MSI Katana 15 gaming laptop 15.6" 165Hz QHD+ i9-14900HX RTX 5070 12GB 64GB 2TB

15.6" 165Hz QHD+ gaming laptop

The MSI Katana 15 pairs a 15.6 inch 165Hz QHD+ anti-glare IPS panel with an Intel Core i9-14900HX processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics. It ships with 64GB of memory and a 2TB PCIe SSD. Windows 11 Home and an Office 2024 licence are pre-installed. The 4-zone RGB keyboard and 720p webcam complete the package for gamers and creators who need high refresh visuals and multi-threaded CPU power in a portable chassis.

Upgrade from 60Hz panels and mid-range GPUs

Moving from a standard 60Hz display to the 165Hz QHD+ panel reduces motion blur in fast titles, while the RTX 5070 with 12GB GDDR7 lifts frame rates above what previous mobile GPUs delivered at this resolution. The 24-core i9-14900HX replaces 8-core or 12-core mobile chips, cutting compile and render times for developers and video editors. The jump is worth it when your workload demands both high refresh gaming and heavy multi-threaded throughput.

Build-ready connectivity and expansion

A single HDMI 2.1 output drives an external high-refresh monitor, while three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C handle peripherals and fast storage. Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 cover wired and wireless networking. The 2TB PCIe SSD and 64GB DDR5 leave no immediate need for storage or memory upgrades, freeing the single M.2 slot for future expansion if required.
