Our take on the MSI Katana 15 B13VGK-1664PH Gaming Laptop

The MSI Katana 15 B13VGK pairs a 14-core Intel Core i9-13900H with an RTX 4070 (8GB) and a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS panel at 144Hz. It carries 16GB of DDR5-5200, a 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, a 4-zone RGB keyboard and an MSI gaming backpack in the box. At 2.25 kg it is a desk-first gaming laptop that can travel. Against rivals, it puts more CPU and GPU power into a budget-to-mid chassis, so the screen stays 1080p and the battery is a modest 53.5Wh. Reviewers of the Katana line praise the performance per dollar and criticise the plastic build, fan noise under load and short battery life.

Questions and answers

Is the RTX 4070 wasted on a 1080p screen?
No. At 1080p the RTX 4070 runs most modern games on high settings well above 60fps, and the 144Hz panel shows the extra frames. It leaves headroom for future titles, though a 1440p panel would show more detail.
Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
Yes. It ships with 16GB DDR5-5200 across two SO-DIMM slots and a 1TB Gen4 M.2 SSD, and both are user-replaceable. Check the slot count before buying a kit.
How long does the battery last?
Expect only a few hours of light use from the 53.5Wh battery, and less when gaming. Keep the 200W adapter nearby for anything demanding.
Is it too heavy to carry to class?
At 2.25 kg plus the 200W adapter it is on the heavy side for daily commuting. The included backpack helps, but a lighter ultraportable suits all-day carrying better.
Does it come with Windows and a backpack?
Yes. Windows 11 Home is preinstalled, and an MSI gaming backpack is included in the box.
How does it compare with the Katana 15 RTX 4060 model?
The RTX 4070 version gives a clear step up in frame rates and more CPU headroom with the i9. The 4060 model costs less and runs cooler, so pick it if you play lighter titles.
