If you prioritize gaming or more intensive 3D and machine learning tasks, the Acer Predator Triton 300 with its slightly more powerful graphics could be the better option for you, though it is heavier and has lower battery life. On the other hand, if you prefer a more lightweight and portable laptop with a higher resolution display and better battery life for general use, engineering tasks, or presentations, the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 could suit your needs, but it comes with less powerful graphics for gaming and 3D applications. Both offer similar build quality and performance for general applications. 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 Slim Pro 7 is an attractive, portable laptop that’s ideal if you need a combination of CPU and GPU performance. It also nails the fundamentals with solid connectivity, an enjoyable keyboard, a large touchpad, and top-notch webcam. Display quality is a weakness, but it’s an acceptable compromise for the laptop’s extremely competitive $1,199 MSRP. The Slim Pro 7 is a versatile, affordable laptop and hard to beat for the price."
