The Acer Predator Triton 300 is a solid choice if you're looking for good performance at a somewhat lower price and can manage with a standard screen size and resolution. It is also suitable for gaming. On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" offers a larger display with higher resolution, a more powerful graphics card, and significantly better battery life, which might be worth the higher price if you're after top-notch performance and visuals, especially for tasks like 3D rendering and precision engineering work. Both laptops have ample RAM and storage for most needs and are similar in weight for portability. 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."

"The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is a slim Legion notebook that is just as excellent with Nvidia & Intel. However, the Legion Slim 7i slightly sullied by lacklustre battery life. You get a slim aluminium chassis, great input devices, decent port selection, fast high-quality WQXGA display and great performance. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 is one advantage of the Intel/Nvidia model tested in this review. Moreover, this variant has slightly higher CPU performance as well as better GPU performance in certain applications (e.g. CUDA-based apps). The Lenovo Legion S7i is thin, premium and performant – but less efficient than its AMD counterpart."
