Amazing Laptop
Pros: it actually runs amazingly it even runs big games like TLOU and RDR2 wellCons: Fan is loud. It gets really hot sometimes.. Must kept charging at all time for the best performanceHonestly the cons aren’t even the big of a deal it’s a very well gaming laptop let alone laptop in general. It’s fast and it has a lot of storage I have so many dumb games I can just play whenever. 100% recommend if you want to play huge games with a lower budget.

Incredible Performance – Incredible Price
This one takes the cake. During the fourth of July sales going around from every major tech market, I did about two weeks of research only to come to terms that this was not only one of the cheapest options, but best priced options for everything that’s attached to the motherboard. I was pleasantly surprised when I fired everything up and ran a few benchmarks to see just how well it did right out of the gate. Note, this is all without anything overclocked here. I mainly wanted to do some benchmarks without any tampering just to see how it ran. Here is my results;Superposition benchmark – average 80 frames (Could of been higher if frame gen was included but not too bad)Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark – average 124 frames (Ultra settings maxed, excluding a few ray tracing options)Path of Exile 2 End Game maps – average 80 frames (High settings, Frame gen hasn’t been optimized in path yet, but runs amazingly well)Hogwarts Legacy benchmark – average 100 frames (Ultra settings, frame gen has slight stutter frames but runs exceptionally well)Pros:- Runs games exceptionally well- Price is possibly the best for what you’re getting- Though not OLED, the picture quality is very good- MSI and it’s features are nice if you haven’t tried them yet- Sleek and incredibly designCons:- Is quite noisy- Does run a little hot, might consider a cooling pad for better heal levels in peak moments- 1TB might not be enough if you’re a serious gamerAll in all, its an incredible laptop for what you’re getting. I’m thoroughly enjoying everything that it has offered thus far. All that’s left is to focus overclocking and pushing it to the limit.

Good starting point
This laptop surprised me, i was impressed with how well it handles some of my games. I currently have like four games installed, two of which are meant to be multiplayer based. It runs smoothly even when setting it up. Storage space is great for the amount of games you could have and manage. Sounds work, no problem there as well as the screen still looks amazing, but that’s just my personal opinion. I also appreciate the quality control on the battery life, even when I mostly play with it plugged in, it doesn’t feel wrong and the heat is barely noticeable. Even when using a cooling pad after a game session, I feel some heat but not much. I’d say this is a good starting gaming laptop for those looking to pc gaming and not on the heavy expensive side.

good laptop; potential audio issues
works well for gaming on the go for sure, or even if you don’t want to commit to a full setup. it is giving audio glitches immediately out of box so that is very alarming to me. i’ve never had a computer that immediately started bugging out, so I will update this review as needed.

Very nice gaming laptop at a reasonable cost.
Very quiet laptop with smooth running. Clear and good quality graphics. Run my games very well when I’m away from home. Worth the cost and was a great deal during cyber Monday. The one thing I do recommend is getting an external fan system to help keep the laptop running cooler because even with the nice cooling system it has there can still be heat issues.

Not performs as described
I usually do not write reviews . but i have to this time. i suffered for more than 1 month getting refund back from this seller or amazon,,First of all, This msi gaming laptop described as good promised high performance gaming laptop on spec description but it is not good as described.The issue could be cooling system or something else.when i got it, i played NIOH2 on steam. NIOH2 is not high demanding game. not like cyberpunk 2077..when i was playing nioh2 pc with this msi laptop power supply on, it runs 60fps but cooling fan was way too noisy, cooling fan was making helicopter sounds.!!!!! unbearable…!!!and then i took off the power off. playing just without power supply on. frame rates wen down to 30 to 40 fps…seriously?? this is how almost $2000 dollar gaming laptop perform??This MSI gaming laptop is not made well even though sticker specification is showing , promising high performance.I am too disappointed in this MSI gaming laptop..Second issue, Amazon or this seller delayed my refund for more than 1 month..They delayed my refund which supposed to get back on DEC/23/2025. but delayed my refund until 1/1/2025.It took more than 30 days to get refund back.If i bought from microcenter, bestbuy or costco, I could just simply visit for return, get refund back right away..It was wasting time, too inconvenience experience.I do not think i will buy another expensive products from amazon because of return, refund system is just too bad..

Amazing gift for my cousin!
My Three Cents:I just bought this MSI Katana for my cousin, it’s a birthday gift. Me and him were looking at laptops for weeks and this one had the best specs for the price. My cousin is a big gamer, so he needed something strong.The screen is amazing. Its QHD and 165Hz, so the games look super clear and smooth. He installed his favorite game and it run perfect. The RTX 5060 graphic card must be really good. Also its very fast with the i7 processor and 16GB of ram. He says there’s no lag at all.The 1TB SSD is also a big plus, he has so many games and it’s nice to have all that space. The RGB keyboard is a cool touch, he loves changing the colors. Wifi 6E is fast too for his online games.I’m just really happy with this purchase. Seeing how happy my cousin is, I know I made the right choice. If your looking for a gaming laptop for someone, this one is a really good deal. I definately recommend it.

Hasta el momento que llevo ocupando la laptop, ha sido un gran uso y una gran compra, eh jugado varios títulos la máximo en 4k, y la verdad no me ha dado problemas como tal, una recomendación es que manténgala actualizada, además, viene con una suscripción gamepass pc de base no la ultimate, además si tienen dudas por el precio si viene con windows 11, viene con un sistema rgb de teclado de 4 zonas y sobre todo el acabo es plástico, tampoco se puede esperar otro material por el precio, pero aun así el material se siente de calidad, el sistema cooler boost 5 se siente muy bien, casi no esta tan caliente, a diferencia de la serie G de dell, gestiona muchisimo mejor el calor, para todo lo demás que vayas a ocupar si no es para gaming o productividad, saca todo el trabajo, un señalamiento si vás a utilizar la laptop para edición etc., te recomiento un monitor externo, ya que por el precio el mayor sacrificio es pantalla, wifi 6e (no 7), y que el teclado si eres hispano no trae ñ pero para escribirla por defecto en el teclado, recomiendo configurarla en español, para que la teclado a lado de L funcione como ñ.
