The Acer Predator Triton 300 is tailored for gaming and intensive tasks with its dedicated graphics card, making it suitable for engineering and 3D work, but it comes with more weight and lower battery life. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 offers an OLED touchscreen, longer battery life, and is lighter in weight, making it a strong candidate for general use and portability, with satisfactory performance for less demanding tasks. If performance in high-end gaming or heavy computational tasks is your priority, the Acer may be the better choice, whereas for everyday productivity with a focus on mobility, the Samsung is preferable.

How the Acer Predator Triton 300 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 compare to other laptops
"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 Samsung Galaxy Book 3 360 isn’t a laptop that the Korean manufacturer has shouted from the rooftops about, and it seems to have gotten little attention from anywhere. But, it is absolutely a laptop worth paying attention to. Compared to higher-priced devices, like the Dell XPS 13 (2022) and Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (2023), it manages to offer a similar day-to-day experience despite the price difference. It’s really hard to justify the extra cash unless a boosted display is a requirement of yours."
