MSI for life
This is my second MSI gaming laptop , the first one lasted well over 5 years and was still going strong. The MSI katana 17 B12U is absolutely epic for the price , add a few hundred extra and youve got 2.5 Tb of SSD and 40 Gb ramm.
Plays wow on max at 150-200FPS Enshrouded on quality at 40- 70 FPS.
people say the fans are loud but i hardly notice, i would prefer noisey fans as i know shes cranking. I have mine sitting on a cooling station and under peak loads , its only around 60degrees .
will be buying msi again in the future.
biggest pro- Minimal or no bundled software like with an HP etc.
Awesome gaming laptop with a great price
Laptop runs very smoothly on my games. Took it away camping and would last for several movies on the battery which was a definite bonus! Good build quality and no complaints at all. Highly recommend this little guy if you're after a gaming laptop on a budget.
Good performance with large screen
This laptop falls within my budget, offering a generously sized screen ideal for both work and gaming. I'm delighted with my purchase and its capabilities.
Let down by poor screen
Very powerful laptop, ideal for running Diablo 4.
But the screen is awful!
I thought you couldn't go wrong with an IPS panel, but everything is tinted yellow and colours are dull.
Apparently this is a consistent issue with MSI.
I wish I knew that and didn't buy this. But there are currently no alternative 17" gaming laptops.
The only workaround I found is in Intel Graphics Command Centre, increasing Contrast on Blue by +4. Makes photos look good again.
In terms of speed, the RTX 3000 series have DLSS AI built in. Enabling that in games gets you 30% more frame rate easily.
I get 100 - 125 FPS on Ultra Setting 1080p in Diablo 4 which i...view more
