While the MSI Katana 15 doesn't have the very best internals of any gaming laptop on the market, what it does provide is reliable mid-range gaming at a lower cost than many competitors. Of course, it has a powerful RTX 4070 GPU that can handle more realistic light rendering, but that coupled with the Intel Core i7-13620H makes for a great experience overall.
The large 15.6-inch screen with a max resolution of only 1920 x 1080p once more isn't the most impressive panel we've seen on a gaming laptop. However, it does support a fast refresh rate of 144Hz to supply the latest visual signals from the system, which is naturally good for gaming. Plus, between the three USB-A ports, USB-C port, HDMI 2.1 port, and ethernet port any user will be able to connect a good number of accessories or an external monitor to use during their gaming sessions.
At any rate, whether you're looking for the best gaming laptop for yourself or a loved one this holiday season, the MSI Katana 15 is a fantastic mid-range option with a powerful GPU that can keep up with your gaming needs without being too expensive.
