msi Katana GF66 15.6" 144Hz 3ms FHD Gaming Laptop: Intel Core i5-11400H RTX3050 8GB 512GBNVMe SSD Win10 - Black

About the seller: My order was fulfilled by Adorama. I ordered the GF76 with 12700H and RTX 3060 configuration. It came with fast shipping, was in the original manufacture sealed packaging, and hardware was as advertised. RTX 3060 says 105W in Nvidia control panel, which has been upgraded from 85W from previous Katana models. CPU, RAM, and SSD are also correct. About the item: Pros: absolute bargain for the CPU and GPU you are getting IMO. The silicon is the main selling point for me and I got a 8,596 score on Time Spy using balanced setting, external monitor, and a cooling pad. I am very happy with that in a bargain gaming laptop. Love the 17.3" 144Hz screen. It's great to code and game on. I can achieve nearly as good Aim Lab scores on this laptop as my 3070 desktop with a 280Hz monitor. Keyboard feels great. And I enjoy the styling. Cons: because you are getting a great CPU and GPU at this price compromises must be made. The screen is "IPS-level" which is market speak for TN, meaning colors, contrast, and brightness aren't the best. Don't expect an OLED. The battery is small, 53Wh. Higher end laptops have 90Wh. The case is made of cheap plastic. The trackpad is small, but still precise and responsive. Summary: If your priorities are similar to mine (GPU, CPU, large and high refresh rate display) and you care less about the other stuff, this may be the laptop for you.

Decent laptop especially for the price, eventually gave it to my brother after upgrading. Obviously battery life isn't going to be the best for gaming so ideally I personally keep mines plugged in unless I'm travelling. Weight ain't so bad, and the size is quite fine and good for when I'm out and about, pair it with a decent laptop cooler or fan platform and you're solid.

I haven't played any really taxing games on it yet but I must say that the fans are a LOT quieter just surfing the web and lightly using the laptop than I thought they would be. Very impressed. The screen seems nice and bright and everything is rocket fast. WiFi throughput with my old FiOS router is good and it boots up very quickly. The only con I've noticed so far is that the cord from the power brick to the (left side of the) computer is just a hair too short. Very happy with this purchase.

This was my FIRST, and LAST, MSI machine purchase. For some reason, I had in my mind that MSI puts out a quality product. I used to have a roommate that would constantly be PC gaming, and I remember him using an MSI. That's where I developed this incorrect idea. MSI is, from my personal experience, a waste of time & a company that manufactures & sells a GARBAGE product! You have to shut off all of the lights in the room and still SEARCH to see the miniscule power LED on the side of the machine. (WTF?) I used two separate Logitech keybard+mouse sets (including one brand new one), and for both, the PC would very consistently, albeit randomly, begin ignoring my commands/keystrokes for minutes at a time. Also, I live alone, but every morning when I would first boot the machine, I'd get a message, "you've made too many attempts to log in." WTF? I just turned the machine on, FFS! Speaking of ignoring my commands, and doing its own BS thing, I am 100% certain that I put the machine to SLEEP before placing it in my laptop backpack. Lo & behold, when I pulled it out, the fans were spinning & there was the smell of burnt circuit board coming out the bottom.

It has a dedicated GPU but it goes through the Intel CPUs built-in gpu. It doesn’t have a mux switch so you can’t get it to directly use the dedicated GPU which is leagues above the Intel GPU. It essentially uses the dedicated GPU to process most of the graphics and sends it to the Intels GPU to let it do the rest. Couldn’t figure out how to get it to really perform that well though at first but after some googling I figured it out. You have to go through several settings in various places and set it to maximum performance. If it’s your first PC it’ll probably be confusing. It’s not the best of the best but it’s pretty good for it’s price.

Great computer for what I need, a bit of gaming, work and school. Battery life is not amazing, but that shouldn’t be a problem. Set up was a bit of with the drivers for the GPU, but once through the hoops with Windows I’m happy. Runs smooth, does what I want.

I use this for gaming and streaming (mainly Fortnite). It handles everything I throw at it and I have no complaints.

Beautiful screen, fast processing. Witcher 3? 120 fps. Can run lost ark with 70-110 fps with a twitch stream running on a second monitor. League of legends? 240 fps steadily. Amazing device for an amazing price.

اخذت واحد وصار فيه مشكله بالشاشه ورجعته الحمدلله

Actualmente la estoy probando y estoy satisfecho. Viene incluido el Windows 11 [no me ha dado problemas] y hasta el momento se siente todo fluido, estéticamente la lap se ve bonita, pero solo hay algunos puntos a evaluar: el chasis es todo de plástico y se ensucia fácilmente, el teclado solo brilla de color rojo y tiene pocas entradas usb. No obstante, me decidí adquirir esta lap ya que es de las primeras en traer el nuevo procesador de 12va generación, por lo que es una inversión que tendrá más tiempo en operatividad sin caer en la obsolescencia. Te da la oportunidad de expandir la memoria SSD ya que tiene dos ranuras y puedes expandir la RAM hasta 64 gb, lo cuál pienso hacer en un futuro. No viene con programas basura y todo se siente muy limpio. Todavía no pruebo el gaming, pero estoy seguro que no me va a decepcionar. La pantalla se ve y se siente muy linda de ver, y eso que siempre tengo el filtro contra luz azul activado. Es una laptop ligera y pienso que el enfriamiento del equipo está bien logrado. El sonido es bastante potente si lo configuras adecuadamente. En algo más de tiempo espero actualizar mi comentario, para ayudar a quien lo necesite. Saludos Actualizo mi comentario sobre el gaming hoy 16/12/2022 Ya lo probé lo suficiente, jugué juegos como halo infinite, doom eternal y gears of war. Todo está perfecto, evidentemente tiene que estar conectado a la red eléctrica y los ventiladores van a todo lo que dan. Pero con el sonido de la laptop u audífonos, eso no es un problema. El calentamiento es normal y no es molesto.

Funciona muy bien, uso android estudio y sin problemas, solo para que mejore compren una memoria ram extra y sin problemas tienes una computadora para bastante tiempo, lo único malo es que no dura la batería pero eso es por todo lo que tiene integrado.

Me encanta, la uso más para productividad que para jugar pero funciona perfectamente para ambos. La única observación que tengo es que no tiene usc c thunderbolt.

Muy buen producto llego en excelentes condiciones y funciona muy bien, el unico detalle de mi parte es que cuanto mas angulo abras la pantalla esta pegar con la base donde la tengas puesta.
