An absolutely huge $600 price cut brings this premium 14-inch machine down into the mid-to-upper range price brackets for gaming laptop deals , offering exceptional value for those with a bit of cash to spend. Acer Predator Triton 300 SE 14-inch gaming laptop: was $1,599 now $999.99 at Best Buy Processor: Intel Core i7-12700H Graphics card: RTX 3060 RAM: 16G B SSD: 512GB Here's an absolutely awesome gaming laptop deal from Best Buy on the superb Acer Predator Triton 300 SE. This particular machine is on the pricey end for an RTX 3060-equipped laptop but comes with a superb processor, 16GB of RAM, and a decent amount of storage. The biggest selling point, however, is the gorgeous 14-inch design that looks both classy and scores big on the portability side. If you want a premium machine for gaming on the go, this is a superb choice. Deal rating: 5 / 5 View Deal Reasons to buy Lightweight, premium design The biggest selling point for the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE is its incredibly lightweight and slick design, which doesn't immediately scream 'gamer' unlike some choices. Its fully metal chassis and understated aesthetic mean it's a laptop that's perfectly suited to blending in outside of gaming scenarios. Overall, it's more akin to a high-end Apple MacBook than one of the best gaming laptops . Powerful (for the size) Despite weighing in at just 1.7kg and having a relatively small 14-inch form factor, the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE still manages to pack in some fantastic specs. This particular model features a combination of a relatively high-end RTX 3060 graphics card, a decent Intel Core i7-12700H processor, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Overall, these are great specs and should have no problem maxing out a ton of games on the display's native 1080p resolution. We haven't tested this particular model but our Acer Predator Triton 300 SE (2021) review found the previous iteration with an 11th gen chip to be a great performer. (Image credit: Future) Reasons to avoid Fairly expensive for an RTX 3060 gaming laptop Even with an absolutely insane $600 off at Best Buy, this Acer Predator Triton 300 SE is still on the pricey side. We've seen RTX 3060 gaming laptop deals go for as little as $740 before, so those who are purely on a budget may want to consider waiting it out. On the plus side, these cheaper machines don't tend to feature a full kit of 16GB RAM, a Core i7 processor, or a design that's as good as this Triton. Difficult to upgrade The Triton 300 SE's soldered RAM means that you'll be unable to upgrade this specific component down the line you'll essentially be locked-in to 16GB. For us, this isn't a huge deal breaker as 16GB is more than enough for gaming and the RAM is the most recent DDR5 type (very speedy at 4800Mhz).
