15.6-inch QHD 165Hz gaming laptop

This MSI Katana 15 is a 15.6-inch gaming laptop with a QHD display running at 165Hz. It uses an Intel Core i7-14650HX processor with 16 cores and 24 threads reaching 5.2 GHz.

Suits high-refresh competitive play.

The 165Hz QHD panel suits competitive gamers who value motion clarity at native resolution. The 16-core CPU and RTX 5070 GPU deliver high frame rates in modern titles. Buyers who need an SD card reader for media workflows should look elsewhere. The single USB Type-C port limits dock connectivity for multi-screen setups.

Single USB Type-C port limits dock expansion

The laptop provides only one USB Type-C port alongside three USB Type-A ports, one HDMI output, one RJ-45 Ethernet jack and a headset combo jack. This port count restricts simultaneous peripheral and external display connections. Buyers planning a desktop-style docking station should verify their hub requirements against this single Type-C interface.
