Katana 15 QHD 165Hz Display

The 15.6 inch panel runs at 165Hz with a 2560 x 1600 resolution. The WQXGA screen delivers crisp visuals for fast-paced gaming and detailed creative work. A high refresh rate keeps motion smooth during competitive play.

Intel Core i7-14650HX 16 Core CPU

Sixteen cores and twenty-four threads provide strong multi-threaded performance for streaming, rendering and heavy multitasking. Base frequency sits at 3.7 GHz with a turbo up to 5.2 GHz. The processor suits users who need desktop-class power in a portable chassis. Buyers seeking longer battery life or a lighter ultraportable should consider alternatives.

RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7 and 2TB PCIe Storage

The laptop graphics card carries 8GB of GDDR7 memory for modern titles at QHD settings. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR5 system memory handles large assets and background apps without paging. A 2TB PCIe SSD offers ample room for game libraries and project files. Storage headroom remains generous for most users; only massive media archives would require external expansion.

Questions about this item

Do I need to buy an external display to use the 165Hz QHD panel?

The built-in 15.6-inch screen already runs at 165Hz and 2560 x 1600, so no external monitor is required for that refresh rate and resolution.

Can I keep my USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A peripherals when switching to this laptop?

Yes, the laptop provides three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A ports alongside one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C and HDMI 2.1.

How can I confirm the RTX 5060 is using its 8GB GDDR7 memory after setup?

Open Task Manager, select the GPU tab and verify the dedicated video memory shows 8 GB.
