Verdict - Predator Triton 14 AI is not convincing
With the Predator Triton 14 AI, Acer has a compact gamer on offer that impresses above all with its high-quality casing and comfortable input devices. The combination of the efficient Lunar Lake processor and the fast GeForce RTX 5070 is not ideal, as the processor slows down the graphics card somewhat when gaming and the multi-core performance is simply significantly weaker than that of the competition. In addition, the cooling becomes unpleasantly loud if you really want to call up the full performance.
The OLED touchscreen was also not convincing. The biggest problem is the clearly visible raster effect, which significantly impairs the subjective image quality. There is also PWM with a very low frequency and the color deviations are not ideal for image processing.
In a competitive comparison with the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 and the Razer Blade the Predator Triton is not really competitive. In addition to the problems with the image quality, the Acer is also noticeably more expensive at 2,999 Euros(~$3529).

With the Predator Triton 14 AI, Acer offers a compact gaming laptop with a Lunar Lake processor, GeForce RTX 5070 laptop and OLED touchscreen. Only one model with 32 GB RAM and 2 TB SSD is currently available in stores for an RRP of €2,999 (~$3529).
Specifications
Case & equipment
Acer uses a black CNC-milled metal casing, which is of very high quality overall. The workmanship is excellent and the stability is very good (both base unit and lid), only the hinges (max. opening angle 135 degrees) could be a little tighter, as there is a slight bounce. In addition to the illuminated keyboard, the two logos (lid and base unit) can also be illuminated in any desired color. When the lighting is deactivated, the compact gamer looks very simple and is not particularly noticeable. The surfaces are quite susceptible to fingerprints, but are also easy to clean.
The connections are located on both sides and all the important standards are available here. The microSD card reader on the right-hand side is very slow and the 1080p webcam (including IR for face recognition) doesn't take particularly good pictures either. The Wi-Fi module supports the current Wi-Fi 7 standard and achieves very good and stable transfer rates.

Input devices - Comfortable RGB keyboard
The RGB keyboard offers a very comfortable typing experience and even long texts can be written without any problems. Compared to the base unit, the housing around the keyboard is slightly lowered, which is why a fairly generous stroke can be realized here. In direct comparison, the keyboard of the ROG Zephyrus G14 is a little more comfortable, but you really can't complain here. Only the arrow keys are too small, especially for a gamer.
Acer installs a large haptic trackpad that is practically seamlessly integrated into the base unit. There are two LED strips on the side edges that briefly light up white when in use to indicate the edge. Operation is excellent and input with the active stylus (included) is also supported. However, the stylus cannot be used on the capacitive touchscreen, which only supports input with the fingers.
Display - Problematic OLED
Acer uses a 14.5-inch OLED touchscreen (2,880 x 1,800 pixels, 16:10) with 120 Hz from Samsung. The basic OLED strengths (vivid colors, high contrasts, fast response times) are present, but the touchscreen layer results in a clearly visible raster effect, which greatly impairs the subjective image quality, especially with bright content. We tried to capture this in the picture on the right, but the camera exacerbates the problem minimally. There is also PWM flickering at 240 Hz at every brightness level. Both the brightness and the color temperature can be controlled by a sensor. The touchscreen is very reflective, which limits its use, especially outdoors.
The brightness in SDR mode is just under 380 cd/m² and the black level is 0, which results in very high contrasts. In HDR mode, the maximum brightness is 558 cd/m² for image sections and 478 cd/m² for a full screen. The panel fully covers both the sRGB and P3 color spaces and Acer offers corresponding color profiles. In our analysis with the professional CalMAN software, the color temperature is slightly too warm, but there is no color cast. However, the color deviations are partly above the target value of 3, which we could not improve with our own calibration. The panel is therefore not ideal for image editing.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 240 Hz Amplitude: 41 % | ≤ 100 % brightness setting | |
The display backlight flickers at 240 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 240 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8098 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
Performance - Lunar Lake & Blackwell
Test conditions
Acer offers various energy profiles that can be switched either via the Predator Sense software or the corresponding button. The CPU performance is practically identical in all profiles, but the full GPU performance is only available in Turbo mode, which we also used for the benchmarks. In battery mode, the Balanced mode is the maximum available.

Processor
The Lunar Lake Core Ultra 9 288V is allowed to consume a maximum of 37 watts and does so in the Predator Triton. The performance is also okay in everyday use due to the high single-core performance, but the 8-core simply doesn't stand a chance against the competition, especially when it comes to multi-core performance.

GPU performance
The dedicated GPU is the GeForce RTX 5070 with a TGP of 110 watts, i.e. a very fast variant. The 5070 offers 8 GB of VRAM, which can lead to limitations in current games, especially in high resolutions, which we will discuss in a special article already looked at in more detail. The graphics switching is done via the regular Optimus technology, but a MUX switch is installed and you can switch completely to the dGPU, but this requires a restart.
The pure graphics performance is basically okay, but the rather weak Lunar Lake processor is noticeable when gaming and you can't exploit the full potential of the RTX 5070. Here the Razer Blade 14 with an AMD CPU, for example, is 10% faster. Nevertheless, all modern titles can be played (especially in Full HD), even if not always with maximum details.

Emissions & Energy
Noise emissions
There are two sides to the cooling. On the one hand, the efficient Lunar Lake processor with its low maximum consumption means that notebooks are generally very quiet during everyday tasks without using the dGPU, even in Turbo mode. However, as soon as the RTX 5070 is used, the fans become really loud, although Acer already uses a vapor chamber here. In Turbo mode it is a very loud and annoying 57.9 dB(A) and in performance mode still more than 53 dB(A). This also makes it by far the loudest device in our comparison group. There were no other electronic noises.

Speaker
The sound system consists of 6 modules and the maximum volume is very high, but the speakers are not really convincing. Even at around 50% of the volume, the sound is quite boomy and playing music or movies is no longer really pleasant.

Energy consumption
When idle, the device requires quite a lot of power and has no efficiency advantages here either. This is only noticeable under load, which is around 135 watts when gaming. The included 140 watt power supply unit is therefore just sufficient, but offers no scope for charging the battery, for example. The standby consumption of 2.6 watts is far too high.

Battery life
The 76 Wh-battery enables reasonable runtimes, but the Lunar Lake processor does not really provide an advantage here. With 9 hours in the WLAN test at 150 cd/m² and 6:45 hours at full brightness, the Acer is just ahead of the Razer Blade 14 (72 Wh), but also clearly behind the ROG Zephyrus G14 (73 Wh).
