MSI Katana 15.6 inch 144Hz Gaming Laptop Intel Core i7-14650HX NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 16GB DDR5 512GB SSD Black (2025)

I bought this game to play path of exile 2 and football club 26 (FC26) when I’m on the go travelling. I’ve been very happy and run both games on very high settings. Games run smooth and even plugging it into the TV with HDMI and sitting and couch gaming with a controller works extremely well. Great value and flexibility at this price point.

Officially one month since I purchased this laptop and the ONLY negative I can think of is the battery life, however poor bad life is to be expected in gaming laptops - they're really meant to stay plugged in for the majority of the time. I will say, that if you use the battery saving features they have in the MSI center, then you can get some decent time out of it though. On to everything else.. I mean it's a powerful laptop, especially for the price. I haven't got less than 200FPS on any game I've played (to be fair, I've only played CS2, Overwatch, and PUBG). It runs everything amazingly. The screen and colors are great. The keyboard is nice. I upgraded the RAM to 32gb and it was a simple process. The MSI center is great: you can modify your system to optimize performance, to balance performance and battery life, or to prioritize battery life. There's built in overclocking. There's more features but you get the point. TLDR? Poor battery life (but that will be every gaming laptop you find) - Everything else is perfect. 200FPS on CS2, Overwatch, and PUBG. Runs everything beyond my satisfaction. MSI center allows for system enhancement, overclocking, etc. GOOD BUY/10
