  • Our take on the MSI Katana 15

    The MSI Katana 15 is a 15.6-inch gaming laptop built around an Intel Core i7-12650H and a GeForce RTX 4060 with 8GB of GDDR6. The 1080p IPS screen runs at 144Hz, and the machine carries 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. It is a value-focused gaming model: the RTX 4060 with a MUX switch and Dynamic Boost is the draw, while the 45% NTSC panel and the 2.25 kg body are the compromises. It suits gamers who want strong 1080p frame rates and a fast screen refresh over color-accurate work or all-day portability.

    What reviewers say

    Owners treat the Katana 15 as a sensible entry into RTX 4060 gaming: fast at 1080p and well equipped for the money. The recurring complaints are the dull, low-color screen and fan noise under load.

    What people mention

    • Fan noiseCriticisedReviewers report the cooling gets loud when the GPU is pushed.
    • Build and weightMixedThe chassis feels sturdy enough, but at 2.25 kg it is heavy to carry daily.
    • BatteryCriticisedGaming drains the battery quickly, so it is mostly a plug-in machine.
    • ValuePraisedBuyers see the combination of RTX 4060, 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD as strong for the class.
