Right now, at Amazon, you can find the 15-inch MSI Katana 15 gaming laptop at one of its lowest prices. This gaming laptop usually costs around $1,399, but today, it's been discounted to $1,199. According to CamelCamelCamel, this is the lowest price ever for the MSI Katana 15, but it's not the first time it's been this low.

We reviewed a slightly different version of the MSI Katana 15 last year and were very pleased with our overall experience, rating it at 4.5 out of 5 stars. It even made our list of best gaming laptops for 2024, ranking as our number one budget alternative pick. The price was already pretty reasonable; this discount only sweetened the deal.

The MSI Katana 15 has a 13th-generation Intel Core i7 processor and an RTX 4060 GPU. It's got a 1TB internal SSD for storage and 32 GB of DDR5. You can't beat this price for a gaming laptop in this class.

Under the hood of this gaming beast is an Intel i7-13620H, which is capable of reaching speeds as high as 4.9 GHz. This is paired with an RTX 4060 GPU, which outputs to a 15-inch screen. The panel has an FHD resolution and a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz.

It has a 1TB internal SSD and 32GB of LPDDR5 memory for storage. There are quite a few ports to choose from, including an HDMI port for video output, an Ethernet port for hardwired network connections, and a slew of USB ports. You've got a USB Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and one USB 2.0 Type-A port. A 3.5mm audio jack is included for connecting external audio peripherals as well.

    I gave up on laptops a long time ago. They basically became unusable within 2 years of purchase even when I was buying top of the line ones with the best processors and best GPUs.

    I doubt I am going to be jumping back in any time soon, but my understanding is that they have gotten much closer to desktop performance than they used to.

    I wonder if they will ever create some laptops that could end up with full PC power limits and thus close the gap in performance by creating them to accept external cooling loops that would allow the internal components to run at full standard PC power.

    "They basically became unusable within 2 years of purchase" ...... What?

    I'm sorry sir, but you don't know what you're doing then.
    That statement is absurd.

    Some company should promote the mini pc, instead of laptops. A lot of people only needs a portable, upgradable PC, and not an underpowered laptop.

    The industry has become really close to the mobile parts... some desktop graphics and cpus are basically a notebook part.

    I tell to people to sell the notebook after two years, because if they keep will be burned (notebook eventually breaks).
