MSI Katana 15 B13VGK

80% MSI Katana 15 (2023) Review
Källa: PC Mag EN→SV
If you're a strict utilitarian when it comes to gaming hardware, you can go right ahead and buy the MSI Katana 15. This gaming rig has substantial power and a fine price to match. Even if its design leaves a lot to be desired, it's not flimsy or frail or starved for cooling. Finding a similarly configured Lenovo Legion will likely provide a better all-around experience, but it's hard to ignore the price/performance ratio MSI brings to the table here (especially with a lower-end configuration selling for $999 at Micro Center(Opens in a new window)). For that, we highly recommend the 2023 MSI Katana 15...if you can see past the screen shortcomings.

80% MSI Katana 15 review — Phenomenal performance in a lackluster display
Källa: Laptop Mag EN→SV
The Katana 15 is a beast of a gaming laptop for those who refuse to spend anything over $2,000. With its phenomenal RTX 40-series graphics performance and great productivity scores, it’s hard to say no when faced with such powerful hardware at this price. We were also impressed by its aesthetically alluring design, satisfying keyboard, decent sound system, and its additional functionality that will make nitpicky gamers happy. The $1,599 price tag isn’t some sort of miracle, however, as the Katana 15’s incredible performance comes at the detriment of its battery life and display. Graphics performance is important, but it will feel nowhere near as impactful if the screen it’s attached to presents environments without their luster, while also being held back by shockingly dim peak brightness. Its sub-three hour battery life does it no favors, either. While you could just connect the laptop to a superior monitor or TV, if you’re looking for something with a gloriously colorful display and are willing to deal with worse gaming performance, we recommend the MSI Crosshair 15 R6E. If you don’t particularly care, the Katana 15 is an otherwise phenomenal gaming laptop.
