"15-inch laptops occupy that sweet spot in the laptop world: they're not as compact as 14-inch laptops, but they're not as bulky as 16-inch machines, either. Still, consumers tend to gravitate toward the other two sizes, which is a shame because 15-inch laptops deliver a very balanced experience in my opinion. Also: I've never been a gaming PC guy, but this laptop changed my perspective for the better This is where the comes in. At a glance, the Katana looks like a run-of-the-mill gaming laptop. But it's unique in a variety of ways, namely that it is a 15-inch midrange gaming laptop housing next-gen hardware."
"On the bottom half of the laptop is a 4-Zone RGB full-size keyboard with translucent WASD keys. Each cap has a travel distance of 1.7mm, allowing for lighter key presses and nice analog feedback. Below is a touchpad that MSI says is 31% larger than the previous generation. Together, the Katana 15's keyboard and touchpad make for a decent pair. Nothing groundbreaking, but they manage to deliver an engaging experience."
The MSI Katana 15 HX targets the 15-inch sweet spot by combining midrange next-generation hardware with a solid, travel-ready build. The laptop is relatively hefty at 14.13 x 10.21 x 1 inches and 5.3 pounds, with a blocky geometric chassis that emphasizes toughness over portability. Input hardware includes a 4-zone RGB full-size keyboard with translucent WASD keys and 1.7mm key travel, plus a touchpad 31% larger than the previous generation. The keyboard and touchpad deliver an engaging experience without being groundbreaking. A low-end Full HD, 144Hz display option covers only 45% of the NTSC gamut, producing noticeably dull colors in games.
