Ryzen 9 8945HS gaming laptop

The MSI Katana A15 pairs an 8-core Ryzen 9 8945HS processor with a GeForce RTX 4070 laptop GPU. It ships with Windows 11 Pro and an Office 2024 licence, targeting gamers and creators who want a 15.6-inch portable workstation. The 144 Hz FHD panel and per-key RGB keyboard complete the package.

32 GB DDR5 and 2 TB PCIe SSD capacity

Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR5 memory and a two-terabyte PCIe solid-state drive give ample headroom for modern titles, streaming and content creation. The RTX 4070 with 8 GB GDDR6 handles 1080p ultra settings comfortably, while heavier 1440p workloads will begin to saturate the video memory.

Windows 11 Pro and Office 2024 bundle

A genuine Windows 11 Pro licence and a full Office 2024 licence are pre-activated, removing the need for separate subscriptions. The chassis includes two USB 3.2 Type-A ports, one USB 2.0 port, one USB 3.2 Type-C port, HDMI, RJ-45 Ethernet and a combo audio jack for peripherals.

Questions about this item

Will my existing USB 2.0 and USB 3.2 Type-A peripherals work with the Katana A15 ports?

Yes, the laptop provides one USB 2.0 and two USB 3.2 Type-A ports so older mice, keyboards and drives connect directly.

How can I verify the 144 Hz panel is running at its native refresh rate after setup?

Open Windows display settings, choose the 15.6 inch FHD screen and confirm the refresh-rate dropdown shows 144 Hz selected.

Does the box include an SD card reader or must I buy one separately?

The specifications list no multi-format SD media card reader, so an external USB reader is required for SD cards.
