Wasn't sure where to put this, as it's about prebuilt laptops.

So I'm weighing up 3 gaming laptops, but noticed the Acer Nitro V has apparently a 25ms response time on the screen - that sounds crazy to me, considering I usually use desktop screen with around 3ms.
Am I missing something? Are the screen response times tested differently for laptops?
I want to use this for gaming, so response time is a factor.

Otherwise the Acer is a clear winner as they're all around the same price point:

For info, the choices are:

Acer Nitro V Gaming Laptop
Intel I5-13420H
RTX 4050

ASUS ROG Strix G513 Gaming Laptop
AMD Ryzen 7 6800H
RTX 3050 4GB

HP Victus 16-e1502na Gaming Laptop
AMD Ryzen 5 6600H
RTX 3050 4GB

Any info very much welcome!
