Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the Katana 15 and do I need to buy anything else to start using it?

The laptop ships with Windows 11 Pro and an Office 2024 licence pre-installed, a 720p webcam, a 4-zone RGB keyboard, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, so no extra software or peripherals are required for everyday use.

Should I choose the 32 GB DDR5 and 4 TB PCIe SSD configuration or look for a different capacity?

The only configuration listed provides 32 GB of DDR5 memory and a 4 TB PCIe SSD; there are no alternative capacities mentioned, so this is the version to order if the specification matches your workload.

What does the 165 Hz 2560 x 1600 QHD+ panel actually deliver in games and creative work?

The 15.6 inch anti-glare IPS screen runs at 165 Hz with a 2560 x 1600 resolution and covers 45 % NTSC, giving smooth motion in fast-paced titles and sharp detail for content creation.
