15.6" 165Hz QHD+ Gaming Laptop

The MSI Katana 15 pairs a 15.6 inch anti-glare IPS panel at 2560 x 1600 with a 165Hz refresh rate. An Intel Core i9-14900HX with 24 cores and 32 threads runs at 4.1 GHz base and up to 5.80 GHz turbo. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 brings 12GB GDDR7 video memory. Windows 11 Home and Office 2024 are pre-installed.

24-Core Mobile Workstation for High-Refresh Gaming

Creators and competitive players who need 32GB DDR5 and a 512GB PCIe SSD for large projects or modern titles will fit here. The 45% NTSC colour coverage and lack of an SD card reader make it less suited for colour-critical photo or video grading. Buyers wanting a touchscreen or fingerprint reader should look elsewhere.

HDMI 2.1 and Wi-Fi 6E Connectivity Hub

One HDMI 2.1 port drives an external high-refresh display while three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C handle peripherals. Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 cover wired and wireless networks. The 720p webcam and four-zone RGB keyboard complete the package for streaming or LAN events.
