Based on your needs, choose the Acer Predator Triton 300 if you require high performance for tasks such as gaming, 3D modeling, or machine learning, as it has a stronger processor and graphics card. However, it is heavier and has less battery life, making it less convenient to carry around. If you prioritize cost savings, basic tasks such as web browsing, office work, and longer battery life, the HP 250 G10 would be the preferable choice, despite its lower screen resolution and graphics capabilities. The HP is lighter, enhancing its portability, but the Acer offers a significantly better display and overall power. Give Feedback

The Acer Predator Triton 300 has a better screen than the HP 250 G10 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Acer Predator Triton 300 offers a balance between resolution and brightness that suits everyday tasks, and its color accuracy is beneficial for engineering and design software, which demand precise hues and wide color ranges. However, its lower refresh rate impacts the fluidity of fast-paced 3D games and animation. On the other hand, the HP 250 G10's screen lacks in sharpness, brightness, and color space coverage, leading to a less vibrant and detailed display across general use, engineering tasks, and gaming, making it less ideal for those who rely on visual clarity and color fidelity.

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 HP 250 G10 is a decent budget device that surprises us with its high CPU frequencies under load. Still, our configuration has a Core i5-1335U which doesn’t require significant cooling, if choose a 28W P-series processor, maybe the situation with the clocks could be different. If you want to play some casual game after work, a memory in dual-channel is a must because it increases greatly the iGPU performance."
