In recent years, Apple has certainly upped its game in hardware advancements, particularly given the company's game-changing system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs. But not all new MacBooks feature 120Hz displays. For instance, even the latest expensive model of the M3 MacBook Air doesn't offer the higher refresh rate.

If you're looking to experience the smoothness of a 120Hz display, turn toward the MacBook Pro models. Apple's latest iteration of 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros are the latest to get Apple's M3 chips and feature a crisp 120Hz display. You can also find the higher refresh rate on the M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pros released earlier the same year.

The revolutionary MacBook Pro models from 2023 aren't the only ones to feature a 120Hz display, however. The upgraded refresh rates have been around since Apple started integrating its M-series chips into MacBook Pros. You can find Apple's ProMotion technology with 120Hz compatibility in its 14-inch and 16-inch 2021 MacBook models featuring the M1 Pro or M1 Max chips. One important outlier to be aware of is the 2022 M2 MacBook Pro model (without the M2 Pro or Max chips), which surprisingly excludes ProMotion with 120Hz from its still-worthy range of specs.
