If I had to have one gaming laptop for the next 3 years, even as my main machine, I think this would be it. It’s the perfect balance of performance, price, and (mostly) usability. This is Acer’s Triton 300 and in this video I’m going to explain why. But first, if you haven’t already, consider subscribing for more videos every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!

So what about this is so worth getting hyped over? Well, it’s spec is a good place to start. It’s rocking a 10750H 6 core, 16GB of user swappable RAM, a 1TB M.2 SSD, again user swappable with a spare slot free too, and an RTX 2070 Max-Q, all for just £1500. That’s a lot of bang for your buck there, considering my previous favourite, the Triton 500, was £1600 for an RTX 2060 model a year ago.

Since this is such a tiny chassis, it does get immensely hot. That CPU is a furnace, and does thermal throttle especially when gaming, but put out some reasonable creator focused benchmark results.

So while the CPU isn’t the best on the market for creators, it’s not bad, and the same can be said about the display. I have to commend Acer here, as the little sticker telling you it’s a full HD 144Hz panel also labels it as 3ms, referencing it’s response time. It’s weirdly refreshing to not see the usual lie that every display you see is a “1ms panel”. I shouldn’t need to give praise for being honest, but I do, so good job Acer. It is actually a 3ms panel, at least black to white, which is plenty fine.

It’ll also cover 95% of the sRGB spectrum, with 74% of both AdobeRGB and DCI P3 which is plenty fine for the majority of part-time creatives. If you want to edit your gameplay videos you recorded on this, that’s no problem. Light photo editing? Sure, why not. If you do that for a job, get the ConceptD version instead, but for casual editors this is fine.

If you are exclusively using it for gaming, well that’s pretty good too. The fast response time means there is virtually no ghosting and the total system input lag is only around 35ms, making for a fairly quick laptop.

The gaming performance is no slouch either, as you might guess. The RTX 2070 Max Q is a little hamstrung by the thin design, but at least at the time of filming it’s the only one you can get so unlike Razer where you can step down and save money while basically not losing any performance, this is all you’ve got here. Either way, it’s impressive.

Like I mentioned about the CPU, temps get pretty toasty here, hitting 87°c on the GPU and 98°c on the CPU, with the fans being fairly loud, although not much more than any other gaming laptop really. My main concern with the heat is the transfer to the keyboard. The right half of the keyboard hits 50°c, and even as far left as ‘R’ and ‘T’ get into the higher 40’s making it a little uncomfortable to use for prolonged sessions. Not impossible and I have seen worse, but something to consider for sure.

Speaking of the keyboard, when it’s not on fire, it’s pretty good! It’s slightly too mushy for my tastes, but it’s incredibly easy to get used to and I’d have no problems typing on it long term. The track pad, after just using the Razer Blade Studio, is definitely a downgrade, but it’s still reasonably big and easy enough to use. The only thing I felt was missing was the two finger swipe from the side to go back in a browser, but otherwise was fine.

Taking a look under the hood, you’ll see the number of user serviceable parts. The RAM, the existing WD M.2 SSD and the additional M.2 slot available if you want to add more space later. One thing that did perplex me was this large gap next to the battery. I thought it could be used for a 2.5” drive, but I don’t think it’s quite big enough and there’s no obvious way to mount one either. I get the feeling the 58WHr battery could have been a fair bit bigger to give legitimately impressive battery life rather than the standard couple of hours web browsing, but maybe that’s something you could swap out later.

But, for £1500, and for the hardware you do get, I really can’t complain. It’s a solidly build machine with impressive performance and a great price tag – so if it isn’t obvious this gets a solid recommendation from me.
