Questions about this item

Can the 32GB DDR5 memory or 1TB PCIe SSD be upgraded later?

The 32GB DDR5 and 1TB PCIe SSD are already at the configuration shipped; any further expansion would depend on the chassis slots, which are not detailed in the specifications.

What thermal limit appears first during long gaming sessions on the i9-14900HX and RTX 5070?

The 24-core i9-14900HX running up to 5.8 GHz and the RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7 share a compact 0.98-inch chassis, so CPU and GPU temperatures will hit their throttling points before any other component.

How loud and hot does the Katana 15 get when running all day?

The 15.6-inch 165 Hz QHD+ panel, 24-core processor and RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7 draw sustained power inside a 4.96-pound body, so fan noise and surface heat become noticeable under continuous load.
