Pros and Cons

MSI Katana 15

Strengths

I think it's decent gaming laptops fall into a category for me that I personally don't need too much
It can play the games I throw at it and it also leaves room for overclocking when performance is required
The overall build is nice and it doesn't scream 'I'm a gamer' but it does whisper it more than other laptops do
I think for the price that I purchased this at 1200 I'm getting your product that's equal in value
It has a nice build quality of 7.5 out of 10
The temperatures also stayed relatively low during a longer playing session
After tweaking some settings, updating all the drivers, and overclocking the RTX 4060 with MSI Afterburner, the laptop runs great

Weaknesses

I was underwhelmed by how low the frame rate was for some of these titles with a 4060 I was expecting at least 100 frames in all of these titles
The screen is the weakest link on the katana it feels dull and flat as sometimes it makes me wonder if my game is on Lower settings but no it was just tied to the resolution
I did not like having to tweak some settings, update drivers, and overclock the GPU to get acceptable performance
The laptop runs great now the games are running on ultra settings with above 100 FPS but this is after making changes
My biggest gripe with this laptop is the screen like I mentioned I think it's for me using screens with a higher resolution
I'm getting your product that's equal in value but at a higher price point than what I was expecting to pay
The 1080p screen feels dull and flat as sometimes it makes me wonder if my game is on Lower settings
