76% Geek Review: MSI Katana 17 Gaming Laptop
Source: Geek Culture EN→zh-CN
A great pick for gaming, but not so much for everything else. The MSI Katana 17 shows great promise at becoming one of the sharpest blades on the market, but ultimately falls short of its potential with an underwhelming display performance.

MSI Katana 17 (B12V) review – affordable notebook with a MUX switch
Source: Laptop Media EN→zh-CN
As a gaming notebook in 2023, the Katana 17 (B12V) is fairly competitively priced. It offers wide configuration options based on capable GPUs from NVIDIA’s RTX 4000 roster. It’s worth mentioning that its RTX 4060 didn’t manage to fill its 105W TGP limit, but it ran pretty close with 85W detected by GPU-Z during full load. For all performance-based tests, we used the Extreme Performance preset through the MSI Center. Interestingly, there is a function that allows the use of a battery-saving display mode, which runs the screen at 60Hz. As a result, the device offers 6 hours and 30 minutes of Web browsing, or 5 hours and 30 minutes of video playback – about 50% better than the MSI Sword 17 (A12V), which lacks this function. MSI Katana 17 (B12V)’s IPS panel has a Full HD resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and good contrast. Unfortunately, it covers only 51% of the sRGB color gamut, and has slow pixel response times, despite the 144Hz refresh rate. On the bright side, the panel doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment.

BEST Price for an RTX 4070 Laptop with 32GB of RAM! MSI Katana 17 B13V
Source: Ben G Kaiser
In this video, I'm going to go through a complete review of the performance, screen, user experience, and best use case of the MSI Katana 17 B13V. This laptop is packed with performance and at currently (as of the recording of this video) priced at $1,299. For an RTX 4070, i7-13620H CPU, and 32GB of RAM that is an incredible price.
