I regret buying my MSI Katana 15

Yeah the Katana series is basically a desktop replacement disguised as laptop lol. For portable RTX 5050 options you might want to check ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 or maybe Dell XPS 15 if you can find one with discrete graphics - both are way lighter than MSI gaming laptops but still pack decent performa

Left my macbook at home and took my t420 to uni to show those gaming laptop bros who’s boss

Laptop recommendations

If you don't need it for portability, might a smaller format desktop be a good option? As in a mini-ATX or even micro ATX formfactor. If you want a "beast" computer, a laptop is generally not the way to go. I know you said budget is not an issue, but laptops that run that well will set you back a co

Sword 15 - Are this temperatures on the CPU normal?

No. I have the same laptop, well same series i guess. Mine is called MSI Katana 15 B13VGK with i9 13900H and 4070. And even for gaming, it never hits 95°C, usually at 93 then drop to 88-89°C.

Im wondering about your FPS

Damn that's pricey! There's nothing wrong with a laptop, there is some good gaming laptop and better than what you have for cheaper. 1400$ for this, you got robbed, sorry. I have some recommendations for you, in case you want to change in the future: Lenovo Thinkpad P15 i7 - 1100$Asus TUF Gamin A17

What is the best performing Nvidia driver for 40 series cards?

También tengo problemas con mi msi katana 15 con 4050, de vez en cuando me da pantallazos negros unos segundos como se se desconectara el cargador, mi solución fue hacer undervolt pero quise buscar otra alternativa para no bajarle la frecuencia de trabajo a la gráfica. Tuviste suerte ?

Getting this for €1519. Is it worth it or the price is inflated right now?

That seems expensive. I bought a MSI Katana 15 with 14650HX, 5070, 32GB RAM and QHD 165Hz for £1300 last month.

My msi katana 15 b13vfk keeps freezing in games

I have katana 15 b12vgk. It has the same issue. Happens without discord ram leaking. It happens with most games but some games like PS exclusive ports, RE engine games, Atlas Games works just fine without encountering Freezing or BSOD. I’m sending to get it serviced at MSI Authorized Center

MSI Katana 15 screen bleeding getting worse

i dealt with this exact thing on a katana. spreading backlight bleed isnt normal and should be covered under warranty since its a manufacturing defect. dont let them tell you its acceptable. contact msi support asap while youre still under warranty. they will likely replace the whole screen assembly
