If you prioritize long battery life and a premium touch display for tasks such as photo editing, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 is the better option as it comes with an OLED touchscreen and significantly longer battery use on a single charge. Alternatively, if you prefer stronger gaming or 3D rendering performance, the Acer Predator Triton 300 is equipped with a more powerful graphics card and higher refresh rate screen, though it has a shorter battery life and no touchscreen. Both laptops offer similar portability, RAM, and storage, so your decision should hinge mainly on whether battery life and display quality or gaming performance are more crucial for your needs.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 and Acer Predator Triton 300 are both good for general use.
The Acer Predator Triton 300, with its robust Intel i7 processor and RTX 3060 GPU, is tailored for users seeking a balance between competent performance and gaming, but its battery life is shorter, making it less suitable for long periods away from power outlets. Meanwhile, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 15's vivid OLED touchscreen, powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU and RTX 3050 Ti GPU, offers a premium screen experience and longer battery life for extended use, but it might not handle intensive gaming as well as the Predator. Both laptops have the same RAM and storage capacity, ensuring smooth operation for general tasks, though the Zenbook’s superior speaker quality and heat management enhance multimedia enjoyment and sustained performance.

"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 Zenbook Pro 15 offers a strong CPU, chassis, and display. One of the most popular 15.6-inch prosumer or multimedia laptops out there is the Dell XPS 15. Thus, comparisons between it and the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 are inevitable. Asus has a couple of tricks up its sleeve that XPS users are still missing out on including 1080p OLED and an AMD Ryzen CPU which help separate the Zenbook Pro 15 from the XPS 15. It also integrates a numpad and a few more port options albeit at the cost of a larger chassis size."
