There's also a new 17-inch model coming in July. They have the same 15-inch black chassis as the models from earlier this year, with much better gaming specs that include up to the new eight-core 11th-gen i7 CPUs, GeForce RTX 3070 and 32GB RAM, with 360Hz 1080p or 165Hz QHD displays. The newest non-SE Triton 300 models slated to ship in July don't have the SE's pretty silver finish. To me, the SE model seems like a trial balloon to see if there's a market for a laptop built around the i7-11375H and other low-core-count 35w CPUs. Strip it down more and it makes less sense, bump it up and it probably wouldn't fit into the power or thermal requirements of the design. The configuration is pretty much the only one it could offer.

While it definitely has a sleeker, more businesslike design than the more powerful models, it's not nearly as bizzy as, say, the 13-inch Asus ROG Flow X13 two-in-one or Razer Blade Stealth 13.

That's all great on paper, but ultimately, while it's a solid Triton gaming laptop with nicer looks than the rest of its family, you don't gain any noticeable advantages from the special CPU. It supports Intel Turbo Boost 3.0, which potentially allows the CPU to attain a peak single-core frequency of 5GHz compared to 4.8GHz for the not-so-special part. The $1,400 Acer Predator Triton 300 SE uses the Intel Core i7-11375H, a "special edition" - "SE," get it? - of its 35-watt i7-11370H sibling. Intel heralded the arrival of the " ultraportable gaming laptop" at CES 2021, rolling out a trio of low-power 11th-gen H series processors intended for systems prioritizing portability and battery life above raw performance, promising workday-long battery life and thin, businesslike designs.
