15.6" 165Hz QHD+ display

The 15.6 inch panel runs at 165 Hz with a 2560 x 1600 resolution and an anti-glare IPS coating. It covers 45 percent NTSC and uses a 16:9 aspect ratio for sharp visuals in games and creative work.

Intel Core i9-14900HX 24-core processor

The CPU delivers 24 cores and 32 threads with a 4.1 GHz base frequency and a 5.8 GHz turbo boost. It suits users who need strong multi-threaded performance for rendering, compilation or heavy multitasking. Buyers who only browse the web or run light office apps will not use this headroom and should consider a lower-tier chip.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7 graphics

The laptop GPU provides 12 GB of GDDR7 video memory for high-frame-rate gaming at QHD+ and GPU-accelerated workloads. If your workflow relies on more video memory or you target 4K gaming, this configuration may fall short.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the Intel Core i9-14900HX and RTX 5070 get during all-day gaming sessions?

The 24-core i9-14900HX runs at a 4.1 GHz base clock and can boost to 5.8 GHz, while the RTX 5070 carries 12GB GDDR7. Both sit inside a 14.13 x 10.2 x 0.98-inch chassis weighing 4.96 pounds, so thermals and fan noise will reflect that dense layout.

Which peripherals or cables are not in the box but are required to use every port on this Katana 15?

The laptop provides 1x HDMI 2.1, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C, 3x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A, Ethernet, separate mic-in and audio-out jacks, and a Kensington lock slot. Any monitors, wired mice, headsets or external drives you attach must supply their own matching cables.

Can I plug my older USB-A keyboard, mouse and 1080p monitor into this machine without adapters?

Yes. Three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A ports accept legacy USB-A devices directly, and the HDMI 2.1 output drives a 1080p display natively. The 15.6-inch 165 Hz QHD+ panel runs at 2560 x 1600, so the external monitor will simply mirror or extend at its own resolution.
