Acer’s premium lineup of gaming laptops – the Predator Triton series is now available in Nepal. Known for its sleek chassis and powerful gaming performance, the 2020 edition of the Triton 300 and 500 launched here are powered by 10th-gen Intel Core i7 processors and RTX 20-series GPU. Let’s learn more about the Acer Predator Triton 300 and 500 (2020) including its specs, features, official price in Nepal, and availability.

Acer Predator Triton 300 (2020) Overview

Design & Display

Starting with the design, the Triton 300 features a dual-material design. Here, the inner chassis is made from plastic whereas the exterior body is built using aluminum. The lid has the classic Predator logo. It glows light blue and can’t be turned off either. Similarly, it isn’t perfectly square as the top edges have been sliced for a slightly aggressive look. Its hinge doesn’t go completely flat and settles to a maximum of 160-degrees.

Predator Triton 300 has two 4th-gen Aeroblade 3D fans, each with 59 blades measuring just 0.1mm in order to complement the laptop’s thin-and-light build. For even more effective cooling, there are three heat pipes in total. Talking more about the build quality, the Triton 300 weighs just 2kg with a thickness of 19.9mm.

Moving to the display, you have the 15.6-inches Full HD LED-backlit matte IPS panel. While the short 3ms response time remains consistent with all variants, you can choose between different refresh rates ranging between 120Hz, 144Hz, and 240Hz. It has a peak brightness of 300 nits while the color space is rated at 72% NTSC and 100% sRGB. The bezels aren’t the most minimum like it’s with other Predator laptops. While the ones on the side are pretty low-profile, the top and bottom bezel house the 720p webcam and a Predator branding – therefore the big bezels.

Performance & Memory

Getting to performance, the Triton 300 runs on Intel’s Core i7-10750H processor. It is high-performance silicon manufactured under the 14nm process with 6 cores/12 threads. This 45W TDP CPU has a base frequency of 2.60 GHz with a max turbo frequency of up to 5.0 GHz. Running the graphics side of things is NVIDIA’s Turing-based RTX 2060 or 2070. However, only the former is available here in Nepal with 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM.

There are two memory slots, so you can enjoy dual-channel RAM as well. The base variant of Triton 300 comes with 16GB of DDR4 SDRAM clocked at 2933 MHz. You can upgrade the laptop’s RAM up to 32GB. In terms of storage, it has two M.2 slots although the company has ditched a 2.5-inch optical drive altogether.

Battery & rest of the specs

Moving on to the battery, Predator Triton 300 has a fairly small 4-cell 58.75Wh Li-Ion battery. You can’t charge it with a Type-C cable and uses a traditional 230W power-brick instead. Interestingly, the DC-in connection is on the back instead, so you can get a clean set up at the sides. The keyboard on this laptop is a full-sized one with 4-zone RGB backlighting. The WASD keys have see-through concave-shaped keycaps. It also has a dedicated “Turbo” key for overclocking the laptop and the “PredatorSense” key for launching the utility app.

Other specs of the device include the Killer WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, and DTS:X Ultra audio for a 360-degree surround sound effect. Port collection on the Triton 300 includes 3x USB-A 3.2 gen2, 1x USB Type-C, 1x RJ45 (Ethernet), and 1x HDMI connection.

Acer Predator Triton 500 (2020) Overview

Moving on, the Triton 500 comes with a little more powerful hardware and a more premium build quality. Unlike the mix of plastic and aluminum on the Triton 300, it’s all-metal here. Being the premium model that it is, Acer has included a better cooling system comprising of three 4th-gen Aeroblade 3D fans. While it is slightly thinner than Triton 300, it is a little heavier at 2.10kg.

In terms of display, Triton 500 has a 15.6-inches IPS LCD panel. This can be configured with up to 300Hz refresh rate now and also features NVIDIA’s G-Sync technology for a smoother gaming experience. It has the same 3ms response time so, with that combo, the gaming performance on this machine would probably be a hoot.

Getting to performance, the Triton 500 comes with Intel’s 10th-gen octa-core i7 processor and up to RTX 2080 GPU (in Super design). Memory-wise it supports a maximum of 32GB DDR4 RAM and 2TB of NVMe PCIe storage. There’s a significant upgrade in terms of keyboards as well. Acer has replaced 4-zone RGB backlighting with per-key keyboard lighting on the Triton 500.
