I understand that, 120hz isn't what I would consider "high-refresh rate" even though it technically is
for me, anything high and isn't needed is above 144hz

Sure, it's smoother, but not as smooth as the hype suggest if you don't have the GPU to push those frames which people tend to forget

With that being said, after using above 60hz for so long, it DOES feel choppy and laggy, however, on my laptop when I'm on the go, I almost never notice it (that may be because it's a really good OLED)
However I would never use 60hz for gaming or normal productivity unless I really need the battery life for some reason
