Pros and cons

According to our laptop expert

You can play demanding games at 60 fps and stream your gameplay in Full HD with the RTX 4070 video card, the i7 processor, and 16GB RAM.
The 144Hz screen shows fast-moving images smoothly, which is useful for fast shooters.
Set your favorite colors on the RGB backlit keyboard with 4 adjustable zones, so that you can continue gaming in the dark in style.
To design 3D models in software like Unreal Engine, we recommend an Intel Core i9 or AMD Ryzen 9 processor.
We recommend at least an RTX 4080 or RX 6800 video card if you want to play the most demanding games.

Description

Play demanding games at 60 fps with the 15-inch MSI Katana15 B13VGK-1233NL gaming laptop. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 video card is powerful enough for that. In addition, you can stream your gameplay via Twitch in Full HD with the 13th generation Intel Core i7 processor and the 16GB DDR5 RAM. The screen of this MSI has a 144Hz refresh rate, so you can enjoy smooth and fast-moving images. That makes this laptop suitable for fast shooters and racing games, for example. You can also use this Katana in the evening. Choose your favorite colors on the RGB backlit keyboard with 4 adjustable zones, so you can still find the WASD keys in the dark. It doesn't matter which game you play, because you can install about 20 games of about 45GB on the 1TB M.2 SSD. Want to be sure the internet doesn't drop away while you game? Connect an Ethernet cable for wired internet via the Ethernet port.

Note: always connect the charger while gaming, or the performance won't be as good and the battery will drain in a couple of hours.

Play all your games at max settings, but pay attention to 2

Great graphics
RGB keyboard
Lots of storage space
Hinges feel vulnerable

I am really very satisfied with this gaming laptop. 1. You can play everything on the highest settings. 2. The price/quality is really good. You pay a lot more money for the components in it with another laptop. 3. The RGB can be adjusted to your own taste. 4. The sound that comes from the speakers is very good. Doesn't sound tinny or blurry. 5. The built-in microphone also sounds flawless.

My only 2 negatives:

The battery runs out quickly. It will be empty within a few hours. But in principle you keep a gaming laptop on the charger while playing games, so that in itself is not such an issue.
The laptop has 2 hinges on both sides. They do feel very vulnerable. You must take this into account and open and close the screen with care, because they could easily sustain damage.

All in all, I definitely recommend this laptop! I am extremely happy with it.
