Line Katana A15 AI B8VG

The MSI Katana A15 AI B8VG gaming laptop series is a comprehensive high-tech solution for experienced gamers seeking a mobile alternative to a powerful desktop PC. The hardware platform of the laptops is based on modern 8-core AMD Ryzen 7/Ryzen 9 processors (Hawk Point family, Zen 4 architecture), which exceed the computational power requirements for most everyday tasks. The GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card allows for comfortable gameplay in modern projects with high graphics settings, while 16/32 GB of DDR5 RAM and a fast 1TB SSD ensure quick loading of games and applications.

Like all Ada Lovelace series graphics cards, the RTX 4070 supports hardware ray tracing and DLSS 3 technology, which includes an image upscaler and the FrameGen AI system, capable of boosting game frame rates several times when raw performance is lacking. Despite using fairly powerful components, all laptops are equipped with rather simple 15.6-inch IPS displays with 1080p resolution, standard color rendering (45% NTSC), wide viewing angles, and an enhanced refresh rate of 144Hz. Additional features of the Katana A15 laptops include a gaming keyboard with customizable 4-zone backlighting, a LAN port for direct network connection, and free slots for installing additional RAM and a second SSD drive.
