Gaming laptops are getting better and better, packing in more performance per pound than ever before.

The refresh rate of your display refers to how many times per second the display is able to draw a new image. To achieve best results, the GPU, CPU and the display all have to work together, and gaming laptops have started shipping with the combination of these.
