The Acer Predator Triton 300 offers superior performance for intensive tasks such as 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering due to its dedicated Nvidia RTX 3060 graphics chip. This feature also makes it suitable for high-end gaming with good graphics, but it is a bulkier option making it less portable and has a shorter battery life compared to the Dell Latitude 5330. In contrast, the Dell Latitude 5330 is notably more portable, has a longer battery life, and has a professional appearance, making it ideal for business use. However, it may not handle demanding graphics-intensive tasks as well due to its integrated graphics. If budget is a concern, the Dell is generally more affordable, while the Acer will cost more but brings increased processing power for demanding applications. Give Feedback

The Acer Predator Triton 300 is good for gaming and AI, while the Dell Latitude 5330 is only fair.
The Acer Predator Triton 300 is equipped with a high-end Nvidia RTX 3060 GPU and a screen refresh rate of 144Hz, making it ideal for gaming and 3D applications that demand fast visual rendering and smooth motion graphics. On the other hand, the Dell Latitude 5330 uses a lower-powered Intel i5-1245U Iris Xe graphics which, along with a screen refresh rate of 60Hz, is adequate for less intensive gaming and 3D tasks but may not provide the same level of fluidity or detail as the Acer's gaming-optimized hardware.

The Acer Predator Triton 300 has a better screen than the Dell Latitude 5330 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The Acer Predator Triton 300 offers a good balance of resolution, brightness, and panel type, making it suitable for general tasks and engineering design where color accuracy and clarity are crucial, but its lower refresh rate hinders the high-speed visuals needed for optimal gaming and 3D experiences. The Dell Latitude 5330 provides adequate resolution and brightness for routine activities and sufficient color representation for basic engineering and design work, yet it similarly falls short for gaming and 3D due to a subpar refresh rate. Gaming and 3D usage demand high refresh rates for smooth motion, which neither laptop prioritizes, thus compromising their performance in those areas.

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."
