The Acer Predator Triton 300 is tailored for gaming and tasks like 3D modeling and machine learning, with a dedicated RTX graphics card, yet it has a shorter battery life and is heavier, making it less portable. In contrast, the LG Gram 17 offers a larger screen, significantly longer battery life, and is much lighter, which makes it more portable and better for general use. It also has a higher resolution, but with integrated graphics, it's not suited for intensive gaming or engineering tasks like the Acer. Choose the Acer for performance-focused tasks and the LG Gram for portability and everyday productivity. 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 LG Gram 17 is a light office laptop with a large display and great battery life. The newest incarnation of the Gram 17 can be classified as a model update. LG uses the predecessor's compact, light magnesium case along with an identical port configuration (including 2x Thunderbolt 4) and keyboard. Changes can be found in the hardware. With the Gram 17 (2022), LG offers a light (approx. 1,350 g), mobile work device - and finally with a matte display."
