"15-inch laptops occupy an interesting spot in the world of PCs: they're not as compact as 14-inch laptops, but they're not as bulky as 16-inch machines, either. Still, consumers seem to prefer the other two sizes, which is a shame because computers of this size deliver a balanced experience: a good amount of immersion without being too cumbersome. Also: Why I'm still taking this 2024 Dell laptop to the office - even though it's for gamers This is where the comes in."
"Blocky design The first thing you'll notice with MSI's Katana 15 HX is its heft. It measures 14.13 x 10.21 x 1 inches and weighs 5.3 pounds. Much of its thick frame is accentuated with geometric shapes that make the laptop appear bulky. I don't think the machine can handle a lot of roughhousing, but it is tough enough to withstand the bumps that come with traveling."
"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."
Fifteen-inch laptops offer a middle ground between 14- and 16-inch models, delivering balanced immersion without excessive bulk. The MSI Katana 15 HX is a 15-inch midrange gaming laptop that houses next-generation hardware and presents a blocky, heavy chassis measuring 14.13 x 10.21 x 1 inches and weighing 5.3 pounds. The chassis features geometric accents and appears bulky but can withstand travel bumps. The bottom houses a 4-zone RGB full-size keyboard with translucent WASD keys and a touchpad 31% larger than the prior generation. One configuration uses a Full HD 144Hz panel covering 45% NTSC, producing dull, washed-out colors.
