    Hello. I'm looking to buy gaming laptop with good quality display and fast refresh rate such as 240hz and above. Most of such come with 1080p displays. But I was wondering if there are higher resolution laptops with say 144-165hz refresh rate that can be safely overclocked by lowering resolution?

    Sure, here are some gaming laptops with higher resolution displays that can be safely overclocked by lowering resolution:

    • Asus ROG Strix Scar 15. This laptop has a 15.6-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) display with a 165Hz refresh rate. It can be overclocked to 240Hz by lowering the resolution to Full HD (1920 x 1080). The laptop is powered by an Intel Core i7-12700H processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics card.
    • Lenovo Legion 5 Pro. This laptop has a 16-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) display with a 165Hz refresh rate. It can be overclocked to 240Hz by lowering the resolution to Full HD. The laptop is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 6800H processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics card.
    • MSI GE76 Raider. This laptop has a 17.3-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) display with a 165Hz refresh rate. It can be overclocked to 240Hz by lowering the resolution to Full HD. The laptop is powered by an Intel Core i9-12900H processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card.

    Thanks. I'm interested in 17.3" or 18" laptops. Is overclocking possible using official manufacturer software?
