If you prioritize a higher resolution display, a larger screen, and a more powerful graphics card for tasks like gaming or 3D rendering, the Lenovo Legion 7 is a better fit, but it's also heavier and less portable than the Acer Predator Triton 300. However, if you prefer a more budget-friendly option with decent performance for general use and gaming, at the cost of some screen quality and graphics power, the Acer Predator Triton 300, with its smaller screen and lower resolution, would be more suitable while also offering slightly better portability. Both have good build quality and adequate battery life, but the Lenovo offers slightly longer usage time. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion 7 and Acer Predator Triton 300 are both good for gaming and AI, though the Lenovo Legion 7 is somewhat better.
The Acer Predator Triton 300 and the Lenovo Legion 7 both offer high-quality GPUs and fast screen refresh rates essential for smooth gaming and 3D rendering performance. While the screen quality and CPU also contribute to the overall experience, they are not as critical as the GPU and refresh rate in determining the systems' suitability for demanding visual tasks.

The Lenovo Legion 7 is very good for engineering and design, while the Acer Predator Triton 300 is good.
The Lenovo Legion 7 is very good for engineering and design use due to its higher-resolution screen, superior GPU (Nvidia RTX 3070), and larger storage capacity, which enhances the overall performance and visual fidelity necessary for such tasks. In contrast, while the Acer Predator Triton 300 also has a capable CPU (Intel i7-11800H) and adequate RAM for engineering tasks, its lower screen resolution and less powerful GPU (Nvidia RTX 3060) make it just good rather than very good for these purposes.

The Lenovo Legion 7 has a better screen than the Acer Predator Triton 300 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Acer Predator Triton 300 offers a balance of resolution and brightness, making it suitable for everyday tasks and detailed work in engineering, but its lower refresh rate may not provide the smooth visuals required for high-frame-rate gaming. The Lenovo Legion 7 excels in providing sharp and vivid imagery with superior color reproduction for general use and precision tasks like engineering and design work, attributed to its high-quality panel and wide color gamut. However, like the Triton, it falls short for gaming and 3D applications due to a refresh rate that fails to match the demands of fast-paced visual content.

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 Lenovo Legion 7 is a fast 16-inch gamer with 165 Hz display. The new Lenovo Legion 7 is a very good gaming notebook that, despite its comparatively compact compact 16-inch case, does not have to do without the most powerful components. Thanks to good cooling, no compromises are made in terms of performance. Both the Core i9-12900HX and the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti perform at a very high level."
