibacterial Guard is a nice touch for those who like a clean laptop."
