Strong Gaming Performance
I bought this to replace my old home-built gaming PC, which was starting to show its age after eight years of constant use and a couple of hardware upgrades. I’m very happy with the purchase overall. This laptop feels well-built (and is surprisingly heavy) and runs all of my games (mainly MMOs) at high-to-max graphic settings with around 90-100 fps.I was a little dismayed by how fast the battery drained after I unplugged it from the power adapter, but to be fair I was running two monitors and a fairly graphics-intense game with everything maxed. I have nothing bad to say. Well, the documentation was pretty sparse; for example, the programmable backlighted keys are controlled by software and it took me a frustrating ten minutes to figure that out for myself. Maybe that’s something I should have just known.This was offered at a good price with a couple of nice upgrades (64 Gigs RAM and a 2TB SSD) for around $300 less than other machines I was looking at with the same specs.

Great for gaming.
I have had the laptop for a few months now and everything works perfectly. I have run multiple video games on here including WoW, Stardew, Civ 5, and others with no issue. Graphics are fantastic, storage is great, and the laptop is attractive in its design. Excited to have a good laptop to game again!

HARD TO COME BY.
Recently purchased product to get back into gaming. ill be honest if you’re looking for 1080p gaming at its finest on a laptop, its hard to argue with this one. so far i’ve been using it for about one week. and i’ve played pretty reasonable games i believe (COD:MW3, HELLDIVERS 2, KILLING FLOOR 2, DYINGLIGHT, DESTINY 2) All of these games I’ve sat and played for at least 4 hrs each on high-ultra settings and it easily handles over 60 fps. HOWEVER i did get a cooling fan because i read previous over heat reviews before purchasing so i cant say if its loud or not while gaming just yet.surfing is a breeze. but ill be honest I’m not the consumer who has over 20 tabs open. i usually always consistently close browsers or delete unused apps. and i use a dual set up as well. even before i actually realized it was meant for 1080p gamingthe shipping came a day after it was suppose to arrive. however the packaging and everything was pristine. the looks pf the laptop feels very exclusive, sleek yet certain things feel mediocre? i feel like the body of the laptop feels a little on the low end in terms of quality giving for the parts that’s in it. The only concern i have with this laptop is the battery. i plugged it out while the game was running it was at 98 and i left for 20 minutes and it was sitting around 25. i don’t want to seem exaggerated but at a full charge the time on the system says 1 hr & 50 minutes…. and that’s before i run any programs or software. but after sitting down and running a couple games with the benchmarks and i have an xbox one series X as well. and in my opinion its really hard to argue with the value you get with this. i DO NOT regret this purchase.

Unstable fps. Windows 11. Bad delivery methods.
Before reading this review, keep in mind that the sample size is 1(ONE) laptop.I cannot say for certain that all laptops of these series are bad, but i can say that 100% of this series of laptops that i have purchased (1 btw) is complete dog poo.tl;dr-delivery is nightmare for working class stiff (unless WFH)-all this bloatware that comes pre-attached with windows 11, and nvidia drivers, as well as norton anti-virus (LOL) which you CANNOT shut off-frame rate in this copy was dog poo, (extremely unstable hitting lows of 30, highs of 200, average about 40fps)-absolutely chugging when it comes to, say, 100 tabs (don’t look at me like that, there are people like me out there)=was unable to test durability because it was returned in the first week=did not test battery life, as was plugged in from the start and being sent back=did not test speakers or keyboard or touchpad because i like my physical addons+1tb ssd seems cool i guess. people pay good money for this component alone+physically, structure is flat and airflow seems pretty decent without any addons+screen seems pretty huge for a laptopOverall 3/10mediocre for gamingterrible for workbad for multitaskingIf you want a computer that can do what this one does, buy an actual computer with parts you can change out.you’re paying a huge premium to have this amount of tech be portable.Unnecessary Rant:Why on earth does a 1,300$ laptop “made” “FOR GAMING” hit 30 fps in ye-olden games such as-dota 2-league of legends (literally made with potato pc’s in mind)-Team fortress 2Admittedly ran Battlefield 2042 pretty well with minor hiccups, but i run every game at min settings??sure, it hits 200 fps (ON OCCASION), but the monitor’s refresh rate is 144??? so what’s the point of going all the way up to 200 and then shooting down to 30????The fps simply isn’t stable, and jumps from 30 to 200, averaging maybe 40 from what i can tell?Last 7 year old msi laptop that was literally coming apart at the seams was performing better in these games, and it was gtx 1060. I bought this laptop to replace it, thinking i was buying cutting edge.the only thing it cut was my wallet.Also prone to freezing when simply alt tabbing from games to work, and freezing when loading too many tabs on browser of your choice (admittedly, this was a limit test of hardware capabilities)Delivery was a nightmare, though it was the better of two evils.Amazon delivery gave prediction from 0800-2200 of certain day, so I had to call out of work.I did not respond in the 5 minute window in which they told me delivery man was present (partially my fault i guess, but a 5 minute window from a 14 hour window???)next day, i took another day off from work to sit outside 40 mins in advance (when notification said delivery driver was 9 stops away).Amazon driver required my passcode to be entered into his device before he could give me the item.The other option was to leave it on doorstep and pray a porch pirate does not find it, which would be worse.Recommended to buy this stuff directly from a store, or utilize a third party drop off.

Great hardware for the price. Also, better resolution than expected.
I just got this laptop today. While setting it up I came to the realization that its running at 2560×1440 resolution.The product details say that its native resolution is 2560×1440 – but it says the resolution is 1080p.I totally those thought was a 1920×1080 display, but its actually much better than I expected.Haven’t had a chance to use it for games yet, but so far everything seems good.

Llego en tiempo y forma, es muy buena compra. Especialmente si la ocupas para, arquitectura, ingenierÃa o gaming. Un punto en contra es su peso, y que es 100% de plástico a diferencia de la ROG Strix 16″ y por el precio la Katana ya deberÃa de tener aluminio.Procesador: Ryzen 7Gráfica: 4060 8GB VRAM

Muy mal producto, a las pocas veces de uso dejó de prender y no hay quien solucione la garantÃa en México, asà que no lo recomiendoActualización: Al final sà se pudo tramitar la garantÃa en México, la empresa reparó el equipo y pagó los envÃos, ya todo funcionando

Llego con las especificaciones correctas y llego dos DÃas antes de lo prometido
David Diaz –
Muy buenas especificaciones. No he tenido ningún inconveniente en este primer mes de uso. Funciona súper rápido con programas como Revit Autocad y Twinmotion. El único detalle es que en algunas ocasiones siento que se sobrecalienta mas de lo que deberÃa y la baterÃa prácticamente no rinde mucho. Si está en oferta súper recomendable
