Pros & Cons

Pros

The refresh rate is fast (144hz) and i ran well above 60fps on max settings flawlessly on cp2077. Battery life is great when you aren't gaming on it. It handles every game he plays very well, at very high frame rates and high setting.

The msi katana 15 b13v is a great way to get an rtx 4070 laptop at a great price. With coolerboost on, this thing hangs in the 60-75 degree range with bg3 running max settings. Getting desktop-like cpu temps and gpu temps in a laptop should be a piped... Read More

Can cast bluetooth to tv for youtube watching or via hdmi cable for a great gaming experience. For the price, it is pretty snappy!

The graphics quality is exceptional compared to machines i've owned before. The video card is awesome. The graphics are surreal for my first gaming laptop.

This is much lighter and has a pretty subtle chassis which is exactly what i wanted. For me (as animator) it works perfectly.

Cons

They won’t even let you ship it back, they have to have it picked up. Pretty disappointed in the msi product. Will be returning.

Quality

High performance for gaming and easy to code on its keyboard

The design is impressive it has a sturdy build and doesn’t get too hot

Battery life is pretty bad while unplugged only averaging about 2 hours while we browsing or general computing not gaming

I was skeptical when i purchased this laptop because of some of the sacrifices this laptop gives up to keep the price lower but... Read More

Best laptop for the price excellent performance just wish it was 1440p

Totally a steal at 1400 including tax

Since they dont price match i was suppose to order another one for the cheaper price and return the first order

Shipping

Oh i will get it all weeded out eventually i just miss the days when you all the crap was offered elsewhere and didnt come forc... Read More

I guess i got lucky because i got an email a couple hours later saying the original order was successfully cancelled

I contacted msi thru live chat and they are sending me the mounting bracket

Update received mounting bracket for ssd within a week of contacting msi customer support

Packaging/appearance

This is a tiny box to fit all of those extreme heat producing components in

Competitiveness

I’m usually an amd guy but my first intelnvidia purchase in year’s

Finally i exported the openshot project to a 720p video in less than 5 seconds

Although this msi katana laptop is billed as a gaming laptop i actually dont use it for gaming at all

The msi update center is better than the one on my other brand notebook
