MSI Katana GF66 Laptop

The MSI Katana GF66 offers powerful performance in a $1,399 laptop. However, its dull 15.6-inch display, lackluster speakers and short battery life let it down.

The MSI Katana GF66 offers superior performance thanks to a 12th-Gen Intel Core i7 processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics. Plus, it comes equipped with 16GB of RAM and 512GB storage for added convenience.

Processor

The MSI Katana GF66 is one of the most affordable Ows laptops on the market. Its plain plastic black lid conceals an engraved MSI logo and red keyboard lighting for added visual impact.

At 2.25 kg, this keyboard is quite lightweight and comes in a small package for portability. However, don’t be fooled by its lightness – its base proved surprisingly robust with no major flex during typing sessions.

The RTX 3060 is an impressive graphics card for 1080p games. With Ultra settings, it’s capable of pushing AAA titles up to triple-digit frame rates on AAA titles, while with some tweaking you could likely achieve 240Hz refresh rate as well.

Graphics Card

The MSI Katana GF66 gaming laptop features an 11th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card, designed to optimize performance and deliver smooth in-game motion. These components work together in sync for optimal gaming experiences.

The MSI Katana GF66’s graphics card provides a frame rate of 60 frames per second (FPS), making it an excellent choice for gaming laptops and more than enough to run most modern titles at full settings.

The GF66 comes in various configurations, so you can pick the one that meets your requirements best. For instance, if all you need is a gaming laptop with an Intel Core i7 processor and graphics card from Nvidia, then the GF66 11UD can be had for PS999.

Storage

The MSI Katana GF66 comes equipped with up to 1TB of SSD memory that works much faster than standard hard disk drive storage capacity, giving users ample room for saving important data without any worries. Plus, its 53Wh battery provides up to 8 hours continuous use and it is compatible with Windows 11, offering features like the Windows Store, Microsoft Edge, Mail, Cortana personal assistant, Xbox, Office Apps, Tablet mode Action center and Unified Settings – which enable you to monitor, adjust, optimize and customize your laptop according to your preferences.

Battery

MSI Katana GF66 boasts an impressive battery capacity of 4700mAh 53.5 Wh, enabling you to work and play for longer between charges. Plus, its Li-ion cells don’t experience memory effects for premium performance and increased lifespan.

Additionally, this motherboard is certified as an original Msi to ensure perfect compatibility with your computer equipment. Furthermore, its high specific energy comes from its lack of memory effect.

Maintain your battery’s lifespan by keeping it dry and cool. Avoid placing it near magnetic fields such as television sets, as this can significantly shorten its usefulness.
