If your priority is gaming or tasks that require a powerful graphics card, the Acer Predator Triton 300 with its Nvidia RTX 3060 will be the better choice over the Dell Inspiron 16 5630 with integrated graphics; however, this comes at the cost of lower battery life compared to the Dell. The Dell Inspiron is lighter and offers a higher resolution screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio that's great for productivity work, but it may not handle gaming or intensive graphical tasks as well. If portability and battery life are essential and your work is more focused on general use and less on heavy graphics, the Dell Inspiron might suit your needs better. 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."
