![]() It’s larger than the one on the Triton 500 and feels just as smooth and accurate, so I can assume it’s also made out of glass. The click pad is also inherited from the Helios 300, at least in design. There’s still no CapsLock LED indicator, much like with all the Acer keyboards, and the illumination still requires to press a key to activate, and doesn’t turn on with a gentle clickpad swipe, the way it should! The Triton 300 gets a 4-zone backlit keyboard and a slightly different array of LEDs, so it is not as evenly lit and some light creeps from underneath some of the keycaps. The higher-tier Triton wins at the RGB implementation, though, with individual per-key control and brighter LEDs. Overall, I feel that the Triton 300 is a slightly friendlier and less unforgiving typer, based on my experience with these two samples. The keys on the Triton 300 felt a little firmer than on the Triton 500 and required a bit more force to actuate properly, which took a toll on my typing speed, but positively impacted my accuracy. This aside, the design and overall feedback is mostly consistent between these implementations, and should appeal to most users. The Triton 300 gets a full-size keyboard layout, with an included NumPad, inherited from the Helios 300 model, and unlike the one on the Triton 500. Finally, the screen can be easily opened and adjusted with a single hand, yet the hinges only allow it to lean back flat to about 160 degrees, and not all the way back flat as on the higher tier Triton. The blunted front lip and corners also make it comfortable to use every day, without pressing on your wrists, and the palm-rest is fairly spacious, as mentioned earlier. ![]() On the other hand, the PSU is placed on the back, out of the way, making for a clean setup if you don’t plan to connect an external monitor.Īs far as practicality goes, the laptop sits well on the desk, but the rubber feet on the desk are not as grippy as on other laptops. This Predator model also doesn’t get any card-reader or biometrics. The USB-C port is also placed here, and it’s a data-only implementation, without support for Thunderbolt 3, video, or charging, which are available on the Triton 500. The video ports are awkwardly placed on the right edge though, which is going to clutter your mouse area when hooking up peripherals. The IO resides on the edges, towards the middle and front, as the rear is reserved for the cooling system. There are still some intake vents at the top of the screen, but smaller in size, as the entire thermal module is different than the one implemented on the higher tier ultraportable. These aside, though, the interior is clean and neat, especially once you peel off the various stickers plastered around.Īcer implemented a full-size keyboard on this series, with a NumPad section, and positioned it higher onto the frame than on the Triton 500 model, which allows for a more spacious arm-rest and larger clickpad. Compared to the Triton 500, this model also gets the status LEDs placed just beneath the screen, and they’re fairly bright an annoying when watching a movie in a dark room. Acer are among the very few to stick with this sort of logo, in an era when most OEMs choose cleaner designs without any flashy elements. ![]() The panel-lit Predator logo still resides on the lid, and there’s no way to switch it off. The Triton 300 shares a handful of design elements with the top-tier Triton 500 ultraportable, such as the lid with the panel-lit blue Predator Logo, and part of the interior, especially the front-lip with the rounded corners and edges. 78” (h)Ĥ.78 lbs (2.17 kg) + 1.92 lbs (875 g) power brick and cables, EU modelĤ-zone RGB backlit keyboard, HD webcam, stereo speakers Intel UHD + Nvidia RTX 2070 8 GB (80-90 W Max-Q, Overclocked, GeForce 446.14) – Optimus modeġx 1 TB SSD (WDC PC SN730) – 3x M.2 NVMe 80 mm slots Intel Comet Lake-H Core i7-10750H CPU, 6C/12T Specs as reviewed – 2020 Acer Predator Triton 300ġ920 x 1080 px IPS 240 Hz 3ms, 16:9, non-touch, matte, Sharp LQ156M1JW09 panel
