The Acer Predator Triton 300 is less expensive and offers good gaming performance with dedicated graphics, making it suitable for gaming and engineering but with shorter battery life and heavier weight, affecting portability. The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is slightly more expensive with a superior screen, double the storage, and better battery life, making it ideal for creative tasks and general use; however, it uses integrated graphics, which are not as powerful for demanding 3D tasks or intensive gaming. Consider the ASUS if you prioritize a better display and portability, and the Acer if you need stronger gaming and engineering performance. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is very good for general use, while the Acer Predator Triton 300 is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo offers a higher RAM capacity, a superior OLED screen with higher resolution, and a larger battery, all contributing to its very good rating for general use, despite being less portable due to its dual-screen design. On the other hand, the Acer Predator Triton 300, while more portable with a single screen, has less RAM, a lower quality IPS display, smaller battery capacity, and lower screen resolution, which factors into its good rating for general purposes.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo 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 the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo have high-resolution panels with impressive brightness, which ensures crisp text and vivid images, making them suitable for a variety of everyday tasks. When it comes to engineering and design, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo stands out with its wider color gamut coverage, providing more accurate color reproduction that's essential for precision work. However, for gaming and 3D applications where fast motion is common, both laptops fall short as they lack high refresh rate displays, which are crucial for smooth on-screen motion and competitive gameplay.

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 Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED is a well-tuned instrument for content creators, excelling at a range of general office tasks as well as tasks that require a little more grunt like encoding and 3D rendering. The big attraction is the laptop’s dual displays. They’re the best ones we’ve used in an Asus Zenbook Duo laptop to date with a spate of year-on-year improvements that make the visuals more striking and the cross-screen integration easier than ever before."
