Built for QHD gaming at 165 Hz

The Katana 15 pairs a 15.6 inch QHD panel running at 165 Hz with an Intel Core i7 14650HX processor and an RTX 5070 graphics card carrying 8 GB of GDDR7 memory. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR5 4800 system memory and a 2 TB PCIe SSD complete a configuration aimed at high-refresh competitive play and content creation on Windows 11 Home.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This machine fits gamers who want a 15.6 inch QHD 165 Hz display driven by a 16 core 24 thread CPU and RTX 5070 graphics. It also suits creators needing 16 GB DDR5 and a 2 TB PCIe SSD in a 5.29 pound chassis. Buyers needing a touchscreen, an SD card reader, a fingerprint reader or a lighter ultraportable form factor should consider other models.

Check your setup before ordering

Verify that your external monitors can accept a 2560 x 1440 signal over the HDMI port and that your peripherals work with three USB Type-A and two USB Type-C ports. Confirm your network infrastructure supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi or wired RJ45 Ethernet. Ensure you have space for a 14.13 by 10.31 by 0.99 inch footprint and a power outlet for the supplied adapter.

Questions about this item

What must I already own to use the 15.6 QHD 165Hz display and RTX 5070 graphics?

The laptop includes the 2560 x 1440 panel and GeForce RTX 5070 8GB GDDR7 built in, so no external monitor or GPU is required for them to work.

Will my existing USB Type-A peripherals still connect alongside the 2 x USB Type-C ports?

Yes, the chassis provides 3 x USB Type-A ports in addition to the 2 x USB Type-C ports, so older mice, keyboards and drives plug straight in.

How can I confirm the 165Hz refresh rate is active after Windows 11 setup?

Open Settings > System > Display > Advanced display and verify the refresh rate dropdown shows 165 Hz for the internal 15.6 QHD panel.
