15.6-inch 165 Hz QHD+ gaming laptop

The MSI Katana 15 pairs a 15.6-inch anti-glare IPS panel running at 165 Hz with a 2560 x 1600 resolution. An Intel Core i9-14900HX processor delivers 24 cores and 32 threads at up to 5.8 GHz. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 with 12 GB GDDR7 drives modern titles at high settings. Windows 11 Home and an Office 2024 licence ship pre-installed.

16 GB DDR5 memory and 1 TB PCIe SSD

Sixteen gigabytes of DDR5 handle multitasking and current games without paging. The 1 TB PCIe SSD provides fast load times for the operating system and a solid library of titles. Heavy content-creation workflows or large mod collections will hit the memory ceiling first; storage fills slower but remains finite.

HDMI 2.1, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 and Ethernet

A single HDMI 2.1 output drives an external high-refresh display. One USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port and three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports cover peripherals and fast external drives. Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 keep latency low for competitive play. The 720p webcam and four-zone RGB keyboard complete the package.

Questions about this item

Will the HDMI 2.1 port drive my older 1080p monitor at its native resolution?

Yes. The HDMI 2.1 output supports 1080p at high refresh rates and will automatically negotiate the best mode with your existing display.

How can I confirm the 165 Hz panel and RTX 5070 12 GB GDDR7 are active after first boot?

Open the NVIDIA control panel and Windows display settings; both will show 2560 x 1600 at 165 Hz and list the RTX 5070 with 12 GB video memory.

Does the box include a USB-C hub or external drive since the laptop has only one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port?

The package contains the laptop, power adapter and documentation; any hub, card reader or extra storage must be purchased separately.
