The Predator Triton 300 slots somewhere in between the popular Helios 300 and the higher-tier Triton 500. It's a fine option in its class, with a practical and well-built chassis, good inputs, and excellent display and overall smooth performance with daily use, demanding loads, and games. Thermals are its culprit, though, as well as the small battery and limited IO compared to other ultraportable performance notebooks, which Acer will hopefully compensate with aggressive prices.

The Acer Predator Triton 300 is impressive in several important departments. It’s got the gaming ability to handle any mainstream single-player or eSports scenario, good components elsewhere, a decent keyboard and a robust frame. It’s also cheaper than most of its rivals. The lower price does mean compromise though – the screen is mediocre, connectivity could be better and you could find more pure power in other machines. It’s a solid mainstream option, but it doesn’t excel in any one area.
