When gaming, you’ll want to use the proprietary charger, though. The Thunderbolt port can plug into a display, be used for ultrafast data transfer, or even charge up the laptop. On the left side, you’ll find a USB-A, a Thunderbolt 4 port, and the barrel-style power plug. The location of the ports is a bit awkward to make room for the side vents, but the variety will undoubtedly make you happy. Most modern laptops integrate this into the power button, though it’s still rare among gaming laptops these days. I also dislike the position of the fingerprint scanner, which is located in the top-right corner of the touchpad. A black bezel around the sides may have helped lessen the effect as well, even if it were still plastic. A 16:10 screen would cut this down without having to shrink the overall chassis size. First off, the bottom bezel is quite large. Once open, there are a couple of features that feel out of step with modern trends. The fake brushed metal texture on the lid feels a little outdated, as does the light silver color. That doesn’t mean the design is totally modern, though. It’s a good balance, and I certainly prefer the subdued aesthetic over the larger Predator Helios 300. It’s not as showy as the ROG Zephyrus G14, but there are small touches of style if you look for them. The only giveaways are a small Predator logo in the top-right corner of the lid and some vents along the hinge. It’s not overly gaming-centric or aggressive. The Razer Blade Stealth 13 is the only gaming laptop to top it, but Razer’s is nowhere near as powerful.
It’s easy to carry around, fits easily into a backpack, and doesn’t take up an inordinate amount of space on a table. That smaller size allows the Triton 300 SE to function as more than just a gaming laptop. At just 12.7 by 8.9 inches, it doesn’t feel much bigger than a non-gaming 14-inch laptop like the HP Spectre x360 14. The 14-inch screen size is what makes the Predator Triton 300 SE feel so small. But a lot of of gaming laptops in recent years have hit the 0.70 inch threshold, including the ROG Zephyrus G14. At 3.7 pounds and 0.70 inches thick, it’s plenty portable. But the Predator Triton 300 SE goes for a smaller footprint rather than being ultrathin or light.ĭon’t get me wrong. The sacrifices made aren’t often worth the compromise. Designīeing the thinnest or lightest device rarely adds up tp being the “best” device. But can a laptop of this size really be powerful enough modern games? You might be surprised. Given its size and design, you might not even identify the Triton 300 SE as a gaming laptop. All that comes in at $1,400, along with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. It’s also a 14-inch gaming laptop, has the same RTX 3060 GPU, and a 144Hz refresh rate screen. The Acer Predator Triton 300 SE, finally, is a worthy rival. and for almost an entire year, there was no challenger to what that laptop could do. With just a 14-inch screen size, an RTX-level graphics card, and decent battery life, it was a breath of fresh air. The ROG Zephyrus G14 was a revolutionary gaming laptop.
