Hello everyone
I’m planning to buy a new laptop tomorrow and I have two main choices.
In an ideal scenario I’d prefer a QHD 240hz model, but I have some worries about Razer brand laptops because of reported quality problems.
I really like MSI, though I’m unsure if the 4K 120Hz version is worth the upgrade over 1440p 240Hz.

MSI:
MSI GE66 Raider 15.6" Gaming Laptop Intel Core i9 32 GB Memory NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 1 TB SSD Titanium Blue RAIDERGE6612235 - Best Buy

Razer:
Razer Blade 17 17.3" Gaming Laptop QHD 240Hz Intel Core i9 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 16GB RAM 1TB SSD Black RZ09-0423QED3-R3U1 - Best Buy

If anyone knows better options with similar specifications, let me know.
Also, the purchase must come from BestBuy.

I would choose the MSI if those were my two choices. I'll opt for the 32GB RAM and 3080 graphics card instead of the 4K display.
Personally, I wouldn't purchase a Razer setup—keyboards and mice are fine, but not a PC.
I also prefer the appearance of the MSI machine more.

Even though the MSI model features a 120hz panel while Razer's model uses a 240hz panel

Quality and pixel density during refresh are just personal choices. For a 15-inch screen, 120hz is more than sufficient by my understanding.
