The Acer Predator Triton 300 is a more suitable option for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, and engineering tasks due to its dedicated Nvidia RTX 3060 graphics card. It also has better performance scores for general use and these specific tasks compared to the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360. However, the Acer is heavier and has a shorter battery life, making it less portable. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is lighter, has longer battery life, and offers a touchscreen with a high-contrast OLED display, making it ideal for general use and better suited for portability. If price is a concern, the Samsung is significantly less expensive while still offering solid performance for everyday tasks. Give Feedback

The Acer Predator Triton 300 is good for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is only fair.
The Acer Predator Triton 300 excels in gaming and 3D tasks because it is equipped with a powerful Nvidia RTX 3060 GPU and offers a high screen refresh rate of 144 Hz, which is essential for smooth gameplay and rendering. In contrast, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a competent Intel Iris Xe GPU and an OLED screen that provides high-quality images, its lower screen refresh rate of 60 Hz makes it less suitable for demanding gaming and 3D applications.

The Acer Predator Triton 300 has a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen for general use, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Acer Predator Triton 300 offers a balance between resolution, brightness, and panel type, suiting everyday tasks, while its color accuracy serves well for engineering and design, yet its refresh rate is subpar for the fast-paced visuals demanded by gaming and 3D applications. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 elevates this with a superior display that boasts excellent resolution and brightness for daily activities and accurate color representation vital for professional design work, but, like the Acer, falls short in refresh rate, lessening its appeal for high-frame-rate gaming or smooth 3D model rendering. In both cases, the screens are fine-tuned for clarity and color but don't cater to the high-speed requirements of immersive gaming experiences or fluid 3D simulations.

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."

"Samsung gets all the basics right with the Book2 360. Its convertible design works well in both laptop and tablet modes, yet still manages to be highly portable, with impressive battery life and eye-catching AMOLED display. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 measures just 12.9mm thick and weighs 1.16kg, making it one of the most affordable ultra-portables currently available. It’s sturdily built too, so it can cope with life on the road."
