15.6" QHD 165Hz Gaming Laptop

The MSI Katana pairs a 15.6 inch QHD IPS panel at 165 Hz with an Intel Core i7-14650HX processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics. A 16 core 24 thread CPU and 8GB GDDR7 GPU target gamers and creators who want high frame rates at 2560 x 1440. Windows 11 Home and Copilot+ PC features ship out of the box.

64GB DDR5 5600 and 1TB NVMe

Sixty four gigabytes of DDR5 5600 memory gives ample headroom for multitasking, streaming and memory heavy titles without paging. The 1TB PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe M.2 SSD delivers fast load times for a large library, though very large open world games or video projects may eventually require external storage.

4 Zone RGB Keyboard and Connectivity

A four zone RGB keyboard with anti ghost keys provides per zone lighting control and reliable simultaneous inputs during intense sessions. Ports include three USB Type A, one USB Type C, HDMI, RJ45 and a headset jack. WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 handle wireless peripherals and low latency networking, while the 55.2Wh battery and 4.29lb chassis balance portability with desktop class performance.

Questions about this item

Will the 15.6 inch QHD panel fit my existing laptop stand?

The chassis measures 14.13 by 10.31 by 0.99 inches and weighs 5.29 lbs; check your stand's width, depth and load rating against those dimensions.

Can I run the RTX 5070 at full power on the 55.2 Wh battery?

The 55.2 Wh pack will deliver limited gaming time under heavy GPU load; expect to stay plugged in for extended sessions.

Does the single HDMI port support an external 1440p 165 Hz monitor?

Yes, the HDMI output can drive a 2560 x 1440 display at 165 Hz for a second screen.
