15.6-inch FHD 144Hz Gaming Laptop

The MSI Katana 15 pairs a 15.6-inch 1920 x 1080 display running at 144Hz with an Intel Core i7 14650HX processor that has 16 cores and 24 threads. An NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 GPU with 8GB GDDR7 memory handles graphics workloads. The system ships with Windows 11 Home installed.

Black Chassis with RJ45 HDMI and USB 3.2 Gen2 Ports

The black chassis measures 14.13 x 10.31 x 0.99 inches and weighs 5.29 pounds. Connectivity includes one RJ45 Ethernet port, one HDMI 2.1 output, three USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C ports and one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A port. A backlit keyboard and 802.11ac Wi-Fi with Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 and Bluetooth 5.3 support daily peripheral use.

Cooler Boost 5 Thermal Design with Dual Fans

MSI's Cooler Boost 5 thermal design uses dual fans and enlarged heat pipes to manage heat from the CPU and RTX 5050 GPU during extended sessions. The 16GB DDR5 4800 memory and 2TB PCIe SSD operate within the same thermal envelope. Fan noise rises under load but remains controlled for a 15.6-inch gaming laptop.

Questions about this item

What HDMI version does the Katana 15 use and what refresh rate can it drive on an external 1080p display?

The HDMI 2.1 port supports up to 144 Hz at 1920 x 1080 resolution.

What are the chassis dimensions and weight so I can check bag fit?

The laptop measures 14.13 x 10.31 x 0.99 inches and weighs 5.29 pounds.

How is the DDR5 memory installed and which slot mistake do buyers make?

The 16 GB DDR5 4800 ships in a single SO-DIMM slot; adding a second stick requires populating the empty slot, not replacing the original.
