We once again collaborate with MSI to show you their brand new MSI Katana 15HX, filled to the brim with cool AI features, and solid performance for every situation.
"This is the Katana 15HX, a budget-friendly heavy hitter from MSI.
The MSI Katana 15HX V14W is a gaming laptop at its core, but it remains versatile enough for everyday use, whether in the classroom or on a conference call. It sports a sleek modern design with a sharp profile that balances style and performance. Inside, it houses one of the most powerful processors available today, the Intel i9-14900HX, a 24-core CPU capable of reaching up to 5.8GHz, paired with an NVIDIA RTX 5070 graphics card. This combination delivers ample processing power to ensure smooth performance in AAA titles, enhanced further by modern upscaling technologies and ray tracing. This laptop also knows when to use all of its power, or when to switch to a power-efficient mode. This means better battery life and less heat generated. The 15.6-inch QHD display offers a 165Hz refresh rate and 100% DCI-P3 colour reproduction, making it well-suited for both gaming and creative work. And by having the latest NVIDIA RTX graphics card with NVIDIA Reflex, the latency between mouse click and action on the display is reduced multiple times to mere milliseconds. With the use of NVIDIA's DLSS4 technology, the MSI Katana is capable of high frame rates even in the newest AAA games, as well as utilising the latest ray tracing systems available in order to give an immersive gaming experience. An example of this is in Star Wars Outlaws, where the use of frame generation will take you from 49fps in ultra-graphical settings and a resolution of 1440p, to 139fps with frame generation turned on. Which is an insane increase, or in short, you get a lot more frames without compromising on image quality. Connectivity includes three USB-A ports, one USB-C port, HDMI, an audio combo jack and an ethernet port too. This means that no matter if you need to connect to a TV, a gaming monitor, a projector, the MSI Katana 15 can do it all. The keyboard comes with a touchpad that's 31% larger than previous models and features four zones of RGB lighting."
"Modelling is managed by the MSI CoolerBoost 5 system, which uses oversized heatpipes to efficiently dissipate heat. And finally, the storage is handled by a Gen 4 NVMe SSD, ensuring fast load times and reliable performance for modern games and applications. Getting a next gen gaming experience with NVIDIA RTX 57 and DLSS4 in games like Dune The Dark Ages, FBC Firebreak or Dune The Awakening can now be done in a portable platform with the MSI Katana."
"So there you have it, RTX 5070 graphics power combined with a hardcore gaming CPU, all in a portable and still reasonably priced package.
So there you have it, an RTX 5070 GPU, a CPU that will deliver the horsepower that you need to game, all wrapped in a portable and pretty reasonably priced package."
