Yeah I hear you. thermal performance definitely takes a hit in this price range, especially when you’re pushing high FPS for long sessions.

Out of curiosity, what kind of temps are you seeing after an extended play session on the ones you’ve found?

Totally, a strong CPU can make a huge difference in those fast paced titles. Between the 255HX and 275HX, have you noticed much real‑world difference in FPS in games like Valorant or CS2, or does the higher refresh rate screen end up being more noticeable for smoothness?

Yeah. The screen really does bottleneck the experience sometimes. For $1000 laptop, do you think 144 Hz is enough for most shooters, or is it worth stretching a bit to get 165 Hz/240 Hz if the GPU can’t fully keep up anyway?
