The Acer Predator Triton 300 is a strong choice if you need higher performance for gaming, 3D, or machine learning tasks, as it has a more powerful CPU and GPU. However, its battery life is shorter, and it's heavier, making it less portable. On the other hand, the LG Ultra 13 offers better battery life and is much lighter, which is ideal for on-the-go use and general tasks. It’s also less expensive but offers less storage and is not designed for intensive tasks such as gaming or heavy engineering applications. Consider the LG Ultra 13 if portability and cost are top priorities, or the Acer Predator Triton 300 if you need better performance for specialized tasks despite the higher cost and weight.

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."

Joshua Goldman | April 2017
"The 13.3-inch LG Gram is a fine fit if you need to travel as light as possible for as long as possible without spending a fortune to do it. It might not be particularly sturdy or have an eye-catching design and its webcam is less than ideal, but with its sharp touch display, comfortable backlit keyboard, responsive touchpad and a fingerprint reader for extra security, the Gram makes a respectible everyday laptop for business or school work."
