Thank you for the ranking list I really appreciate the detailed listing of every model please keep the list update,,, looking forward hope you will maintain separate lists of upcoming years.
Yeah, it is an excellent price. ASUS ROG ZEPHYRUS M16, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 currently costs 2498 EUR in Budapest, Hungary. Thank you for all the great laptop reviews and the ranking list!
how much is the 4070 M16 in Budapest ? I might visit in a few weeks
@@bojovic78 No 4070 M16, but 4090 M16 is available for 6256 EUR...Crazy prices!
Hungary isn't the place to go shopping because of high taxes
@@SerCommander Where do you suggest going to buy one of these new laptops ? Here in Serbia the taxes are even higher than hungary
13:00 if you contact the service center and ask to deliver the M2 to this slot, they will deliver it: this is how MSI support answered
Finally you’re not doing 4090s anymore. 4090s are a waste of time. 4060/4070/4080 are the ones that will capture the overwhelmingly majority of the audience as those are the ones we’ll be looking at buying.
The cheaper 4090's might be good enough value... Omen 17 has a 4090 at $2749.
My rtx 2070 laptop told me that the whole rtx 40 laptop series is a waste of money and that I should wait for amd rx 7800M.
@@hamzahkab1525 🤨??
@@GizmoSlipTech omen is ass, that would probably perform worst than the best 4080
@@GizmoSlipTech I could put up with a little flex and a few fingerprints for that price to performance.
IMO MSIs lower end gaming laptop line is absolutely perfect to get you the hardware you need in a form factor you can move around with. I've just ordered this one to replace my 2060 GL65 leopard. I've got a room upstairs with an ext display and another in the living room, this is perfect for switching between the two.
yeah, exactly
I use my PC like a console most of the time, plugged into a tv or a monitor (depending on whether or not my gf is using the tv) with a controller and I just bought this Katana to replace my desktop, mostly so it’s easier to carry between the rooms and to take for an occasional trip, usually to a place that has a tv anyway so weak screen and battery are not going to be problems other than in some rare cases like playing in a long train ride with no power outlets (most trains do have them where I live)
i think these laptops are perfect for people like me - I tear them like basically ultra portable desktops with the highest bang for buck with the “laptop” functionality being a nice to have to use in a pinch
So glad you did this video. My house recently burned down and I’m going to be getting a new PC, I had a very low end pc with a 1060 3GB and had wanted to upgrade for a while. Good video
"pretty good" he says, man im astounded at the lake of amusement from people... Im blown away by this performance. A laptop running Cyberpunk at ultra settings with raytracing at over 100fps? Holy balls
THanks a lot , Im 56 year old and cant see now as a teen lol, but you help me upgrade my RTX 2070 to this 4070 that is 45% average better , im not even looking to watch 8K , and i dont think many of us humans can . subscribed, see ya
I brought this laptop after watching your video. Its been put so well.
I wanted to stream games and this laptop had perfectly fit in the space.
Thanks a lot.

Is it worth it what was going to be your second buy ? I’m planning to get this or the gigabyte aero those laptops are beasts creator/gaming laptops
Really liked your summary at the end in one sentence. Perfect. Would LOVE to know if this laptop would be suitable for dual monitors, through some USB-hub setup. I don't even care if the laptop itself is open. I'm a coder and occasional gamer, but I don't care much about graphic quality as much as I do the game just running. (I have an MSI GL65 95DK now, and it's getting long in the tooth.)
Thanks for the video, i stil wanna know if the laptop makes loud noise under heay presure, thanks in advance!
Ordered the msi katana 15 i7 /4070 /16gb ram. For 1255 €. It's the best bang for your buck and I have ext.displays and an oled TV. Perfect for me. Thanks for showing how to overclock and get much better performance. The ghosting is due to the pixel response time of 33ms unfortunately. Btw you can order a m2 bracket for free from msi to use the second m2 slot. Don't ask me why they are not giving you the part already. ☮️
Hey I see there's a qhd version being released in November in Aus. Curious if you have tried the one with the better screen?
To get the 2nd SSD installed you have to message MSI support for the bracket, weird it didn't come with the laptop
As someone who pretty much always uses the laptop with an external display/keyboard and only uses it on its own when im out needing to do notes for lectures, this has got to be the laptop for me right, my max budget is like 1.3k GDP, and i can get this for 1.13k, i know the legion 5 pro i think may be better but i'm in the UK ofc so i can't get that
I just bought this exact laptop but with an RTX 4060 instead of 4070, super excited cause it looks great!
Thanks for review, do you know is this laptop support Oculus Rift S ?
Hello i bought this without knowing the screen is a bit bad , the quality not so much but the nits is the thing bothering me , its dim. I just got the computer and i think its got glitches , when i play music it sounds like the computer freezes for a milisecond and it translates to the music , it is driving me crazy ! Im thinkin of sending it back , or do you think it will correct it self with the auto updates ? Am i correctly thinking that when time passes they correct said glitches?? It also doesnt download the rgb app so im stuck with how it came. Tyvm for answering.
Hi. I get confused with two laptops. One Rog G16 With RTX 4060 115 watts and one this you reviewed (MSI B12VGK with 12650H and RTX 4070 105 watts.) Which one more powerful than others ? And more future proof atleast for 5 years all games. Thanks
Anyone with answers please?
Just found out the new Katana 15 with the RTX4070 gpu and the Intel i7 13th gen at Amazon. Perfect price. Thanks.
Did you buy it bro? How is the performance and display quality if so!
.@@jaidonyt3981
Cyberpunk 4k 45 FPS
How is the screen please
Hi, this laptop has had a refresh and the new laptop offers 165 hz 100% dci-p3, now that the the screen looks the best, is this a good buy ?
Thank you for the concise conclusion - no one else understands such concept.
Final summary about who should buy the 4070 is good. I did exactly that. I bought it during an Amazon sale for the GPU because I didn't really care about the display. I wanted that extra GPU strength over display, and got it at $200 cheaper because of the sale.
The GPU only runs max 105W. The Asus TUF 4070 GPU runs max 145W
Does it thermal throttle ?
Should i get asus rog strix i7 13650hx with 4060 or msi katana 4070 i7 13620h , i need it for video editing and gaming
Hey, would it be worth it to buy it now in 2024? I want to buy a gaming laptop and this one is the cheapest where I live (thailand) with a 4070. It's priced at 1000 USD, what do you think I should do? The other option at the same price would be a Gigabyte Aorus with a 4060 and a 13th gen i7. Thanks
Which is the best msi gaming laptop for gaming in all the things, can someone tell me
quick question can you change the rgb and turn it fully off
This things at the microcenter near my house for $899.. Thing it's a deal? I don't want to downgrade to a monitor that doesn't have adaptive sync and I am not seeing anything about it's support for this laptop.
I wonder if I should buy this one or strix g17 4060 which provide much higher quality of display😅
Is the Katana better or the Lenovo Legion slim with same spec better?
I hope you make review of the pulse 15 as well in comparison to this laptop. since it almost has the same specs.
Wich is better, this laptop of video, or katana 15 b13 with i7-13 and rtx 4060?
You can have a second SSD if you buy a support bar.
This place and the connection was thinking for hard drive first. That's why this area looks empty
I got this thing for 1300€. Big decider was the 4070 with its frame generation. All other choices either had a way worse GPU or insanely higher price... so I call this a steal.. even if it has some thermal issues, I'll just put a cooling pad under it.
From the UK think I may buy this as well, BTW what were your thoughts on the display
sadly really not good... but absolutely good enough. However if you want to use it as your main station for playing games at home just get a additional monitor. It even has HDMI 2.1 in case you get one of them 4K HDR thingies @@reubenwizard
Unfortunately the display is meh. But I have several monitors. The pixel response time is 33ms which is bad. ☮️
is it worth buying if I have a good 4K monitor?
Wait, you can undervolt the 12650h ??
Damnit. It cost 1700 for katana and 2000 dollars for pulse here at Japan.
I'm so frustrated.
How is the battery life
I just found out that the screen is upgradable. I think this laptop plus $100 screen upgrade would be the best bang for the buck
There's a 2k LCD replacement with 165hz for around $100. It was intended for B13VGK but I think it can fit into B13VFK as it uses the same 40pins LCD connector in the same place.
Is there now? I am intrigued, where can one find this replacement :O
@@HazardWolfCorp If you are from the US, i gues eBay might be your best bet. Majority of LCDs are manufactured in China (including the shitty IPS level MSI used). I am from Indonesia and it is quite easy to get one from my local e-commerce website.
How’s the noisy? It is loud?
As an ESDF user I hate WASD keys highlighted in that way, just leave it uniform. Genuinely puts me off buying something
How is this compared to TUF 15, with same RTX 4070 but 12th gen i7?
I own a MSI GS 63VR with a GTX 1060 which I bought used on eBay in 2017. It has the same crappy display this thing appears to have. I'm almost sure it's the same panel haha. The keyboard on this model appears to be almost the same type as the laptop I have from 2017. The point being not much has changed. I've used my old laptop with an external display because the built in screen is unbearable. I can't believe I'm considering buying and going through this again. But that horsepower for the price.
you got a subscriber oyt of me great work.
I wanna this but I'm worried about the other slot to nvme. It is so weird!
Can I buy this and connect it to a better screen instead? I'd like to use it when I'm travelling as well.
Of couse, but when traveling you would probably be forced to use laptop screen.
can this handle my 2k monitor for 60fps gaming?
Which is better? This MSI, or ACER Nitro 16 Ryzen 7 RTX 4070?
I bought the Katana 15 RTX 4070 QHD 165Hz model this Christmas, fits in my budget, and its performance is not bad.
I'm also interested in that model, what do you mean by not bad in terms of performance?
you can ask MSi for the bracket to install the second SSD, its free but you gotta ask them. From what I understand, theres a manufacture defect as far as the second SSD slot is concerned
I did it, received the bracket in less than one week and installed the second ssd! No issues or defects found, the two ssds are working perfectly!
You remove that block and MSI support will send you the bracket to upgrade the ssd m.2 for free if you go to them with your product serial number
16GB DDR5 ram how many MHz ?
what’s better? this or the msi crosshair 16
Kinda punching in the dark here to see if you'd respond and or know of this issue:
With the same model of laptop I have up-to-date drivers (NVIDIA and BIOS)
I am experiencing a black screen during gaming which turns all of my external and regular display off (and just the laptop display when no external displays are connected) and am forced to restart my laptop by holding the power button.
There are multiple forums/threads opened about this issue however no one seems to have found a resolution from which I've found - do you happen to know? or anyone else in the comments, help would be much appreciated!
I did not have this issue. Maybe try switching mux setting? Sounds like driver crashing maybe? Contact MSI support
Whats the peak brightness
When are the black friday sales in Us market? Oct or Nov?
Around nov 24th typically

I have this PC exactly did u do other settings in BIOS that i didnt see like changing tdp which is at 45 ?
Any plans to do the zephyrus duo 16?
Yep
I have the possibility to buy a msi crosshair 15 with rtx 4070 and i7 12650h at my dealer but i cant find anything about the model . Only the rainbow six edition with other specs. Does anyone have info for me about that specific laptop i mentioned.i can buy it for 1800euros
Hello my friend, I am thinking of buying a new gaming laptop, which one do you recommend between:
1.- Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16" 165Hz QHD 500 nits Gaming Laptop, AMD Ryzen 9-6900HX, 32GB DDR5 RAM 1TB SSD, RTX 3070 Ti 8GB GDDR6
2.- MSI Katana 15 15.6" 144Hz FHD, Intel Core i7-13620H, RTX 4070, 16GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe SSD
Thank you I hope your answer as soon as possible

On a laptop wether it's 100w or 140w tgp doesn't seem to matter, at 100w there's some cap that doesn't improve almost at all. Though 105w tgp probs mean 15w boost so 90w really and then there's a bit of a difference between 100w and 90w.
How to know the W of a laptop?
@br0stone105 Very difficult to know. You have to look at r views and videos. Laptop wattages are one of the shadiest practices in the PC hardware industry
I honestly hate the way modern laptops are now for their storage media because i am using an 8tb 2.5" SSD in my main system and thought about selling my desktop for a very good gaming laptop but since all modern types i have been seeing only opt for M.2 devices it turns me away which come on you can also see they always have an empty spot to fit one in but no sata connection to plug one in.
Theoretically, it should be possible to connect a SATA SSD to an M.2 port using an adapter...
I can't control the fans in the afterburner application, can someone who knows the solution help?
Great channel man! I'd love to see a video on optimizing battery life for modern intel based laptops!
you need to buy an amd laptop for that ! intel like putting desktop cpu in laptop

Sir, in the following video, you review the MSI Katana B13VFK laptop, it uses i7 13620H and the important thing is how many watts can be tdp when dynamic boost is turned on on the rtx4060
Hi. I want to know which one more powerful? Your laptop with 4060 and maybe 115 watts or 4070 with 105 watts
How much fps on csgo2 pls told me 🙏🙏🙏😭
Why is RDR 2 fps so low ?
Legion slim 5 with 4070 has 96 fps.
80 watt 4070? I think a 150W 3070Ti would edge this one out
On MSI website its lister as 105watt
My 3080ti take 175watt. Only frame generation makes this new laptop better and less power usage
I disagree with your conclusion. I would recommend a quality, discounted model from last year that this machine. $1500 isn't chump change, and you can get some quality machines for that kind of money. The 4070 in this machine isn't bringing enough over the 3070 for serious consideration. This machine has far too many compromises to make it worth recommending.
Hey, feel free to disagree with me, but you should rewatch my conclusion then, because I do recommend other laptops over this one. The only exception would be if they are mainly going to use an external monitor, then this one isn’t a bad option imo.
@@GizmoSlipTech We have a difference of opinion. You do recommend this machine for certain users. I wouldn't recommend it under any circumstances. That's why I said I disagreed.
@@darrell9616 Aww..I see. Perfectly valid opinion, though I don’t think the build quality is as bad as you are thinking it is. Honestly, feels not terrible in hand.
@@GizmoSlipTech You are right on the build quality. The terrible screenis more of a deal breaker for me TBH.Any of the Legions from last year are better from what I saw here. I've priced LCD panels in the past and it's interesting how much you can get, especially at volume, for an extra $20.
@@GizmoSlipTech If you're mostly using an external monitor because your screen is so garbage, just get a desktop lol. I never understand that argument. Your laptop isn't mobile if that's the use case plugged into a monitor. Hence why having a decent screen is one of the most important things on a laptop.
How does this hold against Legion 5 pro with 4060 ?
Legion pro 5 has better display and chassis. Would probably recommend the Legion over this one unless this one is cheaper
well, what about legion 5 slim with 7840hs and 4060 ?
is 4070 here a dealbreaker ?@@GizmoSlipTech
We need from 3070 an higher a 1440p laptop screen. A Full HD screen is for 3060 and lower.
I wish you could do the Acer predator Helios 18
Me too!
Should i buy this or lenovo legion pro 5i rtx 3070 ti ?
for the screen i would prefer lenovo, after 7 month did you make your mind?
@@puyaaaa haha yea i bought the lenovo
@@zakariyaechmaili5647 congrats. the current msi is at 1199$ this moment but i HATE the screen. might aswell just wait
I find it almost criminal that they sell gen 13 + a 4060 and a gen 12 + a 4070.
The CPU is almost the same anyway
Is it better than a ps5 or a series x in performance?
Yes, a laptop with rtx 3060 140w Is comparable to ps5
Better i think but not by a whole lot and the PS5 will never use it’s full power
If graphics cards and consoles are getting bigger, why aren't laptops?? Gaming laptops seem like a subscription to 1080p streaming "optimization download"💯
Laptops are meant to be portable, a lot of people don't want bigger laptops. But plenty of laptops are bigger, and most certainly not 1080P. The laptop I'm typing on right now has a 4K 144 Hz display.
There is new version with QHD 100% p3 in katana 17
Im a student so the batteries not the best but i got it for 1150 which i think is a steal of a deal.
Is the display good enough for prolonged gaming/ productivity-reading sessions? kinda worried if it might make your eyes hurt. Fellow student here.
It's ok for i7-12650H and RTX 4050 for 1199€?

Hey bro. Im not sure if i should go for this laptop or a legion 5 3070ti w way better build quality and display. What do you think?
In my opinion, MSI has better motherboard and hardware quality, but inferior hinges and build quality in general.
@@Strozerg yes exactly. So which one would you prefer? Build quality/display or good hardware with not so good display?
Could go either way, but in general--if it was my money right now, I'd go for RTX 4000 series since I really think Frame Generation will be featured in so many games. If all you play is e-sports games though, you can skip frame generation since it won't be used in those games.
As I say in this video though, the Katana 15's display is not good, so I'd recommend other units over this one unless you're going to focus on using an external display potentially.
@@GizmoSlipTech thank you soo much bro. I really appreciate your work!! MAD RESPECT
@@ahmedzain5720 I'd go for the Legion honestly with the 3070Ti unless you care about frame generation for an extra $400 or so. If a bunch of games had it you could make the argument, the 3070Ti Legion for $1400 from B&H Photo on sale right now is definitely the best bang for buck option
It cost 1250£ in uk but the screen is not so bright
"now i have not tried undervolting it yet but uhhh i did make sure you that you could".....30 mins later..."uh oh, no undervolting"
What did you "make sure"???😮
Will this be able to run fortnite on 120 fps plus🤔🤔🤔🤔
This laptop i feel its strong enough for me for some Fortnite Modern warfare and some other games
watt ?
thanks for the review! just got this laptop, using external fullhd monitor 144hz 1080p. ...and playing warzone 2 or hunt showdown on it is not a good experience. fps are good but every other minute i get like 2 seconds of extreme stutter (game shows i have packet loss, which i in fact do not have). havent had this issue on acer nitro 5 (rtx 3080) with all the same settings. pretty underwhelming and dont know what to do.
edit: also there is some kind of sound clipping ingame as well as when skipping through youtube videos. feels like something is way off here with this machine
Try a clean install, I saw enough reports before getting my GL65 leopard that in MSI driver package and their additional software (dragon center?) can cause issues.
@@mikemockler2079 thx. Just did that today but it is the same sound issue. Will try to uninstall the msi software though which oddly is always installed on its own.
@@mikemockler2079can you set the resolution to 1600p on a game with a 1080p display? Will it have problems?
@@ASS_ault turning up EVERYTHING possible in msi software to performance helped to reduce occuring of stutters, but did not fully fix. And was too loud also. I returned id shortly after because thats not what i expect for this price. Id rather get a 3080 laptop with better tdp or any other 4070 model, this one is comaparble low cost for a reason.
