what is maximum possible refresh rate in built-in & external screens in FA506NC-HN039 laptop?

Hello, I'm going to buy a laptop. I like Asus, and consider buying ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA506NC (FA506NC-HN039). But I am not sure about refresh rate. I want a laptop that supports 240 Hz in both built-in screen and also on external screen (simultaneously).

I looked here - https://www.asus.com/laptops/for-gaming/tuf-gaming/2021-asus-tuf-gaming-a15/techspec/

and I see that there are 10 versions of TUF Gaming A15. I don't understand why for some of them there is written that 240Hz is supported (and some lower refresh rates), while for other editions of A15 there is written only 144Hz, I don't understand, why it is so? What does it mean if for FA506NC-HN039 it is written only 144 Hz. Does it mean I cannot tweak it in any way to get 240 Hz on built in / external screens? The laptops seem to be almost same, in design and technical characteristics, so I wonder why some like FA506NC-HN039 have 144 Hz maximum. Maybe there is possibility of "overclocking" for FA506NC-HN039 to get 240Hz for both built-in and external screen at same time? As I understand - the graphics card supports 240Hz without problem... So I guess that maybe the built-in screens in 10 versions of ASUS TUF Gaming A15 are different, and so some like in FA506NC has worse display which has lower maximum refresh rates supported? If so, can I make upgrade of FA506NC-HN039 screen (or whatever required) to get 240Hz for built-in and external screens both? I haven't bought laptop yet, but if such upgrade is possible, I will buy it.
Thank you in advance

Since our products are sold globally, the specifications are based on the actual sales specifications in each region. 
As for the FA506NC, its screen specifications are 15.6" (HN) FHD, 144Hz, vIPS-level, NTSC 45%, 250 nits, 25ms, and the USB Type-C supports a maximum display resolution and frequency are 5120*3200, 60Hz. 
Thank you.

What is maximum refresh rate (Hz) for 1920 x 1080 for both internal and external screens? And is upgrade posible to change to suport 240Hz for both screens/videocards?
