Ryzen 9 8945HS gaming laptop

The MSI Katana A15 pairs an 8-core AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU and 8GB GDDR6 video memory. 64GB DDR5 system memory and a 4TB PCIe SSD provide capacity for large game libraries and multitasking workloads. Windows 11 Home and an Office 2024 licence ship pre-installed.

15.6" 144Hz FHD display and port layout

A 15.6-inch FHD panel running at 144Hz delivers smooth motion for competitive play. The chassis includes two USB 3.2 Type-A ports, one USB 2.0 port, one USB 3.2 Type-C port, HDMI, an RJ-45 Ethernet jack and a headphone/microphone combo jack. A 720p webcam and per-key RGB backlit keyboard complete the daily interaction set.

Office 2024 licence and factory inspection

The Windows 11 Home image includes a genuine Office 2024 licence, removing the need for a separate productivity subscription. Each unit is opened by engineers to install the 64GB DDR5 and 4TB PCIe SSD upgrades, then stress-tested before resealing. This process adds a one-year warranty on the upgraded components alongside the standard manufacturer coverage.
