However, it's heavier, so it might not be as comfortable to carry around. Consider the ASUS if you need top-tier processing power and display quality, and the Acer if you prefer a more affordable, portable laptop with good performance. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 and Acer Predator Triton 300 are both good for gaming and AI, though the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is somewhat better.
The Acer Predator Triton 300 is a strong contender for gaming and 3D applications with its Nvidia RTX 3060 GPU and a high 144 Hz screen refresh rate, which can enhance the responsiveness and smoothness of gameplay. On the other hand, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15, with a superior Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU and a higher-resolution OLED display, though at a lower 60 Hz refresh rate, offers better graphical performance and screen quality, which can be crucial for more demanding gaming and 3D tasks.

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is excellent for engineering and design, while the Acer Predator Triton 300 is good.
The Acer Predator Triton 300, with its capable but less advanced i7 processor, RTX 3060 GPU, and standard screen, offers good performance for engineering and design tasks, but falls behind the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15, which boasts a top-tier i9 processor, RTX 3070 Ti GPU, and a high-resolution OLED screen that excels in color accuracy and detail. While both have a similar screen size and RAM sufficient for demanding software, the ASUS's superior hardware and screen quality make it particularly well-suited for engineering and design professionals who require the best visual fidelity and computing power.

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."

"Benchmarks aside, the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is hard to compare with other PCs. Its closest competition may be a multi-monitor desktop, or a laptop with an attached travel monitor. The Pro Duo is more portable and versatile than either of those options, especially with the software tools Asus has thrown on top. For a certain niche of artists, media creators, and gamers, all that might add up to something special, even if it’s unattainable for the rest of us."
