Triton 300 SE ......New 14” RTX 3060 laptop

Haven’t seen much about this laptop but looks pretty slick and a good alternative to the G14 if you want to save a bit of money.

One of the few reviews I have seen

https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/acer-predator-triton-300-se

 

interesting option, no mention of temps though

 

Four-core CPU and no USB-C charging. Hard pass.

 

Its quite thick, so I would assume it won't run too hot as it's running a 35 watt quadcore CPU and probably a castrated GPU, but I must admit this has piqued my interest.

 

Yeah I agree it’s a good option.
Not many 14” laptops I know have a RTX 3060 with a TGP of 75W.

Only other option is the G14 that costs hundreds more, sure it maybe a better overall laptop but gaming performance is about the same.
Just wish we had some in-depth video that show off more of the laptop, like screen quality , temps and fan noise.
I was not impressed with the G14 and really hate White laptops and promptly returned it.
5900HS is a great CPU but the overall package was not too impressed

 

i have this. with 11370 cpu. ordered, when blade 14 wasn't anonced....Acer a good laptop, for waiting my ordered blade 14 2021)

 

I ditched Blade 15 Adv, X1 Carbon Gen 9, Blade Stealth and G14 for this one. Have it with 8TB SSD (double sided SSDs fits just fine) and 40GB RAM (32GB stick works ok also).

It does charge through USB-C, but limited to 65W only I think. My only problem with it is that while connected to eGPU with only TB cable for power, it complains about undersized charger and throttles CPU to 20W. I could just hook up the original charger, but I shouldn't, even 65W is plenty for CPU only with disabled dGPU. Is there any way to increase this limit?
