15.6-inch QHD 165 Hz gaming laptop

The MSI Katana 15.6" QHD 165Hz laptop targets gamers and creators who want high refresh-rate visuals in a portable chassis. It runs Windows 11 Pro and includes a 4-zone RGB keyboard with anti-ghost keys. A 55.2 Wh lithium-polymer battery powers the system. The black finish completes the understated look.

Intel Core i7-14650HX 16-core processor

The single specification that defines fit is the Intel Core i7-14650HX with 16 cores (8P+8E) and 24 threads, reaching up to 5.2 GHz. This CPU handles multi-threaded workloads and modern game engines without bottlenecking the discrete GPU. No other processor option exists for this configuration.

64 GB DDR5 5600 and 2 TB NVMe storage

The 64 GB DDR5 5600 memory and 2 TB PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe SSD provide ample headroom for large texture packs, virtual machines and concurrent applications. The 8 GB GDDR7 frame buffer on the RTX 5070 becomes the limiting factor at extreme resolutions or heavy ray-tracing loads.
