Our take on the MSI Katana 15 15.6" WQXGA Gaming Laptop
The MSI Katana 15 is a 15.6-inch gaming laptop with a WQXGA (2560x1600) display and an RTX 4070 GPU, paired with a high-core Intel processor and plenty of RAM. It targets gamers who want strong frame rates at 1440p-class resolution without paying flagship prices. Compared with premium thin-and-light gaming laptops, it is heavier and its chassis and speakers are more basic, but the graphics power per dollar is its main draw. Reviewers generally rate its gaming performance well while noting the display and build trail more expensive rivals.

- BatteryCriticisedOwners report it drains quickly when gaming unplugged.
Questions and answers
- Is the RTX 4070 enough for modern games?
- Yes. It runs current titles at high settings at the screen's native resolution, and DLSS helps in the heaviest ones. It is not a 4K card, but the panel is not 4K either.
- How does it compare with the previous Katana 15?
- This version steps up to a WQXGA 16:10 display and RTX 40-series graphics. That makes it a clearer jump for gaming than the older 1080p models.
- How long does the battery last?
- Expect only a few hours of light use and well under two hours of gaming. Keep the charger nearby for serious play.
- Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
- Yes, the memory and SSD are user-accessible, so you can add RAM or a second drive. Check the exact slot layout for your configuration before buying parts.
- Is the screen good for creative work?
- The resolution and size suit photo and video editing, but color accuracy is not a strong point. Serious color work needs a calibrated external monitor.
- Does it run hot?
- It runs warm under load and the fans work hard to keep up. Use it on a hard surface and keep vents clear.
