When deciding between the Acer Predator Triton 300 and the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x, consider that the Acer is typically better suited for gaming and heavy tasks due to its stronger graphics and cooling system, while the Lenovo, being lighter and sleeker, is ideal for business users who prioritize portability and a professional appearance. The Lenovo may also offer a more premium build quality and possibly better battery life but expect to invest more compared to the Acer, which offers more raw performance for less money, making it a cost-effective choice for performance-intensive applications. Choose the Acer if gaming or demanding software is a priority, or the Lenovo for a balance of portability and capability for everyday business use. Give Feedback

The Acer Predator Triton 300's display offers adequate resolution and brightness for everyday tasks and precise color representation necessary for engineering and design work but falls short for gaming due to its lower refresh rate. The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x provides crisp visuals and high brightness for both everyday and professional design use, coupled with a wide color gamut ensuring accuracy for detailed work. However, like the Predator, it lacks a high refresh rate, rendering it less suitable for the smooth visuals demanded by gaming and high-speed 3D applications.

The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x and Acer Predator Triton 300 are both good for general use.
The Acer Predator Triton 300, with a high-performance CPU and ample RAM, excels in tasks that demand more power like gaming or content creation, but this comes at the cost of heavier weight and shorter battery life, making it less portable compared to other laptops. On the other hand, the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x offers a balance with good screen quality, lighter weight for easy portability, and longer-lasting battery, which suits everyday tasks and on-the-go use, although it may not handle intensive applications as smoothly as the Triton.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Acer Predator Triton 300 to be good for gaming and AI, while the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x is only fair.
The Acer Predator Triton 300 features a high-end GPU and a fast screen refresh rate, essential for smooth and immersive gaming and 3D experiences, while the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x, with a less powerful GPU and lower refresh rate, will deliver adequate but not optimal performance for these tasks. Although the CPU and screen quality on both laptops are capable, the superior GPU and refresh rate of the Triton make it the better choice for those specific applications.

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."
