The Acer Predator Triton 300 is less expensive and better suited for gaming and intensive engineering tasks with its dedicated Nvidia graphics card. However, it's heavier and has a shorter battery life, making it less portable than the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga. On the other hand, the ThinkPad, while more expensive, offers a more premium business experience, is lighter, and boasts a longer battery life, which might make it more suitable if you prioritize portability and general use over high-end performance for tasks like 3D rendering or heavy computational workloads.

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 ThinkPad X1 Titanium is a showcase of what Lenovo thinks business computing will look like in the near future. People want thinner, lighter laptops with high-quality screens and enough computing power to get their work done. The X1 Titanium achieves these goals with some controversial but innovative design choices, including a redesigned keyboard and a pared-down port selection."
