The Acer Predator Triton 300 offers solid performance and gaming capabilities at a slightly lower price point, making it a good option for budget-conscious users who still want a machine capable of handling demanding tasks. It is relatively light and thin, which enhances its portability. On the other hand, the Lenovo LOQ 15, while costing a bit more, provides a newer and potentially more powerful graphics card, which could be beneficial for the latest gaming and machine learning applications. It also has a marginally better battery life, but is heavier and thicker, making it less convenient to carry around. Both laptops have similar display sizes, resolutions, and refresh rates, ensuring a comparable visual experience. If portability and cost are your primary concerns, you might favor the Acer. However, if you are looking for better performance in 3D rendering, machine learning, or gaming, the Lenovo could be the more suitable choice despite its slightly higher cost and lower portability.

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."

"Even after a short time with the LOQ 15, you'll find it has a lot going for it, but ultimately it's just "good"—not quite a star. The performance is respectable for the hardware it’s running, but Lenovo had to make some design sacrifices to trim the price. One of the better aspects is the keyboard, making it one of the better low-cost gaming laptops to actually put your hands on."
