Well yes, the older laptops you'll have to find refurbished because nobody's keeping them in current stock -- they went on clearance for Black Friday.

G-Sync is a new display technology that's part of the monitor itself that allows a dynamic display refresh rate. Basically it means that whatever FPS your GPU can push out, that's what the monitor shows, instead of being stuck at 60fps and sometimes drawing the same frame twice.

If you've never noticed a problem with frame rate fluctuations or horizontal tearing, you aren't going to care about G-Sync. Yeah, it looks nice and smooth, but you're used to not having it, so you won't miss it.

The reason it's more important for FPS than MOBA is because competitive FPS games have a lot more full-screen rotations that really make FPS fluctuations more visible and they're more sensitive to input lag because a few milliseconds can mean the difference between a headshot and a miss. That said, you have to be a super-high-end player for that difference to come across as anything but feeling like it's just a hard shot to make in the first place.

So... yeah, don't waste the money.
