Can I find a GL502VM with a 120 Hz panel?

Hi, new to the forum here. I'm going to the US this week and was looking for a new lightweight gaming laptop (can't really get'em in my country). My search narrowed down to Asus GL502VM or VS or MSI GS63VR.

G-sync made me choose Asus, 120 Hz made me choose the GL502VS. But after reading about the 1070 models power/cooling issues, I took a step back and resumed my search.

Then I found this GL502VM-DS74 model at newegg, wich lists as 120 Hz panel.

At first I thought it was a typo, as all reviews around the web and most comments here suggested there were no VM configurations with 120 Hz available. Also, a sales rep from XoticPC (which is listed as seller at newegg) told me that model comes with a 60 Hz panel.

But I also found this page on Asus Global website which shows 120 Hz as an option. When I presented it to the XoticPC sales rep he was unable to see it listed, then I figured he was redirected to the Asus US website, which really doesn't list it.

Ultimately, the guy confirmed they don't build this model with a 120 Hz panel.

Now I am lost as to where to look. The only places I've seen it listed as 120 Hz are shady online shops, that newegg page and the Asus Global (which might be a typo as well, judging by what I read about Asus tech support).

So it comes down to ( TLDR; )

1) Can I have a GL502VM with 120 Hz and this is one of them?
2) In case they really don't exist: At the present state, should I go for the GL502VS or settle for 60 Hz and avoid too many headaches?

Thanks in advance.

[SOLVED] Not really 'solved', but I stopped my search and decided to get the MSI instead. As far as I've gone my answer to question 1) would be NO.

 

I'd stay away from the GL502VM with GSYNC. I just got one and the panel in it is awful. Oversharp and has vertical lines on solid colors.

Also I find GSYNC on with this thing induces microstuttering.

 

I have a GL 702vs from Best buy and comes with a 75hz gsync although everywhere else they come with a 120hz..Check the last characters of the model number that will tell I don't know on your particular model but they gl502 and gl702 are almost the same

Thanks all.

 

As for the overheating issues with the GL502VM / GL502VMZ (aka. FX502VM) models, those all come down to a faulty voltage curve shipped with the pre-flashed GTX1060 firmware.

You can completely erase all of the mentioned overheating issues by manually fixing the voltage curve, effectively undervolting the default 1000+mV it pumps into the card almost permanently to a more sane 850~870mV, which brings down all temperatures by ~11°C.

This not only keeps the damn thing from throttling all the time, but also benefits your battery runtime and keeps the damn fans silent.

(At the very least they won't go Jet-Engine mode on you anymore!)

Although you have made your choice, I will leave a link to my MSI Afterburner profile here, in case the reported "temperature issues" ever turn out to be a deciding factor for potential buyers here.

The proper configuration is stored in profile slot 1 btw, in case it isn't obvious.
The profile I've created variably pumps 640~870mV into the card, as required by the different frequencies.
