    Asus has been a pioneer when it comes to making gaming laptops with high refresh rate displays. Now, once again they have stepped-up their game and unveiled the world’s first gaming laptop with a ridiculous 300 Hz display (read: you can get an insane 300 FPS without tearing), the ROG Zephyrus S GX701. But, Asus isn’t the only one with a 300 Hz laptop in the market, Acer has also unveiled its Predator Triton 500 with, you guessed it, a 300 Hz display. Both these laptops were showcased as IFA 2019 which is currently underway in Berlin.
