5 Best 240Hz Gaming Laptops in 2023

Specs:

• CPU / Processor: Intel Core i9-12900HX
• GPU / Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti
• RAM / Memory: 32GB
• Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
• Display: 17.3″ QHD 240Hz

Who needs a Razer Blade when you have one of these? The MSI Raider GE77HX is MSI’s top-of-the-line gaming laptop model. You’ll find the specs a bit overkill for QHD or 1440p, but that’s somewhat necessary if you want to max out the 240Hz refresh rate in certain games; you will want a framerate of around 200+ FPS after all if you want to reap the benefits of 240Hz.

The difference between this model compared to other big brands is the aesthetics. It’s filled with some impeccable MSI goodies, the most notable of which is the RGB lighting at the front of the chassis. Beyond that, it’s just an overall sexy laptop with a competitive price.

Specs:

• CPU / Processor: Intel i9-12900H
• GPU / Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti
• RAM / Memory: 32GB LPDDR5
• Storage: 1TB PCIe Gen 4×4 SSD
• Display: 16″ WQXGA 240Hz G-SYNC

Turns out you can save a lot in the high-end category if you’re not afraid of opting for some of the more budget-oriented brands and models. The Acer Predator Triton 500 SE is hard to beat when it comes to component power.

It’s a proper 240Hz gaming laptop with a top-of-the-line CPU and GPU. It’s also significantly cheaper compared to the MSI Raider though if you were to compare the two side-by-side personally, you might notice where Acer cut costs with the Predator Triton. Regardless, if you don’t value looks and the chassis’ appearance, this one is a solid contender.

Specs:

• CPU / Processor: Intel Core i9 12900H
• GPU / Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
• RAM / Memory: 16GB DDR5
• Storage: 1TB SSD
• Display: 15.6” 240Hz IPS QHD

17 or 16-inch laptops might be a bit too bulky for some people. That’s why you might want to opt for something smaller, like the ROG Strix Scar 15. As the name implies, it’s only 15 inches diagonally. The screen is smaller, sadly, but still has plenty of visual real-estate for QHD resolution to flex itself at 240Hz.

The price is also more manageable though be prepared to sacrifice some visual meters in the most graphic-intensive titles to achieve 200+ FPS. Make no mistake though, the RTX 3070 Ti is more than enough for 240Hz at QHD, but of course, it’s not the best or most ideal.

Specs:

• CPU / Processor: AMD Ryzen R9 6900HS
• GPU / Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX 6800M
• RAM / Memory: 32GB DDR5
• Storage: 2 TB
• Display: 16″ 2560×1600 240Hz IPS Screen

If you do find yourself wanting to support AMD instead of Intel and Nvidia, then the Corsair Voyager a1600 lets you do just that. It’s one of Corsair’s newest products so you’ll be an early adopter of this tech in case you decide to go with it.

However, given Corsair’s reputation for quality and sturdy products, you likely can’t go wrong. The design is sleek and stealthy, as is the keyboard with its Cherry MX ultra-low profile keys. For gaming, it trades blows with the RTX 3070 Ti, sometimes more, but don’t expect it to have stellar or ideal ray tracing performance. That’s not that big of an issue considering the small number of games that utilize Nvidia’s proprietary tech to its fullest.

Specs:

• CPU / Processor: Intel i7-12700H
• GPU / Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060
• RAM / Memory: 16GB DDR5
• Storage: 512GB Gen 4×4 SSD
• Display: 16″ WQXGA 240Hz G-SYNC

So that Acer Predator Triton 500 SE from earlier? It actually has a mid-range budget option that’s perfect for those who still want a 240Hz display while keeping the expense under control. The laptop comes in at a sub-$1,200 price point which is a good deal.

The catch is that it only comes equipped with an RTX 3060, which will struggle maxing out 240Hz unless you’re playing eSports titles. This isn’t a big drawback, by the way, especially given the price. It also uses the same chassis as the Predator Triton; so you get somewhat of a premium feel with this budget mid-range laptop.
